How to handle internationalization in a Spring application (inside a class)

I already know how to handle internationalization in a Spring application using <spring:message code="xxx"/> in a JSP page. Now my users are allowed to change languages using simple links like

<a href="?lang=it">IT</a> and <a href="?lang=en">EN</a>

Now, I have to handle internationalization inside a class. This is what I did:

1) I created a text.xml file to identify where my texts are

.....
<bean id="messageSource"  class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="struttura"></property>     
</bean>
......

2) I created a different properties files according to different languages

3) I use this method to get the message according to the locale

......
ApplicationContext context =  new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("text.xml");
String stringa = context.getMessage("textCode",null, locale);
.......

Everything works. But I'm sure this is not the fastest and cleanest way to do it. It looks too intricate!

Does anybody know a better way to reach my goal?

MessageResource is a Spring managed bean so you can just inject it into your controllers (or other Spring managed classes):

@Autowired 
private MessageSource messageResource;
