Spring MVC internationalization (i18n) message support can be used for a simple config / property file. Add following bean definition on your container xml config file:

The bean above will read properties key-value pairs from WEB-INF/i18n/site.properties. Make sure you create this file with standard java-style properties:

site.name=Cool Bananas

Then in your JSP views, without any further intervention you can inject the values. Use spring message tag to achieve this

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring" %>
