I have recently downloaded Alfresco 5.0 and am working my way through the book, taking into account the changes in 5.0 as far as I can.

I am attempting some simple customizations of the Collaborations site.

Following the example on p378/9, I have placed the following bean in:
/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/custom-slingshot-application-context.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
<bean id="webscript.resources"
class="org.alfresco.i18n.ResourceBundleBootstrapCo mponent">
<property name="resourceBundles">
<list>
<value>alfresco.web-extension.messages.mycustom</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>

web-extension/messages/mycustom.properties contains:

page.siteDashboard.title=Erewhon Social Care: Dashboard
header.my-sites.label=My Cases
header.my-sites.description=My Cases

But nothing happens when I stop tomcat and relaunch Share - I still see "My Sites", not "My Cases".....

Is this something to do with the changes in version 5.0? or am I doing something else wrong....

Hope you can help - tearing my hair out, Dave

PS. the space in "Co mponent" was introduced by the editor, it's not in my code!
