Spring Security with AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver and i18n

Question

I’m stuck, maybe I missed something in the documents or made a small mistake.

Spring Security 3.0.5 was included in my Spring MVC 3.0.5 application. AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver is used for local discovery, and localization is working fine except for security error messages.

I copied messages.properties from the Spring Security Pack and renamed and added a bean (ResourceBundleMessageSource) to the existing "messageSource" list of values.

As mentioned earlier, all texts and messages are correctly localized, except for protective seams, for using hard-coded English messages.

Any ideas how to solve this?

UPDATE:
My xy-servlet.xml contains:

...
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
...
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basenames">
        <list>
            <value>defaultMessages</value>
            <value>securityMessages</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

and files

• defaultMessages.properties
• defaultMessages_en.properties
• defaultMessages_de.properties
• defaultMessages_sl.properties

and

• securityMessages.properties
• securityMessages_en.properties
• securityMessages_de.properties
• securityMessages_sl.properties

but it defaultMessagesworks fine. securityMessagesno. I made small changes to all the securityMessagesfiles, but they are ignored and hardcoded English messages are displayed.

UPDATE v2: My dispatcher-servlet.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basenames">
        <list>
            <value>defaultMessages</value>
            <value>securityMessages</value>
            <value>org/springframework/security/messages_de</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean> 

<!-- Persistence -->
<bean id="myPMF" class="org.springframework.orm.jdo.LocalPersistenceManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="persistenceManagerFactoryName" value="transactions-optional"/>
</bean>     

<!-- Form Validator -->

</beans>

Answer 1

Finally, the solution!

The bean for security messages, apparently, I should have declared in applicationContext-security.xml and not in the context of the xml config application ... I did not find it anywhere in the manual!

In my case, the correct bean solution in applicationContext-security.xml:

    <b:bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
        <b:property name="basenames">
            <b:value>secMessages</b:value>
        </b:property>
    </b:bean>
