JSF: Refresh Bean AND get different Language bundle per host (Properties)

Hi again,

two small gadgets for you:

1. Get and default bean attributes for different websites or different languages

Sometimes you have the same portlet-code for different websites. I use multiple properties files and select the same within the bean with the following code:

private void initBeanData() {
FacesContext fCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

ResourceBundle bundle =
ResourceBundle.getBundle( this.getBundleByHost() , fCtx.getViewRoot().getLocale());
_name = bundle.getString("name_default");
_entryText = bundle.getString("text_default");
}

FacesContext fCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String host = ((PortletRequest)fCtx.getExternalContext().getRequest()).getServerName();
if (host.contains("localhost"))
return "LocalBundle";
...

2. Refresh (backing) Bean

After submitting some input I asked myself how to refresh the backing bean? After some research I found a LOT of people having the same problem.
That seems pretty funny in the meanwhile to me as I realized now how easy that is. Maybe there are some people like me that didn't get it the first time. ;)

Here is the code:

public void reset(ActionEvent actionEvent) {

this.initBeanData();
}

(For the init method: see above :) )

Then of course you have to call the method as always from the view (here: JSP):
