Set default locale

Please Help.
I have a form which I use drop down menus to set the currency.
like: numTotal.locale="de_CH";
But somehow the default value that this returns is. "SFr". Is there a way to change this programmatically in my form to always return "CHF".
I don't want to change the regional settings on my PC.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks. But this is not the functionality I am looking for. I need a means to reset the return value of a default locale. eg German(Swiss) or de_CH returns SFr. I want it to return CHF.

How to set default locale in JDK1.3.0 to US?

Hi, everyone!
I found the default locale in JDK 1.3.0 is not set to US when I converted our JDK from 1.2 to 1.3.0. So I have to change code by passing Locale.US.
The output from below test code is:
default=��100.00
US=$100.00
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.*;
public class TestCurrency
public static void main(String[] args)
int amount = 100;
//default
NumberFormat moneyWriter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
System.out.println ("default=" + moneyWriter.format(amount) );
//US
moneyWriter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
System.out.println ("US=" + moneyWriter.format(amount) );
Can anyone tell me how to set default locale in JDK 1.3.0 to US?
Thanks!

You have to set something on your computer (outside Java) to tell it that you are in the US. You didn't say, but I'm going to guess that you are using Windows; if that's so, then try Regional Options in Control Panel.

Setting default locale

I'm having an issue with locales. I'm running SJSAS 8 and every morning (temporarily) a cronjob will reboot the whole system then start up the app server. The problem is that some of our characters in our webapps are showing up as question marks, I think because the locale of the startup user is either incorrect or undefined. If I start up the appserver with a user whose locale is set to something (like en_CA), then there are no issues. So I figured its an issue with the user that executes the cron. I changed the default locale (etc/default/init) to en_CA and rebooted. The next day when the cron ran and the system rebooted, the character issue remained. Is there some other locale I must set?
thanks

Hi,
The problem exists in my project still exist.That is it.
When I did not set weblogic.jsp.encoding to GB2312 in my web
application(web.xml), and when the jsp file contain's chinese , the
output
will be error(error chinese) .And when I did not set it , the output
is
correct, but when I use request.getParameter("SomeFormElement")(theelement
inputed chinese), the return value is error(still chinese error).And
when
I
am in windows nt english version and do not set this property, all
these
two
problems dispear. And I try to compare the java files those were
generated
by weblogic from the jsp file , there is only two additional clause
in
the
java file. That's it:
((weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspWriterImpl)out).setEncoding("GB2312");
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=GB2312");
(the web.xml has <context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
<param-value>GB2312</param-value>
</context-param> to be set
So, I think maybe it works well if I change the default locale toenglish.
And unfortunately, your method is also failed.(I have to use weblogic

Would you please help me to solve this problem?

Setting the user's default locale

Hello all,
I am working with an IRC applet client. This applet loads information based on the client's locale. I found that some machines load the wrong locale, and I guess it is a result of different settings in the OS. I need to make sure that all clients load the same locale. The machines which use this applet are all win32, and I have the benefit of being able to instruct them what to do in order to set their applet to the proper locale.
The way I see it there are two alternatives: either setting the applet or the OS. I tried adding parameters in the Advanced tab of the Plugin's control panel (-Duser.language=he), but it did not help.
Where should I look in the OS in order to set something which will change the applet's default locale?
Is there anything else I can do???
Thanks in advance,
David.

I assume you don't have access to the applet source code -- if so, you could easily change the code to use your own locale.
If it wouldn't be in violation to any license agreement, you could decompile the applet to retrieve the source. There are several open source decompilers, I would just do a search here to get some names.
Alternatively, you could write an applet loader which sets the JVM's default locale (using java.util.Locale.setDefault()) before passing control off to the applet. See http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=474305 (reply 5) for some hints on how this can be done.

Set Default Printer based on user setting using Powershell script

Hi
I would like to create a script that runs on user log off and captures the default printer (set manually by the user) and then another script to reapply the settings (saved upon log off) when the user logs back in.
This is because local printers are set as default printer (PDF Creator Programs) when we all use Network Printers so this means a user has to set default printer to the network printer all the time.
I have found this script to start with:
$Printer = Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
But the out file looks like this:
name
\\PrinterserverName\Accounts01
Which I dont see how it can be used on another script plus there are spaces after\Account01
Any Ideas please?

