Folks
I need to internationalize an app - returning Locale specific formats
for currency and date.
One way to do that is to add getLocalised<PropertyName>() and
setLocalised<PropertyName>() to the formbeans for each affected
property. These methods will then apply whatever formatting is needed.
Ugh, you'd have to have a seperate getter/setter pair for every locale
you wanted to support, and how would you know which one to call in the JSP?
But, for the <bean:write> tag to work this involves having an extra
getter/setter for each property that needs localisation.
Is there anyway round this? Is there an accepted solution?
Your getters/setters shouldn't need to know about the locale, they just
make the data available. Formatting for locale should happen in the
view. Format strings go in your per-locale resource bundle, and are
referenced with the formatKey attribute of the bean:write tag [1].
There are other ways to do the same thing (including using the JSTL
'fmt' tags/functions instead of bean:write), but the objective is the
same: make formatting data part of your localization resources.
