Internationalization in JSP

I have four different language names
>
English, German, French, Spanish
inside index.jspAll fours are under hyperlinked.
TO DO is:
when user clicks this, the value of English (=EN), the value of German (=DE),
respectively will be passed to the method called,
>
setThisLocale("EN"); or setThisLocale("DE")
this method will call getBundle method.
there won't be any form and submit button How can I implement this?
How other people have done internationalization in JSP?
Thanks in advance -

Internationalization in jsp,struts

I have retrieve german data from database as well as messages in ApplicationResources.properties file.
I am using UTF-8 encoding to display characters. The code given below
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
It displays correctly the data coming from database But the same time, messages coming from message resources are converted in junk characters.
FYI: i saved the both file (jsp and properties) encoding type as UTF-8
Please give your suggestion.

It works if you do it properly. I've gotten it to work with Japanese.

Internationalization for JSP

I can't i18ned my JSPs pages. SJSS can find string in java but it can't find string between:
my texte <How internationalized HTML/JSP page with SJSS/NetBeans ?

The I18N support found in the Tools menu of Sun Java Studio or NetBeans is designed to help with I18N tediousness in a J2SE program.
Doing I18N in JSPs is a bit harder than in a J2SE program, since you want to base the text lookup not on the server's context, but on the client's context.
The following article does a good job of explaining how to do it: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/MultilingualJSP/

What is the executable you are trying to debug? A DLL that is called from java?
So your VC project is a DLL? (It's really hard to tell from your posts).
If so, then suppose you have this folder structure:
{dll_project_folder}
{dll_project_folder}\debug\mylib.dll
{java_project_folder}
{java_project_folder}\MyJavaClass.class
Then your VC project settings should be:
Command : {java_root_folder}\bin\java.exe
Command Arguments : -classpath {java_project_folder} MyJavaClass
Working Directory : {dll_project_folder}\debug

          JSPFrame virtually eliminates Java in your JSP. A series of Tags (Dreamweaver extensions
          avail.) provide access to JSPFrames comprehensive features such as:
          Form Management – Stateful, and logical definitions
          Report Writer – Calculation engine, grouping, sub-totalling etc.
          Internationalization features
          JSP’s built against JSPFrame produce significantly less Java code and can be
          easily understood by both HTML and Java developers.
          Built on the MVC approach, JSPFrame is a developer extensible framework with user
          configurable .XML files
          JSPFrame works across any Servlet 2.2 compliant AppServer and has been tested against
          TomCat 3.2x, WebLogic 6 and OrionServer.
          Fully documented, JSPFrame includes a demonstration application to get you started.

Alice when you use HyperlinkShader, are you shading just your CSS files or the iWeb file too. I would not use this application on your iWeb file as the "file" they're referring to here is the index.xml file within your domain file. Eeek. I don't want any third-party messing with that.
I reviewed the source code they posted at their web site and nowhere did I find any reference to manipulation of the TemplatesInfo.plist file. That's the file that would have to be altered to remove registration of your third-party templates. Well, that's the file that tells iWeb to include the template in the list. The actual files have to be installed to the template directory as well.
If it isn't too much trouble, recreate the situation on your machine and send me your PLIST file once the templates have been booted out of the list. Also, check this path and let me know if the actual template files are missing:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
All of my templates are installed to this folder, but other developers may not be using the 1.1 installation location so theirs may be in the old location:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Templates/About Me/
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Templates/Blog/
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Templates/Movie/
...and so on...
If the templates are still in the folder(s) that's one thing. If they've been unregistered in the TemplatesInfo.plist, that's another. There's no reason that HyperlinkShader should be going anywhere near either of these things. They're totally unrelated.

Problem of JSP internationalization

Hi,
I am using tomcat3.x as web server and try to display multibyte characters in JSP page.
I tried the following two methods:
1. at the begiinging of the jsp file I added :
<%response.setContentType="charset=xxx"%>
2. added <meta charset="xxx"> into JSP file
The first method can display correct characters in Tradtional Chinese, Simplified Chinese or Korean if I changed the "xxx" to "big5", "gb2312" or korean charset
But it can't display Japanese characters correctly even if I already changed "xxx" to "shift_jis"
However, if I use the method 2, then all the double byte characters can be displayed correctly.
Does somebody see this problem before? Would you please let me know why the first method doen't work for Japanese? Are there any setting wrong in web server ?
Thanks,
Ping

I used the following page directive and it seemed to do the trick. It didn't work in Netscape 4x but I know that's a whole different ball game. I'm using iPlanet as my web/app server...
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS">

