This is my messageResource declaration

When I run my application, this error shows up
No message found under code 'country.plural' for locale 'fil_PH'
now inside my messages folder inside web-inf, I have the following message properties
messages_en.properties
messages_fr.properties
messages.properties
What Am I missing here?
In general such issue appears not because of non-existence locale, but because MessageBundle is configured improperly. In your case you seem to need to remove "/" in your basename.
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource"
p:basename="/WEB-INF/messages" />
Why it is so:
If you have messages.properties and messages_en.properties bundle, then bundle name is messages. If you have them in the WEB-INF folder, then basename is /WEB-INF/messages, i.e. according to /path/to/bundle/bundlename. If you have messages.properties within /WEB-INF/messages folder, then corresponding basename is /WEB-INF/messages/messages.
