Initialising ResourceBundles in different dir:

[t12be]

Need help,

Is it possible to initialise a ResourceBundle from another dir?
In the example beneath this file has to be within the same dir of the
source files. I would like to seperate them, how?

ResourceBundle lang = ResourceBundle.getBundle("langBundle",new
Locale("en","US"));

I looked through the API and didn't find anything.

You can pass in a ClassLoader to the getBundle() method. This ClassLoader
will determine where ResourceBundle will search for the bundle.
URLClassLoader will best serve your needs.

First of all thanks of the answer. Only I didn't get out of it. Looked
op how the URLCLassloader works but couldn't get it working. Maybe you
can help me on?

Have the following situation:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ResourceBundle lang = ResourceBundle.getBundle("langBundle",new
Locale("en","US"));

And the 'langBundle' files are in this dir (relative from src dir)
"../props/"
So I tried the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
URL[] urls = new URL[1];
urls[0] = new URL("../props/");
ResourceBundle lang = ResourceBundle.getBundle("langBundle",new
Locale("en","US"), new URLClassLoader(urls));

Wich didn't work. Has it something to do with the relative url?? Read
something like using relative urls like the need to get a base for the
url by code like this: NameOfClass.class.getResource("")

thx

What URL? "../props/" is a path, not an URL. You have to prepend it
with "file:", maybe add some slashes.
