Component
|
| ResX is a ResourceBundle implementation which makes use of a database connection |
|
|
Full description
|
This is by far the smallest component I made and does one simple thing: It overwrites java.util.ResourceBundle
to get the internationalistation information from a datasource instead of a properties file or class. Having written
java applications that extensively used a database, I did not find it very helpfull getting my resources from another source.
It supprised me that there is hardly any performance loss noticable getting resources from the database
The implementation stays pretty close to the ResourceBundle implementation and will check first for
other types like java.util.ListResourceBundle and java.util.PropertyResourceBundle
before checking for the database. Unfortunatly the getBundle() methods in ResourceBundle are final and cannot be reimplemented.
Therefor new methods where implemented getExtBundle(String) and getExtBundle(String,Locale) to get the information from the database

Note: If you want to make a quick start download the .zip or .tar.gz file.
Next to the sources it also includes a compiled jar and possible dependencies. The jar-binary file listed above
does not contain possible dependencies for this component or application and
you are required to download them yourself.

Using ResX
|
How to use
|
|
The use of ResX is simple: create the LOCALIZED_RESOURCE table
from the scripts directory (there is a script for oracle there and an ANSI-script).
In your code add the appropriate JDBC connection information:
System.setProperty("sql.driver","oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.setProperty("sql.url", "jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:database");
System.setProperty("sql.user","SCOTT");
System.setProperty("sql.password","TIGER");
You can also use a properties-file called connection.properties in the directory you start your application from
which contains the properties as described above
You can now load the resource bundle by simply calling:
ResourceBundle rb = ExtResourceBundle.getExtBundle("bundleName")
As you can see getExtBundle() methods return a normal ResourceBundle which can be used
as any other resource bundle
