It looks like it is looking for it in the root of either the machine or CATALINA_HOME. Resolve the path correctly and you'll probably find your problem. You didn't provide the path so the loader assumes the root.

Is there a way to use my InitServlet's getter to set the resource bundle? Am I going about this the wrong way?
