Problem with System.getProperty()

[manasd]

Hi,
I have a Java program on a Windows XP machine configured with the
following settings
Regional Option: Chinese PRC
Language: Chinese PRC.

My Java program uses the following call: countryCode =
System.getProperty("user.region"); However the value of countryCode is
null instead of "CN". I am using JDK/JRE 1.4.2. Is this is a bug or is
there anything wrong with my setup?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
-Manas

Where are you getting that property name? I see a lot of Google results
from people who both expect and see it set, but it's not specified in
the API specification. If indeed it is set, this would be unspecified
behavior.

Try java.util.Locale.getDefault() instead.

import java.util.*;
Locale local = Locale.getDefault( );
System.out.println( l.getCountry( ) );

import java.util.*;
Locale local = Locale.getDefault( );
System.out.println( l.getCountry( ) );

I think you meant this...
System.out.println( local.getCountry( ) );
