Class ResourceBundle

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    ListResourceBundle, PropertyResourceBundle

    public abstract class ResourceBundle
extends Object
    Resource bundles contain locale-specific objects. When your program needs a locale-specific resource, a String for example, your program can load it from the resource bundle that is appropriate for the current user's locale. In this way, you can write program code that is largely independent of the user's locale isolating most, if not all, of the locale-specific information in resource bundles.

    This allows you to write programs that can:

    • be easily localized, or translated, into different languages
    • handle multiple locales at once
    • be easily modified later to support even more locales

    Resource bundles belong to families whose members share a common base name, but whose names also have additional components that identify their locales. For example, the base name of a family of resource bundles might be "MyResources". The family should have a default resource bundle which simply has the same name as its family - "MyResources" - and will be used as the bundle of last resort if a specific locale is not supported. The family can then provide as many locale-specific members as needed, for example a German one named "MyResources_de".

    Each resource bundle in a family contains the same items, but the items have been translated for the locale represented by that resource bundle. For example, both "MyResources" and "MyResources_de" may have a String that's used on a button for canceling operations. In "MyResources" the String may contain "Cancel" and in "MyResources_de" it may contain "Abbrechen".

    If there are different resources for different countries, you can make specializations: for example, "MyResources_de_CH" contains objects for the German language (de) in Switzerland (CH). If you want to only modify some of the resources in the specialization, you can do so.

    When your program needs a locale-specific object, it loads the ResourceBundle class using the getBundle method: 

     ResourceBundle myResources =
      ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyResources", currentLocale);

    Resource bundles contain key/value pairs. The keys uniquely identify a locale-specific object in the bundle. Here's an example of a ListResourceBundle that contains two key/value pairs: 

     public class MyResources extends ListResourceBundle {
     protected Object[][] getContents() {
         return new Object[][] {
             // LOCALIZE THE SECOND STRING OF EACH ARRAY (e.g., "OK")
             {"OkKey", "OK"},
             {"CancelKey", "Cancel"},
             // END OF MATERIAL TO LOCALIZE
        };
     }
 }
    Keys are always Strings. In this example, the keys are "OkKey" and "CancelKey". In the above example, the values are also Strings--"OK" and "Cancel"--but they don't have to be. The values can be any type of object.

    You retrieve an object from resource bundle using the appropriate getter method. Because "OkKey" and "CancelKey" are both strings, you would use getString to retrieve them: 

     button1 = new Button(myResources.getString("OkKey"));
 button2 = new Button(myResources.getString("CancelKey"));
    The getter methods all require the key as an argument and return the object if found. If the object is not found, the getter method throws a MissingResourceException.

    Besides getString, ResourceBundle also provides a method for getting string arrays, getStringArray, as well as a generic getObject method for any other type of object. When using getObject, you'll have to cast the result to the appropriate type. For example: 

     int[] myIntegers = (int[]) myResources.getObject("intList");

    The Java Platform provides two subclasses of ResourceBundle, ListResourceBundle and PropertyResourceBundle, that provide a fairly simple way to create resources. As you saw briefly in a previous example, ListResourceBundle manages its resource as a list of key/value pairs. PropertyResourceBundle uses a properties file to manage its resources.

    If ListResourceBundle or PropertyResourceBundle do not suit your needs, you can write your own ResourceBundle subclass. Your subclasses must override two methods: handleGetObject and getKeys().

    ResourceBundle.Control

    The ResourceBundle.Control class provides information necessary to perform the bundle loading process by the getBundle factory methods that take a ResourceBundle.Control instance. You can implement your own subclass in order to enable non-standard resource bundle formats, change the search strategy, or define caching parameters. Refer to the descriptions of the class and the getBundle factory method for details.

    Cache Management

    Resource bundle instances created by the getBundle factory methods are cached by default, and the factory methods return the same resource bundle instance multiple times if it has been cached. getBundle clients may clear the cache, manage the lifetime of cached resource bundle instances using time-to-live values, or specify not to cache resource bundle instances. Refer to the descriptions of the getBundle factory method, clearCache, ResourceBundle.Control.getTimeToLive, and ResourceBundle.Control.needsReload for details.