Applying Java's internationalization facilities to a web application

Hello,
I am a member of a software developing team (using Java-based technologies). Our web application consists of a:
1. static part (HTML-based pages), and
2. a dynamic part (using JSPs and servlets, mainly)
The static part of our web site is currently supported in four languages, having our html pages replicated four times. On the other hand, the dynamic part of our web (that is, the part of our web site restricted to authorized
users only, using JSPs and servlets) is only supported in one of those languages and we are thinking of extending it to support, at least, one more of the other languages. Obviously, it wouldn't be manageable replicating the JSP
pages (about a hundred or so) for the new language, so we are thinking of using Java's internationalization facilities. According to what I have understood, we have two possibilities, basing the internationalization process on:
a. properties files (one for each language?)
b. class files
Knowing all this, our problem is a matter of organization of those approaches. How could I organize the different files? Should I use a database to store the messages, instead of using files (either properties files or class files)? Or might I create different files depending on where the string texts appear? For example, create a
properties file or a class file containing the different string messages in every JSP file? Any other ideas of organization or design would be highly appreciated. Do you know any other web site where internationalization has been applied or case studies dealing with this matter?
Thanks in advance.

Whether that be list or property resource bundles, the code is already written to load and manage resource bundles in these formats. I have personally worked with database-backed resource bundles, but that required custom code to be written.
On a performance note, list resource bundles are found before property resource bundles. In a development environment, I've used property resource bundles and when moving an application into production, I have gone through the conversion of the property to list resource bundle format. There's a utility in our book, "Java Internationalization" (O'Reilly) which does conversion from property to list resource bundle format for you.

For example, there's nothing that says you cannot have resource bundles devoted to user exception messages, status messages, regular text, prompt text, etc... By splitting up your resources into different categories and placing them in an appropriately named resource bundle, you can know exactly where certain resources will be pulled from when your application is running.

Images and .properties(bunldes) files are not being found from my JSPs

Hi,
I have created .ear file by using ANT Application. And deployed into Oracle9iAS(OC4J). Here problem is that images and .properties(internationalization bundles)files are not found from JSPs.
Here is my directory structure.
public_html--->locale -->BusinessEntity -->businessentity_en_US.properties
--->enterprise -->images -->knowldege.jpg
--->BusinessEntity-->BEAdd.jsp
in my jsp bundle(.properties)file is accessed like this:-
<i18n:bundle baseName="/locale/-->BusinessEntity/businessentity" id="businessentity" locale="<%= locale %>" />
in my jsp images accessed like this:-
src="/enterprise/images/knowldege.jpg".
In my working environment, without creating .ear file, images and .properties files are being found my JSPs. But if i create .ear file and after deploy, images and .properties files are not being found my JSPs.
please let me know where i might did wrong
thanks in advance

Internationalization for more than 2 countries

I created tiny application (http://01.sk/i18nP2.zip) with 4 locales (US, GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY). It shows current session locale.
I placed button in the view which changes the locale of current user to next locale (US->DE->FR->IT->US).
However when I use full locale (language and country specified) it doesn't work - only 2 languages are shown correctly (button and label texts). Other 2 languages are shown in the locale which was active for this user at deployment time. English-US locale is always OK.
When I comment locale-switching code and ucomment other one which uses language-only locales (ENGLISH->GERMAN->FRENCH->ITALIAN) application can work correctly.
However I can't get country specific stuff like currency symbol/formatting (which is different for all countries using the same language).
Is it bug in WebDynPro 2.0.11 (200502210240) or SAP server (W32/INTEL 7.5.0 Build 019-121-082-363) or I just don't understand something?

The link is for JSP internationalization. Part 2 is considering WebDynpro application but using such resource bundles requires for each text additional command in source code. My application is using automatic builtin system that replaces all static texts (my boss requires to use all builtin "systems" when available). This automatic system works fine when you working with languages. But it stops working when you specify country too (or when you use more than 1 non-english country).

