resourcebundle

I'm testing Java's i18n features and have a problem, I can't load the language file when it's not in the class root. Right now my files are in the /lang directory. Looked several answers here in SO, putting it in a classes subdir and loading it like lang.Messages , used complete location routing /Test/lang/Message (test is the project name), using just /lang/Message and still I'm getting the: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name error. Anything else to try? My file structure is: Test/lang/Messages_es.properties Test/src/test/Main.java import java.util.Locale;

We are using fmt:setBundle to load a resource bundle from a database (we extended the ResourceBundle class to do that). When we modify a value in database, we have to reload the web server to display the new value on the web app. Is there any simple way to use the new value without restarting the web server ? (We do not want to always look up the value from database but we would like to invalidate the cache, for example by calling a special 'admin' URL) EDIT : We are using JDK 1.4, so I would prefer a solution on that version. :) As others have pointed out in the comments, you might want to

Nothing I've found has been able to help me solve this one specific case. I recently switched from a plain old java web app project (which was working) to a maven web project. I get the following runtime exception: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name com.myapp.config, locale en I am using Netbeans to create a JSF 2.0, Spring, and Hibernate web app. I have the following directory structure: src\main\java\com\myapp Contains config.properties src\main\resources Empty target\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\com\myapp Contains compiled class files without config.properties src

I'm searching for a tool, ant-task, IDE plugin, ... which helps with I18N of a Java application using the standard message-properties resource bundles. Both open source and commercial solutions are welcome. Specifically I'm searching for support in the following tasks: 1) Extract the used keys from Java-code, JSPs and other artifacts. Since custom frameworks are involved the extraction should allow customization. Mapping of the source artifact to a certain message bundle. Also with custom rules. Report used keys which are not in the bundle. Report keys which are in the bundle but in none of

Spring's ResourceBundleMessageSource uses MessageFormat for replacing placeholders ( {0} ) inside messages. MessageFormat requires that single quotes ( ' ) are escaped using two single quotes ( '' ) (see: MessageFormat Javadoc ). However, by default messages that does not contain any arguments will not be parsed by MessageFormat , so single quotes in messages without arguments don't need to be escaped. So your translator have to be aware of two rules in writing and maintaining resource bundle: write ( '' ) if the message with the single quotes contains at least one placeholders ( {0} ) too;

I want to load multiple property files from various packages as ResourceBundle. Can I achieve that in Java Extend java.util.PropertyResourceBundle and call setParent . ResourceBundle.Control() controls the list of files for the ResourceBundle. You can overwrite getCandidateLocales and toBundleName. toBundleName converts locale to the "file name" and the list of locales you can control in getCandidateLocales. For example like final String[] variants = new String[]{"your names"}; ResourceBundle.getBundle(baseName, locale, new ResourceBundle.Control() { public List<Locale> getCandidateLocales

We had a lot of strings which contained the same sub-string, from sentences about checking the log or how to contact support, to branding-like strings containing the company or product name. The repetition was causing a few issues for ourselves (primarily typos or copy/paste errors) but it also causes issues in that it increases the amount of text our translator has to translate. The solution I came up with went something like this: public class ExpandingResourceBundleControl extends ResourceBundle.Control { public static final ResourceBundle.Control EXPANDING = new
