Two resource bundles: branding andlanguage

I was asked to brand our Flex product. I already am using
resource modules for language. That I got working. But I would also
like a separate resource file for each product branding to specify
items like a logo for instance where the logo is specified in the
branding resource properties or a background image or a color and
so on.
Language startup is set with a passed in locale variable and
changes as needed dynamically via user interaction and that I got.
But branding would be something done once on launch but
dynamically via some passed in variable which would select the
resource bundle. Basically one build and not one for each branding.
Does this make sense and how would I do it.

Sorry about the duplicate post, but I got a reset message on
posting and complied with it.

How to merge two resource bundle values ?

Hi All,
JDev ver : 11.1.1.7
I want to merge two resource bundle values.. How to do it ?
like this #{expr ? str1 : str1 + str2}
I tried like the one below and used some jstl fuctions... but no use not worked.. got some parse exception, compilation exception,etc..
<af:outputText value="#{ row.accountName eq 'AccountName9' ? resource['LBL_WELC'] : resource['LBL_WELC'] + resource['LBL_HOME'] }"/>
Let me know how to do this ?
Regards,
Gopi

The above outputtext is an example, I may use diff bundle keys like below,
<af:outputText value="#{ row.accountName eq 'AccountName9' ? resource['LBL_TEST'] : resource['LBL_KEY1'] + resource['LBL_KEY2'] }"/>
The principle is the same
<af:outputText value="#{ row.accountName eq 'AccountName9' ? resource['LBL_TEST'] : '' }#{ row.accountName eq 'AccountName9' ? '' : resource['LBL_KEY1'] }#{ row.accountName eq 'AccountName9' ? '' : resource['LBL_KEY2'] }"/>

How faces-config with two resource bundle???

Hi all,
In my application,
I want to put several message bundle in faces-config.xml.
How can I do that?
I defined two message bundle like
<application>
<default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
<message-bundle>com.resource1</message-bundle>
<message-bundle>com.resource2</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<supported-locale>en</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
but the application cannot get messages in resource1 file.

Hi,
you need to load the bundles on the page
<f:loadBundle basename="Bundle" var="msg"/>
<f:loadBundle basename="Bundle2" var="msg2"/>
<af:outputText value="#{msg[\'message.key\']}"/>
<af:outputText value="#{msg2[\'message.key\']}"/>
Then you can use strings in both properties files. If you only need the strings of one file, delete the other reference

How to compare and edit Resource bundle file using java programe

Hi All
I have two resource bundle with key, value and some comments. I need to write a java code to compare both of the values of the keys and if the values are different then i want to replace the second value with the first value.
Its a programe which will udpate the second file with the first file values.
I tried using Properties class but it didnt worked because when i am saving the file using store method it removes all the comments and the order of text also got disturbed.
How I need to do this any help appriciated.
Please elt me know if someone needs more info.
Thanks in advance.

Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class Test {
     private static Properties props;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
          props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
          read(file);//Read the ini file
          //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
          props.setProperty("testing", "value");
          write(file);//Write to ini file
     public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
          FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
          props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
          fis.close();//close
     public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
          props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
          fos.close();//close
}

Custom error messages - resource bundle

Greetings everyone!
My JDev version is: 11.1.2.3.0
I've seen several threads in OTN and outside about this topic, but they seem confused (or may be it's me that is missing something).
I have this current situation, when because of the presence of a FK in the database, when a try to delete a certain record, a popUp shows up ORA-02292 error code. I don't want to enable cascade deletion (i don't want anything to be deleted in that case at all), so i was trying to customize the error message. I've created a java class and declared it as a resource bundle in the Model project. The content is this:
public class CustomErrorMessages extends ListResourceBundle {
    private static final Object[][] sMessageStrings = new String[][] {
{"25014", "Another user has made a modification to this record meanwhile. Please cancel your changes!"},
    {"CREDITOR", "This party is assigned as a creditor/debtor in this contract. It cannot be deleted!"},
    {"DEBTOR", "This party is assigned as a creditor/debtor in this contract. It cannot be deleted!"}
    /**Return String Identifiers and corresponding Messages in a two-dimensional array.
    protected Object[][] getContents() {
        return sMessageStrings;
25014 - refers to JBO-25014 and it works fine. Now CREDITOR/DEBTOR are the FK mentioned above. If i put 02292 or ORA-02292 instead of them it doesn't work at all. If i let them just like this, it works if i run the Application Module only, but not when i run the application. What does it mean?
Also, i've noticed that the ViewController project has also a "Resource Bundle" section in the properties, but the content is disabled. Should i do any kind of configuration to make it work?
Thank you in advance.

