getBundle()

[keepa]

I am trying to load some resources but it is failing with a
MissingResourceException.

First, I have defined my resources as such:

public class AssyrianResources_at extends ListResourceBundle
{
// resoruces here
}

then I attempt to load it like this:

Locale locale = new Locale("at");
ResourceBundle getBundle("AssyrianResources", locale);

But this fails with a MissingResourceException.

Any ideas? It seems it cannot find my resource class. It is in the same
directory as all of my other class files.

On a related note, when I attempt to format a date with the above
locale ("at"), it fails ( I get the default American locale). The code
looks like this:

Locale locale = new Locale("at");
GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
String format = "a format string";
String result = String.format(locale, format, cal);

This gives me an English formatted date, not an Assyrian formatted
date. I assume it is related to the above, where it cannot find the
resource bundle.

The ResourceBundle scheme typically wants the base class to exist too.
So you should start with Resources, then create Resources_at, etc. Then
you can load the "at" resources like this:

Locale locale = new Locale("at");
ResourceBundle resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Resources", locale);

Any ideas? It seems it cannot find my resource class. It is in the same
directory as all of my other class files.

You should use the full package name of the resource file. So, if you
are creating "com.keepa.Resources" and "com.keepa.Resources_at", you
should load using this:

ResourceBundle resources =
ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.keepa.Resources", locale);

On a related note, when I attempt to format a date with the above

looks like this:

Have you checked whether DateFormat supports the "at" locale? Find out
using DateFormat.getAvailableLocales().
