I have recently developed an app using Spring and Spring MVC for the web part. I am now begining a new development, and I'd like to do it using JSF.

The main problem I have, is that all the configuration files, including language bundles, must be in a directory outside the application. The path will be available through a system directory.

The question is: Is there anyway to load an external file system resource, using f:loadBundle or a similar tag?.

Doesn't mind if the solution is achieved using JSF, or MyFaces.
