cal10n and osgi

just thinking about the use of cal10n in OSGI environment 1. some bundles with enumerations and also l10n resourcebundles 2. other bundles need localized enum literals - I want to provide this thru a service from inside Enum bundles 1. has dependency to ICAL10N, but ICAL10N also needs to know the bundles containing the enum, because ICAL10N tries to find the ResourceBundle from classpath but I dont like to use Dynamic-Import *, and also want to avoid Eclipse Buddy policy -- how to solve the dependency from ICAL10N to all these bundles containing resourceBundle .properties files ? I looked into source of MessageConveyor and have seen that I need a different cache and lookup implementation so it seems that the only way is to write a new implementation - soething like MessageConveyorOSGI implementing IMessageConveyor or do you have another idea ? ekke -- ekke (ekkehard gentz) independent software-architect senior erp-consultant eclipse | osgi | equinox | mdsd | oaw | emf | uml max-josefs-platz 30, D-83022 rosenheim, germany mailto:ekke@ekkes-corner.org homepage (de): http://gentz-software.de blog (en): http://ekkes-corner.org twitter: @ekkescorner skype: ekkes-corner Steuer-Nr: 156/220/30931 FA Rosenheim, UST-ID: DE189929490

Undeclared locales?
by Ceki Gulcu 29 Oct '09

Simon Brandhof asks: Is it possible to discover bundles at runtime in cal10n ? I can't list all the available locales of LocaleData at compile time. Thanks Answer: Yes, as long as you don't expect automatic verification, @LocaleData information is entirely optional. The default implementation of IMessageConveyor, namely MessageConveyor, will discover bundles for any locale. For example, here is a mininal enum: @BaseName("minimal") public enum Minimal { A; } Assuming the file "minimal_de.properties" exists on your class path, and contains: A=etwas auf deutch the following code will return work: MessageConveyor mc = new MessageConveyor(Locale.GERMAN); assertEquals("etwas auf deutch", mc.getMessage(Minimal.A)); However, the encoding for minimal_de.properties will be assumed to be the system's default encoding. You can also have a mixed approach, where you specify some encodings and not others. @BaseName("minimal") @LocaleData( defaultCharset="UTF8", value = { @Locale("en_UK"), @Locale("fr_FR") } ) public enum Minimal { A; } In the above example, tooling which comes with CAL10N will verify the consistency for en_UK and fr_FR. The default encoding will be "UTF8" for all bundles, including the bundle "minimal_de.properties" for German (which remains undeclared). You could also mix default encoding, bundle specific encoding and undeclared bundles. For example, @BaseName("minimal") @LocaleData( defaultCharset="UTF8", value = { @Locale("en_UK"), @Locale("fr_FR"), @Locale(value="tr_TR", charset="ISO8859_3") } ) public enum Minimal { A; } In the above example, tooling which comes with CAL10N will verify the consistency for en_UK, fr_FR and tr_TR. The default encoding will be "UTF8" for all bundles, including the bundle "minimal_de.properties" for German (which remains undeclared) but excluding "minimal_tr_TR.properties" (Turkish) which will be encoded in ISO8859_3 (Turkish).

Message parsing
by Paul Mendelson 16 Sep '09

I am interested in using cal10n for some input translation. If I have a free form input field where the user enters color and I know the user's local I would like to utilize a cal10n service to parse the enum from the user input. Is that compatable with the direction of this toolset?

Lost internet connectivity
by Ceki Gulcu 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hello all, There was a wiring problem in our building (qos.ch) where cal10n, logback and slf4j projects are hosted. As consequence, our various web-sites were unreachable for about 12 hours. The issue was fixed just a few minutes ago with the help of our internet provider. We are currently working on duplicating parts of our infrastructure so that such connectivity problems if they re-occur, will have much less of an impact. My apologies for the inconvenience. -- Ceki Gülcü Logback: The reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging framework for Java. http://logback.qos.ch