How to configure JSTL for internationalization

Hi,
I am implementing internationalization for one of the my project.I created three properties files for English,Japanese and french(file name like ApplicationResource_fr_FR ...).Based on language selection i am setting current locale in Session.In Jsp page . i write code like these
<% Locale userLocale = (Locale)session.getAttribute("locale");
%>
<fmt:setBundle basename = "ApplicationResource"/>
<fmt:setLocale value="<%=userLocale%>"/>
Now it's working fine.But it's showing only ApplicationResource properties files values. Based on locale it doesn't identify Resource file. If select French it should load ApplicationResource_fr_FR property file. But it's show only default property file( ApplicationResource).
What is the pblm

1. Under channel attributes of an AS2 channel for the trading partner, the Ack Mode has been set to: Async
2. Under Exchange Protocol Parameters, Receipt Delivery Option was set to, http://<host>:<port>/b2b/httpreceiver.
I think, this configuration started working.... Please let me know if any other config I missed.
Thanks

Difficulty with java Unicode for internationalization

First, my appologies for the cross-post. I'm not sure if this is a
configuration issue, simple java / jsp problem or something others
performing internationalization may have encountered.
We're generating UTF-8 HTML pages using .jsp's, Weblogic 5.1 sp5, jdk
1.2.2 and NT 4.0 w/ the Euro patch.
We have the ability to serve UTF-8 encoded data from flat files and our
database but we're having some problems serving Unicode that have been
"escaped" into java variables.
If we use the &#nnnnn (nnnn is decimal unicode value for character) HTML
method for displaying unicode characters, they display just fine.
However, if we create a java String or char and push a character into it
via \uNNNNN (NNNNN is hex unicode value for character) and then display
the content of this variable through the HTML page, something goes
awry. Here's an example:
<% String checkChar = new String("\u0000");%>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u00A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u20A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u30A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
This should display the Yen symbol, Mil Sign and a Katakana small 'u',
respectively. Oddly enough, it displays the Yen symbol all three
times. I've had similar results with other series of Unicode characters
(several Unicode characters that share the same second hex digit.)
If you want to see this via HTML, check out
http://dev.slingshotcorp.com/char.jsp.
We've added "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8" to the java invocation in
startWebLogic.cmd and we've verified that the setting is persisted into
the .jsp. Unfortunately, our output isn't affected.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? It appears that java is somehow
assuming the first hex digit is always "00." Does this sound familiar
to anyone?
Thanks - Jackson

Hello Earl,
I was having similar problem.
I was able to display &#nnnnn and the chinese character
from database, but not \unnnn.
I think Kevin Burns was making a good suggestion by
giving page directive in your jsp file (UTF8) 'cause that's what
I did AND it started to display \unnnn just fine from
my property bundle files. You may give a try!
But my problem is that after I gave the UTF8 page directive,
the stuff I'm reading from db (oracle 8.1.6, with NLS_LANG)
displayed as garbage. Do you think it's because that
WLS supports only Unicode?
thanks,

We believe that the 16-bit characters we're passing around through Java

Does anyone know when (which service pack) provided WL 5.1 JSP with the

Internationalization in content server

I am developing a portal application that needs to support English/French. So far I found ways to translate everything except content coming from content server.
I was planning to create entry templates where content authors would enter the content in both languages, in the presentation template I was going to use a pcs tag to display the proper content based in user locale. Is that possible?
I haven't found a way to pass/read user properties in content server?
Is there any other way to do internationalization in content server?
Thanks

The Content Server's Presentation Template is only evaluated at the time of publishing. This generates a file that is stored outside of the Content Server which is generally accessed through a webserver. This means that you cannot use the Presentation Template language to change the content based on the user viewing the page.
The Content Server does not currently have tools dedicated to supporting localization of published pages. You can use the Content Server to manage content in multiple languages. By publishing a Content Item as a JSP or ASP page you can dynamically choose the content to display to the user. Or you could create two Content Items, one representing each language, and direct the user to the appropriate page.

Internationalization of Error Message

Hi, All
I am using Weblogic 6.1 SP1 and Portal Sever 4.0.
The requirement is all the site has to be internationalization.
Right now I am able to have both English and French for all
the static lable in my JSP by using <i18n:getMessage
messageName="main_lbl_service"/> and bundle property.
For all the data in the Oracle Database, I have created an filter
in JSP to get user specify language item, each item associated with
a language ID in Catalog.
My question is about the error message, like the message I want to
send to user after validation, those message has to be international.
Let say, in my Validator, I want to send different language message
to different user who is using French or Chinese. Can I use message
catalog that is provied by BEA, or I have to use bundle to get the
message in my validator? If yes, how can I access the BUNDLES
within my validator?
Thanks in advance!

i am puting across the complete scenario of this problem.
I have created a simple widget to directly enter in the se38 transaction in SAP-ABAP.I have created 2 files.

After executing with the help of yahoo widget engine,the widget is not able to login in SAP sysytem and giving error message as--
Input field contains prohibited characters(already deleated).
If the user is already loged on the system then widget is running fine.
widget foundation is also installed on the system.
So what is the appropriate solution to this problem?
