I use the ResourceBundle.getBundle(MyClass.class.getName(), myLocale) in my
Super Class to to get the property data. This way, I can also have
MyClass.properties, or MyClass_xx.properties as part of my class package.
Bellow are examples of MyClass with 2 set of property files.
Regards,
t.a.
-------- MyClass.properties ----
MyClass.Hello="Hello There. This is a test."
-------- MyClass_fr.properties ----
MyClass.Hello="Bonjour L�. C'est un essai."
-------- MyClass.java ----
public MyClass extends MySuperClass {
public void main(String[] arg) {
MyClass mc_default = new MyClass();
System.out.println(mc_default.getString("MyClass.Hello");
MyClass mc_french = new MyClass();
mc_french.setLocale(Locale.FRENCH);
System.out.println(mc_french.getString("MyClass.Hello");
}
}
-------- MySuperClass.java ----
public MySuperClass {
private ResourceBundle myBundle;
private Locale locale;
// ....
public Locale getLocale() {
if (locale == null) {
locale = Locale.getDefault();
}
return locale;
}
public void setLocale(Locale locale) {
this.locale = locale;
}
public ResourceBundle getMyBundle() {
if (myBundle == null) {
myBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(this.class.getName(), getLocale());
}
return myBundle();
}
public setMyBundle(ResourceBundle myBundle) {
this.myBundle = myBundle;
}
public String getString(String key) {
return getMyBundle().getString(key);
}
}
