language propertis to xml properties

[bostian tov]

Now i am using plain text language properties, but have some more complex stuff and want to start using xml.

Settings:

 
	<application>
		<resource-bundle>
			<base-name>language.lng</base-name>
			<var>lng</var>
		</resource-bundle>
		<message-bundle>language.lng</message-bundle>
		<locale-config>
			<default-locale>en_US</default-locale>
			<supported-locale>sl_SI</supported-locale>
		</locale-config>
	</application>

Call from jsf:

  <h:outputText value="#{lng.subscription}" />  

Example:

subscription=Subscription

So how can i use xml file instead text file and what do i have to change? Thanks

In java 1.6 you can use xml for properties files but the format is quite ugly. Here is an example of this.

How can you access xml properties file from JFS(jsp) page? Now i am just refering to #{lng.someValue}

[Adrian Mitev]

The same way as .properties files.

My code:

  
	ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("lng", new ResourceBundle.Control() {
		public List<String> getFormats(String baseName) {
			if (baseName == null)
				throw new NullPointerException();
			return Arrays.asList("xml");
		}

		public ResourceBundle newBundle(String baseName, Locale locale, String format, ClassLoader loader, boolean reload)
				throws IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException, IOException {
			if (baseName == null || locale == null || format == null || loader == null)
				throw new NullPointerException();
			ResourceBundle bundle = null;
			if (format.equals("xml")) {
				String bundleName = toBundleName(baseName, locale);
				String resourceName = toResourceName("language/"+bundleName, format);
				InputStream stream = null;
				if (reload) {
					URL url = loader.getResource(resourceName);
					if (url != null) {
						URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
						if (connection != null) {
							// Disable caches to get fresh data for
							// reloading.
							connection.setUseCaches(false);
							stream = connection.getInputStream();
						}
					}
				} else {
					stream = loader.getResourceAsStream(resourceName);
				}
				if (stream != null) {
					BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(stream);
					bundle = new XMLResourceBundle(bis, locale.getLanguage()+"_"+ locale.getCountry());
					bis.close();
				}
			}
			return bundle;
		}

	});
  

So on startup data for locale sl_SI is beeing loaded. So do i need to have this code or should i change it somehow to get this working?

<application>  
         <resource-bundle>  
             <base-name>language.lng</base-name>  
             <var>lng</var>  
         </resource-bundle>  
         <message-bundle>language.lng</message-bundle>  
         <locale-config>  
             <default-locale>sl_SI</default-locale>  
         </locale-config>  
 </application>
