Internationalization Features in JDK 6.0
« More TextAmerica API entries | Main | From Russia With Buzz Superfan »via World Views, JDK 6.0 Internationalization Features
A new article about features under development for JDK 6.0 has a section on internationalization features. The big theme is opening up the architecture of the internationalization frameworks – enabling different implementations of resource bundles as well as the provision of locale data for locales that Sun doesn’t know enough about. The long awaited normalization API and a Japanese calendar round out the feature set.
I do like the thought of a provider-based approach for loading resource bundles although I have not yet run into a situation where I needed to have a different bundle lookup process or have to worry about caching of resources. The ability to manipulate the caching of resources would be useful, especially on the server-side. At the very least, for example, it would enable updating of resources for already deployed web applications.
