It's not a bug... at least not Orion's ....
CASE 1:
If you are using jdk1.3, you'll know this is a known bug... ResourceBundle
is broken in 1.3. Test the app with jdk1.2.2 and your problems will go away.
CASE 2:
ECS might be using the wrong ClassLoader... Apache code usually misbehaves
in this aspect. I only wish they would take advice... In Tomcat this might
work, since contrary to Orion, Tomcat has no notion of REALLY isolated web
applications.
