Hi, I also had the same problem. Using <s:loadBundle> from the myfaces sandbox solved this issue.

It sometimes happens that the resource bundle returned from "getBundle" is "null". Is there a better way to retrieve the bundle? Is the bundle-loading or view-root depending on a certain render-phase? If nobody has an idea I would try to post it as a bug, since it is reproducable behaviour. Marcel