Java: Loading Resource Bundle File with UTF-8

I have found out all my previous problems now, thank you all for your assitance with this...
During the time we have worked so solve our problem with UTF-8 charset we have found new problem with this?
I don't know if this is the right forum to put this up, if not please let us know where to go with this?
I have prepared both Eclipse (JSP Files) and GlassFish to run all my files in charset UTF-8. Then i got my
resource bundle files(property files) to use UTF-8 encoding. Everything looks fine in my text editor. Then
when i upload these pages every character retrieved from my resource bundles look garbled. This is because
Java loads property files using ISO 8859-1 character encoding.
This is a problem from Sun i have read on the internet!
Note: that in JDK 1.6, you can use PropertyResourceBundle constructor to take a Reader which uses UTF-8 encoding.
please have a look at these links for more info:
[http://www.kai-mai.com/node/128]
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/PropertyResourceBundle.html]
Note: PropertyResourceBundle can be constructed either from an InputStream or a Reader, which represents a property file.
Constructing a PropertyResourceBundle instance from an InputStream requires that the input stream be encoded in ISO-8859-1.
In that case, characters that cannot be represented in ISO-8859-1 encoding must be represented by Unicode Escapes,
whereas the other constructor which takes a Reader does not have that limitation.
What i have read and understand is that the real solution to the problem is: Get the fmt lib to use a Reader instead of an
InputStream. Alternativly if it works get a ResourceBundle instead of creating one that is wrong all the time? I have to create
my own ResourceBundle instead of using my own fmt lib wich i cannot trust in a way any more. Is this right or am i comletly wrong?
My WebTexts files, en, sv and ry are my resource property bundles. To be able to read them i will use resource property bundle reader.
Fmt lib gives me this but it seems that it inciates this in an InputStream (wich is looked to iso-8859-1) instead of a reader who can
read UTF-8 without no problem. So can i get my fmt lib to change this or not, anybody have an idea about this???

Ok, i know there are a few ways of doing this already. The problem is that i have no idea how to use these different problem solving issues. First we have the;
1. native2ascii command line utility.
2. use the XML properties format.
3. other ways of converting from iso-8859-1 to utf-8.
The last one i have tried already but i never get this to work. So after knowing of 2 standardized solutions you choose to implement your own non-standard soltion? That's usually not a good idea until you've verified that the standardized solution don't help.
This is also not the best solution to the problem i have to say. This way i will have both properties files and source files to work with and that is to much i think. Either i will use the native2ascii command or use XML properties format like you say here. I need some more insight in how these two work only because i have no idea my self.Uhm .. read [the documentation|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html]? loadFromXML/storeToXML work pretty much exactly the same as load/store, except they handle XML. Try it, look at what it produces, learn.
Could you please help and explain how to use either this native2ascii command line work or how this XML format properties would work for me. Please i need guidance here with this!!![native2ascii is documented as well|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/native2ascii.html].
If you have a specific question after reading those, feel free to ask here.
You really have to work on your Google-fu, it seems to be too weak.

Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'components' for locale 'en_US'

We are porting a fairly large body of Flex3 code developed under FlexBuilder 3 to Flex4 under FlashBuilder 4. Most of the conversion appears to be working fine, with one exception. When I launch the Flex4 version, all my data interchanges with the server works. Just as it is about to show the UI, the following error occurs:
     Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'components' for locale 'en_US'
I am actually using a locale of fr_FR, but I assume it couldn't find that, reverted to en_US, failed again and then barfed. If I look in
     ~Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.0.0\frameworks\locale\fr_FR
I see a lot of swc files, and of course no 'components.swc'. I believe the problem is that our Flex3 code is using mx components, and the compatibility mode is not properly handling it for some reason. I think this is mostly from our in-house UI library. The properties for that library (and for my main app I am testing now) have:
     - Use default SDK (currently "Flex 4.0")
     - Use Flex 3 compability mode
     - Use minimum version (Flash Player) required by the Flex SDK
     - Enable strict type checking
     - Enable warnings
I also tried putting the compatibility flag in the mxmlc compile line, with no change in behavior. This project is built by the following script:
ruby scripts/concat_properties.rb -o resources.properties ^
     src/main/flex/locale/fr_common/res_myname_fr_common.properties ^
     src/main/flex/locale/fr_common/scout/res_myname_scout_fr_common.properties ^
     src/main/flex/locale/fr_fr/res_myname_fr_fr.properties ^
     ../../scout/common/src/locale/fr_common/mypals/resources.properties
mxmlc -locale=fr_FR -source-path=. ^
     -compatibility-version=3.0.0. ^
     -static-rsls=true ^
     -include-resource-bundles=resources ^
     -output src/main/resources/bundles/mypals/fr_fr_resources.swf
copy src\main\resources\bundles\mypals\fr_fr_resources.swf ^
     bin-debug\bundles\mypals
What have I missed???