Maelito

Hi Maelito,
According to your description, you want to export the default printer name to text file, then read this printer name from text file and set the default printer via Powershell:
#save printer name to text file
Get-WmiObject -namespace root\cimv2 -Query “select * from Win32_Printer Where Default = TRUE” -Impersonation 3 | select -ExpandProperty name | out-file C:\temp\Printer.txt
# read printer name from text file and set default printer
$name=get-content C:\temp\Printer.txt
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Printer -Filter "Name='$name'").SetDefaultPrinter()
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Maintaining default locale in multi-lingual application

Hello,
I have a multi-lingual application where the language can be changed at runtime.
To make the following code work properly, the default locale has to be set each
time the language changes. Why?
Since I need to check sometimes the platforms original locale (I do this with
"Locale.getDefault()"), I am looking for a way not to change the default locale,
but still to change the resourceBundle.
In the API I read under "ResourceBundle, Cache Management" that the bundles are cached. Is this the reason why redefining the resourceBundle has no effect? And if yes, how can it be avoided?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Y extends JFrame {
boolean toggle;
Locale currentLocale;
JButton b;
ResourceBundle languageBundle;
String country, userLanguage;
public Y() {
    setSize(300,300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    Container cp= getContentPane();
    b= new JButton();
    b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
     toggle= !toggle;
     if (toggle)
       country= "DE";
     else
       country= "GB";
     setUserLanguage(country);
    cp.add(b, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    setUserLanguage("GB");
    setVisible(true);
public static void main(String args[]) {
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
     new Y();
void setUserLanguage(String country) {
    if (country.equals("DE"))
      userLanguage= "de";
    else
      userLanguage= "en";
    currentLocale = new Locale(userLanguage, country);
//    System.out.println(currentLocale); // The locale changes ...
//    Locale.setDefault(currentLocale); // Remove comment slashes and it works.
//    languageBundle.clearCache(); // No effect.
    languageBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyBundle",currentLocale);
    System.out.println(languageBundle); // ... but the resourceBundle does not change.
    b.setText(languageBundle.getString("ButtonText"));
The resource bundle files:
MyBundle.properties
ButtonText= Just a button
MyBundle_de_DE.properties
ButtonText= Nur ein KnopfEdited by: Joerg22 on 18.08.2008 13:26

What's your default locale? If your default locale is de_DE, that's the expected behavior. The reason for it is the fallback mechanism searches default locale's bundle before falls back to the base bundle, i.e., in case of searching en_GB bundle, the search order is:
en_GB
en
de_DE
de
(base)
So, it will choose MyBundles_de_DE.
If you do not want this default locale fallback, you can specify ResourceBundle.Control instance, which is returned from ResourceBundle.Control.getNoFallbackControl() method, in your getBundle() call. Or if you do not use JDK6, you could copy the base bundle to MyBundles_en, which is ugly but should work.

Default locale support for texts datasources

Hi,
I faced with problem - does BW support default locales ?
I have some texts datasources which contain some list of entries for default locale. The question is - what value of LANGU field I should setup for these entries in order to BW recognize them as for default locales ?
Thanks. I will be apprecated for any related info.
Fiodar.

Hi Fiodar,
well I am not sure about your requirement, but it sounds like you want to add a default value to langu in case the source system doesn't deliver it.
If this is the case, create a update routine in your transfer rules for 0langu. In the routine add the following coding:
if tran_structure-spras is initial. "no language specified
usually the R/3-field is called spras
result = sy-langu. "or a literal like 'EN' ...
else.
pass the given language to the result of the routine.
result = tran_structure-spras.
endif.
That's it.
In case your datasource doesn't even deliver a field for the language, you can just set a constant value to 0langu in your transfer rules.
regards
Siggi

Use GPO to set default language options, IME, display settings?

new to GPO, we have a small Windows Server 2012 domain, all clients on Win7 or Win8. All the clients require the following changes, anything I can automate this with GPO? thanks