    Example

    The following is a very simple example of a ResourceBundle subclass, MyResources, that manages two resources (for a larger number of resources you would probably use a Map). Notice that you don't need to supply a value if a "parent-level" ResourceBundle handles the same key with the same value (as for the okKey below). 
     // default (English language, United States)
 public class MyResources extends ResourceBundle {
     public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
         if (key.equals("okKey")) return "Ok";
         if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Cancel";
         return null;
     }

     public Enumeration<String> getKeys() {
         return Collections.enumeration(keySet());
     }

     // Overrides handleKeySet() so that the getKeys() implementation
     // can rely on the keySet() value.
     protected Set<String> handleKeySet() {
         return new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("okKey", "cancelKey"));
     }
 }

 // German language
 public class MyResources_de extends MyResources {
     public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
         // don't need okKey, since parent level handles it.
         if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Abbrechen";
         return null;
     }

     protected Set<String> handleKeySet() {
         return new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("cancelKey"));
     }
 }
    You do not have to restrict yourself to using a single family of ResourceBundles. For example, you could have a set of bundles for exception messages, ExceptionResources (ExceptionResources_fr, ExceptionResources_de, ...), and one for widgets, WidgetResource (WidgetResources_fr, WidgetResources_de, ...); breaking up the resources however you like.

        the string for the given key
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if key is null
        MissingResourceException - if no object for the given key can be found
        ClassCastException - if the object found for the given key is not a string

      • getStringArray

        public final String[] getStringArray(String key)
        Gets a string array for the given key from this resource bundle or one of its parents. Calling this method is equivalent to calling
        (String[]) getObject(key).
        Parameters:

      • getObject

        public final Object getObject(String key)
        Gets an object for the given key from this resource bundle or one of its parents. This method first tries to obtain the object from this resource bundle using handleGetObject. If not successful, and the parent resource bundle is not null, it calls the parent's getObject method. If still not successful, it throws a MissingResourceException.
        Parameters:
        key - the key for the desired object
        Returns:
        the object for the given key
        Throws:

        MissingResourceException - if no object for the given key can be found

      • getLocale

        public Locale getLocale()
        Returns the locale of this resource bundle. This method can be used after a call to getBundle() to determine whether the resource bundle returned really corresponds to the requested locale or is a fallback.
        Returns:
        the locale of this resource bundle

      • setParent

        protected void setParent(ResourceBundle parent)
        Sets the parent bundle of this bundle. The parent bundle is searched by getObject when this bundle does not contain a particular resource.

        getBundle(baseName, Locale.getDefault(), this.getClass().getClassLoader()),
        except that getClassLoader() is run with the security privileges of ResourceBundle. See getBundle for a complete description of the search and instantiation strategy.
        Parameters:
        baseName - the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
        Returns:

        Returns a resource bundle using the specified base name, target locale and control, and the caller's class loader. Calling this method is equivalent to calling 
         getBundle(baseName, targetLocale, this.getClass().getClassLoader(),
           control),
        except that getClassLoader() is run with the security privileges of ResourceBundle. See getBundle for the complete description of the resource bundle loading process with a ResourceBundle.Control.

        Since:
        1.6

      • getBundle

        public static ResourceBundle getBundle(String baseName,
                       Locale targetLocale,
                       ClassLoader loader,
                       ResourceBundle.Control control)
        Returns a resource bundle using the specified base name, target locale, class loader and control. Unlike the getBundle factory methods with no control argument, the given control specifies how to locate and instantiate resource bundles. Conceptually, the bundle loading process with the given control is performed in the following steps.

        1. This factory method looks up the resource bundle in the cache for the specified baseName, targetLocale and loader. If the requested resource bundle instance is found in the cache and the time-to-live periods of the instance and all of its parent instances have not expired, the instance is returned to the caller. Otherwise, this factory method proceeds with the loading process below.
        2. The control.getFormats method is called to get resource bundle formats to produce bundle or resource names. The strings "java.class" and "java.properties" designate class-based and property-based resource bundles, respectively. Other strings starting with "java." are reserved for future extensions and must not be used for application-defined formats. Other strings designate application-defined formats.
        3. The control.getCandidateLocales method is called with the target locale to get a list of candidate Locales for which resource bundles are searched.
        4. The control.newBundle method is called to instantiate a ResourceBundle for the base bundle name, a candidate locale, and a format. (Refer to the note on the cache lookup below.) This step is iterated over all combinations of the candidate locales and formats until the newBundle method returns a ResourceBundle instance or the iteration has used up all the combinations. For example, if the candidate locales are Locale("de", "DE"), Locale("de") and Locale("") and the formats are "java.class" and "java.properties", then the following is the sequence of locale-format combinations to be used to call control.newBundle.
          Locale
          		 format
          Locale("de", "DE")
          		 java.class
          Locale("de", "DE") java.properties
          Locale("de") java.class
          Locale("de") java.properties
          Locale("")
          		 java.class
          Locale("") java.properties