You have two posts. I will try to answer each completely. Second one first. You say I should change my build to include the framework resources. I am afraid I am not sure which and what to do there. We combine all our properties file into one large one, then use the following build line:
mxmlc -locale=fr_FR,en_US -source-path=. ^
     -compatibility-version=3.0.0. ^
     -static-rsls=true ^
     -include-resource-bundles=resources ^
     -output src/main/resources/bundles/mypals/fr_fr_resources.swf
I am assuming you are telling me to change the "-include-resource-bundles" line, but what to add? The "sdks\4.0.0\frameworks\locale\en_US" holds 13 swf files. I tried adding that entire folder (along with the fr_FR folder) to the project library path (in the project properties dialog), but that made no change. I also tried reverting the library path tab back to "MX Only" instead of "MX + Spark", but again no change.
====================
For your first message, I did a search for 'spark' in the entire project. It only existed on 3 lines, each at the start of css files:
    @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
I had put those in based on reading needed changes to naming in CSS. Since I was not actually using any spark ('s') components yet, I removed these lines. The entire project now does not have the word 'spark' anywhere in it. No change in behavior (as I expected).
I did a search for "s:" throughout the project. That does exist in probably 100 places, but all are legitimate. Things like (xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml") or variable names ("var matches:Object"). No reference to any s: object. (While on the topic, why does FlashBuilder still not have a "whole word" box to limit searches??).
Note that when I first reported this problem, the compiler was set to ONLY support fr_FR. In fighting this, I changed it to "en_US,fr_FR" hoping that would tell the compiler to load whatever en_US items it was looking for. We really do not want any English support in this version. (We do have another SWF created with only support for en_US, and another for en_UK, etc. Each language is a separate node on our server, so there is no need to mix & match at runtime)
The console shows a lot of swf loads that I do not understand...
The console output shows (my comments after ==> indicator)

Resource bundles and sort order?

I am wanting to use a resource bundle to store entries that can then be displayed sorted in a combo-box component in an HTML page, though it does not seem to be working out. Basically I am using JSTL and Struts2, and the select component can take various collection types including a Map. As an alternative I tried using a properties file, but this has two issues:
- I loose the locale resolution mechanism provided by ResourceBundle
- The order in which the entries appeared in the file is lost (it does not inherit from LinkedHashMap)
What approach would you recommend to loading a localised list and then ensure it displays in the order of the display values. I looked around the net, but I am yet to find anything of use.

If you want to have default values, I would suggest using ResourceBundles and just sending in a Locale with the variant of the company. That way if your application ever needs to be localized it won't take much to change it. Your properties files would be named baseName_languageCode_CountryCode_Variant.properties.
It has been a great advantage for the program that I am developing.

Resource Bundles and Embedded fonts - best practice

Hello,
I am in digging into creating a localized app and I would
like to use embedded fonts.
Ideally, I would like to have two locales (for example), each
with a different embedded font and/or unicode range.
For example, how do I set up my localized app so that EN uses
Arial (Latin Range), and JP uses Arial Unicode MS with Japanese
Kanji unicode range ?
Note that I do know how to embed fonts with different ranges,
I just don't know how to properly embed them into resource bundles
and access them easily in style sheets.
Thanks!
-Daniel

Hello!
This is a very pertinent question, however as many things in life there is no one size fits all here.
We basically recommend, as best practice, to allocate for each specific context only the estimated needed resources. These values should always come from a previous study on the network patterns/load.
To accomodate for growth and scalability it is strongly advised to initially keep as many resources reserved as possible and allocate the unused resources as needed. To accomplish this goal, you should created a reserved resource class, as you did already, with a guarantee of 20 to 40 percent of all ACE resources and configure a virtual context solely with the purpose of ensuring that these resources are reserved.
As you might already know ACE protects resources in use, this means that when decreasing a context's resources, the resources must be unused before then can be reused by other context. Although it is possible to decrease the resource allocations in real time, it typically requires additional overhead to clear any used resources before reducing them.
Based on the traffic patterns, number of connections, throughput, concurrent SSL connections , etc, for each of the sites you will be deploying you will have a better idea on what might be the estimated needed resources and then assign them to each of the contexts. Thus this is something that greatly depends on customer's network environment.
Hope this helps to clarify your doubts.