Hi lilyl,
According to your description, you would like to deploy some settings about language and display via GPO.
According to my knowledge, the steps you provided are from Windows 8 clients. Based on my test, you can use the following methods to realize:
Add Traditional Chinese HK SAR. Locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload, and then add a String Value "next number"(which has not been used)=00000404.
The region settings. Please refer to the similar post:

The display settings. The post you provided tells us the related registry keys, and you should try to find the right value since you want to custom it.
In addtion, please refer to the following article to learn to deploy a registry item:

Msnbc will not hold its setting..local weather,news needs to be reset every time firefox is opened

When I open firefox, the settings for msnbc I have set default to a different city and local news. When I reset them and save them on msnbc's websit and close the browser, they once again default to the wrong city.

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

How to set default directory for SQL LOADER

hi all,
i wanted to know how can we setup a default directory for SQL LOADER if at all we can. i connot place my control and data files in local system and use them at command prompt. rather i wanted to know if we can set default directory that the loader can use. this requirement is basically to enable all the clients to upload the data placed on the server and use the loader utility.
thanks in advance,
Basavraj

Ella,
You don't say which version of SQL Developer you are using via Citrix, but just setting the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR hasn't worked for a long time (see Re: SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR does not function anymore). Also, since version 1.5, the default for the user directory (now set via ide.user.dir as shown below) is under the user profile area (relative to %APPDATA%), which you should be able to write to, even on Citrix.
Assuming that neither of those help, you will need to get whoever installed SQL Developer on the Citrix C: drive to modify the sqldeveloper.conf to have a line like, where the path exists for everyone who will be using the shared SQL Developer (assumes everyone has a H: drive):
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=H:\sqldeveloperAn alternative (depending on how you start SQL Developer via Citrix), is to create your own shortcut to start SQL Developer with something like:
sqldeveloper -J-Dide.user.dir="%SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR%"theFurryOne

How do you set default programs for all users when deploying Windows 8.1?

I have my Windows 8.1 image set up the way I want including the start screen, theme, etc. But how can I set the default programs for all users. Most of out computers are non-touch and I want the desktop apps (e.g. Windows Photo Viewer), not the store apps
to be the default for opening pictures, videos, etc. Can that be done?

Great question, this has been bugging me too!
So, I did some research by using "Set Default Programs" app in Windows 8. Then I ran the super ProcMon.exe tool from Sysinternals.com <Thanks Mark!>
After filtering out the junk, I could see some *interesting* writes to the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\UserChoice]
"Hash"="57y87/ogggU="
"ProgId"="PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg"
But the "Hash" part had me concerned. I did some internet searching for the hash, and came across a post and a pointer to a blog with some answers. This is both good news and bad.
Background:
One of the problems with Windows XP is that any program can come in and party on the entire system. No, I don't want you to put a shortcut on the desktop, install a crappy IE Toolbar, and change the default file association for *.jpg files to your app, I
just wanted to play a stupid game. Since Windows 7, Microsoft has been attempting to block that functionality from the stupid applications, and give them back to the user. Take note of the last line in the ITaskbarList3 interface:
Applications cannot programmatically pin themselves to the taskbar. That functionality is reserved strictly for the user.
Of course that sucks for us IT Pros who may wish to create *default* working environments for corporate images, but there are some tricks we can do.
Solution:
This blog appears to have the answer:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mrmlcgn/archive/2013/02/26/windows-8-associate-a-file-type-or-protocol-with-a-specific-app-using-a-gpo-e-g-default-mail-client-for-mailto-protocol.aspx
New for Windows 8 is a dism command: /Get-DefaultAppAssociations that allows you to export a control case from a known good computer. Microsoft the supports importing the exported xml file via GPO. For example, before I changed the file association, .AVI
was pointing to the Modern App, after the change the /export-DefaultAppAssociations shows change to the new app:
From:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt" ApplicationName="Video" />
To:
<Association Identifier=".avi" ProgId="VLC.avi" ApplicationName="VLC media player" />
I am still doing some investigation to see if a GPO is required, or if you can inject the association into a local user account. Also, if you do have some Modern Windows 8 Touch Tablets, it would recomend keeping most of the Modern App defaults in place,
perhaps seperate GPO's for Desktops/Laptops vs Tablets?