          Eerste pagina van API Java Inhoudsopgave Haut

        5. If the previous step has found no resource bundle, proceed to Step 6. If a bundle has been found that is a base bundle (a bundle for Locale("")), and the candidate locale list only contained Locale(""), return the bundle to the caller. If a bundle has been found that is a base bundle, but the candidate locale list contained locales other than Locale(""), put the bundle on hold and proceed to Step 6. If a bundle has been found that is not a base bundle, proceed to Step 7.
        6. The control.getFallbackLocale method is called to get a fallback locale (alternative to the current target locale) to try further finding a resource bundle. If the method returns a non-null locale, it becomes the next target locale and the loading process starts over from Step 3. Otherwise, if a base bundle was found and put on hold in a previous Step 5, it is returned to the caller now. Otherwise, a MissingResourceException is thrown.
        7. At this point, we have found a resource bundle that's not the base bundle. If this bundle set its parent during its instantiation, it is returned to the caller. Otherwise, its parent chain is instantiated based on the list of candidate locales from which it was found. Finally, the bundle is returned to the caller.

        During the resource bundle loading process above, this factory method looks up the cache before calling the control.newBundle method. If the time-to-live period of the resource bundle found in the cache has expired, the factory method calls the control.needsReload method to determine whether the resource bundle needs to be reloaded. If reloading is required, the factory method calls control.newBundle to reload the resource bundle. If control.newBundle returns null, the factory method puts a dummy resource bundle in the cache as a mark of nonexistent resource bundles in order to avoid lookup overhead for subsequent requests. Such dummy resource bundles are under the same expiration control as specified by control.

        All resource bundles loaded are cached by default. Refer to control.getTimeToLive for details.

        The following is an example of the bundle loading process with the default ResourceBundle.Control implementation.

        Conditions:

        • Base bundle name: foo.bar.Messages
        • Requested Locale: Locale.ITALY
        • Default Locale: Locale.FRENCH
        • Available resource bundles: foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties and foo/bar/Messages.properties

        First, getBundle tries loading a resource bundle in the following sequence.

        • class foo.bar.Messages_it_IT
        • file foo/bar/Messages_it_IT.properties
        • class foo.bar.Messages_it
        • file foo/bar/Messages_it.properties
        • class foo.bar.Messages
        • file foo/bar/Messages.properties

        At this point, getBundle finds foo/bar/Messages.properties, which is put on hold because it's the base bundle. getBundle calls control.getFallbackLocale("foo.bar.Messages", Locale.ITALY) which returns Locale.FRENCH. Next, getBundle tries loading a bundle in the following sequence.

        • class foo.bar.Messages_fr
        • file foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties
        • class foo.bar.Messages
        • file foo/bar/Messages.properties

        getBundle finds foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties and creates a ResourceBundle instance. Then, getBundle sets up its parent chain from the list of the candiate locales. Only foo/bar/Messages.properties is found in the list and getBundle creates a ResourceBundle instance that becomes the parent of the instance for foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties.

        Parameters:
        baseName - the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
        targetLocale - the locale for which a resource bundle is desired
        loader - the class loader from which to load the resource bundle
        control - the control which gives information for the resource bundle loading process
        Returns:
        a resource bundle for the given base name and locale
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if baseName, targetLocale, loader, or control is null
        MissingResourceException - if no resource bundle for the specified base name can be found
        IllegalArgumentException - if the given control doesn't perform properly (e.g., control.getCandidateLocales returns null.) Note that validation of control is performed as needed.
        Since:
        1.6

      • handleGetObject

        protected abstract Object handleGetObject(String key)
        Gets an object for the given key from this resource bundle. Returns null if this resource bundle does not contain an object for the given key.
        Parameters:
        key - the key for the desired object
        Returns:
        the object for the given key, or null
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if key is null

      • getKeys

        public abstract Enumeration<String> getKeys()
        Returns an enumeration of the keys.
        Returns:
        an Enumeration of the keys contained in this ResourceBundle and its parent bundles.

      • containsKey

        public boolean containsKey(String key)
        Determines whether the given key is contained in this ResourceBundle or its parent bundles.
        Parameters:
        key - the resource key
        Returns:
        true if the given key is contained in this ResourceBundle or its parent bundles; false otherwise.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if key is null
        Since:
        1.6

      • keySet

        public Set<String> keySet()
        Returns a Set of all keys contained in this ResourceBundle and its parent bundles.
        Returns:
        a Set of all keys contained in this ResourceBundle and its parent bundles.
        Since:
        1.6

      • handleKeySet

        protected Set<String> handleKeySet()
        Returns a Set of the keys contained only in this ResourceBundle.

        The default implementation returns a Set of the keys returned by the getKeys method except for the ones for which the handleGetObject method returns null. Once the Set has been created, the value is kept in this ResourceBundle in order to avoid producing the same Set in subsequent calls. Subclasses can override this method for faster handling.

        Returns:
        a Set of the keys contained only in this ResourceBundle
        Since:
        1.6
