Properties files in Applet

[Willy Johnsson]

Hello,

I would to my Applet support couple of dirrerent languages.
I tested standard porperties file that were included in applet's jar file
but didn't get it work.

Is it possible to package properties files to applet jar?
If yes how to call them?

Cheers!

Sure.

Something like:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getRessourceAsStream("path in jar");

PS: Shouldn't you use the special form of properties files known
as message bundles for this ?

Web start can deliver resources to applets and applications
according the the local PC and its settings (language etc.).

URL propertyLocation = this.
getClass().getResource("/path/to/app.properties");
System.out.println("propertyLocation: " + propertyLocation);
InputStream propertyStream = propertyLocation.openStream();

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/resource.html

For an example of use, see the holiday calculator which loads a text
list of holidays it supports or the In words calculator which loads a
list of languages it supports.

See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HOLIDAYS
http://mindprod.com/products1.html#INWORDS

For customising an app to a particular language see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/internationalisation.html
and chase the links.

Sun has special tools for customising a big app to different locales
and automatically selecting the correct customisations.

'locales' (slaps forehead) I should have thought to mention
that as a 'search term' - also 'internationalization'.
But then.. I am guessing the mindprod pages mention most
of the key terms, and have plenty of links back to relevant
resources.