ADF: Translated XLIFF Resource Bundle not Selected at Runtime

Issue: When I run my ADF app in a web browser where French is selected as the default language, the labels on the form are still populated with English text from the default resource bundle, even though an XLIFF resource bundle for French exists.
Details: I have created a default XLIFF resource bundle containing the text for all labels on my form in English, called labels.xlf. I have also created two translated XLIFF bundles for French and German and named them labels_fr.xlf and labels_de.xlf, respectively.
On my form, I have used value expressions to retrieve the text for each component's label, like label="#{res.language}. JDeveloper added '<c:set var="res" value="#{adfBundle['oracle.fosxliff.uitest.labels']}"/>' to the top of my page, so I could access the resource bundle text. Identifying the resource bundle in the faces-config.xml file does not work. However, I did define which locales are supported by my application in this config file.
*NOTE:* When I access these sames resource bundles in a managed bean by utilizing the locale of the UIViewRoot, the correct XLIFF file is retrieved and the translated text is correctly assigned to my components on the form.
Is there some other configuration that I am missing? I was expecting XLIFF files to work similarly to properties files, which do work correctly regardless of whether the text is accessed using value expressions or managed beans.

Ok, I've found the answer.
I've added translatable custom properties on the view implemention
and access these in the code...

Unable to resolve resource bundle "myResources" locale "en_US" ?

Hi All,
                    I have created two locales one is en_US and Second one is fr_FR. I placed these two files in locale file. These files directory structure is
                ......\src\locale\en_US and .....\src\locale\fr_FR . After placing these two files in the project i was compile my application and it is showing just like unable to resolve resource bundle "myResources" locale "en_US"... can any one help me how to configure the resource bundle in my flex application... i dont have exposure to resource bundle earlier. So plese tell me the configurations step by step.. how to configure...
                       My resource property name is myResource.properties .
Thanks
Ram

If you have already followed the correct directory structure. Then please check the following,
1. change the compiler arguments, to "-locale=en_US,fr_FR -source-path=locale/{locale}"
you can find the compiler arguments, by right-clicking over the project name on the flex builder, properties-> flex compiler->compiler options.
2. please check whether both the locale properties files uses the correct encoding. If not change them to "UTF-8"
you can find this, by right-clicking over the properties file on the flex builder, properties->resources->text file encoding

Jstl resource bundle issue

Hi, I am using JSTL resource bundle. It is defined in
web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>
javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext
</param-name>
<param-value>
package.ApplicationResources
</param-value>
</context-param>
My question is that if I have two or more resource
bundle properties such as
ApplicationResourcesBase.properties,
ApplicationResourcesApp.properties, how do I regiester
them in web.xml, and how do I call it in my JSP using
fmt tag?
Thanks,

Same problem...

Resource Bundle being overwritten

Hello,
We are upgrading from jhs 9.03 to jhs 9.0.4.4. A new feature is resource bundles and that is were we are having problems with.
We have two jhs subapplications and I want to use the same resource bundle class for both applications. The problem is that every time I start JAG the class is being overwritten and not append to the existing class.
There is a other project that also uses jhs and has two subapplications. They don't have that problem. There the class is not overwritten every time.
I first tried using JDeveloper 9.0.3.1, but also tried it with JDeveloper 9.0.3.3. Both had this problem.
Does anyone have a idea what this could be? When does JAG decide that the file should be overwritten?
Thanx,
Dennis

Dennis,
The JAG loads the existing COMPILED resource bundle. So, make sure you compile your resource bundle before you run the JAG, and make sure it is on the classpath of your project.
Lastly, make sure you set "Override NLS Resource Bundle Entries" to false in the Application Structure Editor.

Using "{" character in resource bundle.

Hello,
I was to use a "{", "}" characters in resource bundle. The problem is that, when I get the resource value, I use the method: MessageUtils.substituteParams in order to replace parameters like {0}, {1}, ...
Is there a way of escaping the "{", "}" characters with subtitureParams method ? I tried "\{" and it still didn't work.

Please see the java-api docs for your answer:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html
Using "\u2019" only works because it is an alternative quote character, but it is not the same as the standard ascii single quote (')
If you want to include a ' in your format string, then put two next to each other like '' (like Pascal if anyone remembers that ...)
If you want to quote anything else, then use single quotes to surround the quoted text eg. "The message is '{not a param string}'"
