Class AbstractResourceBundleProvider

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ResourceBundleProvider

    public abstract class AbstractResourceBundleProvider
extends Object
implements ResourceBundleProvider
    AbstractResourceBundleProvider is an abstract class that provides the basic support for a provider implementation class for ResourceBundleProvider.

    Resource bundles can be packaged in one or more named modules, bundle modules. The consumer of the resource bundle is the one calling ResourceBundle.getBundle(String). In order for the consumer module to load a resource bundle "com.example.app.MyResources" provided by another module, it will use the service loader mechanism. A service interface named "com.example.app.MyResourcesProvider" must be defined and a bundle provider module will provide an implementation class of "com.example.app.MyResourcesProvider" as follows: 

    
 import com.example.app.MyResourcesProvider;
 class MyResourcesProviderImpl extends AbstractResourceBundleProvider
     implements MyResourcesProvider
 {
     protected String toBundleName(String baseName, Locale locale) {
         // return the bundle name per the naming of the resource bundle
         :
     }

     public ResourceBundle getBundle(String baseName, Locale locale) {
         // this module only provides bundles in french
         if (locale.equals(Locale.FRENCH)) {
              return super.getBundle(baseName, locale);
         }
         return null;
     }
 }

    • Constructor Detail

      • AbstractResourceBundleProvider

        protected AbstractResourceBundleProvider​()
        Constructs an AbstractResourceBundleProvider with the "java.properties" format. This constructor is equivalent to AbstractResourceBundleProvider("java.properties").

      • AbstractResourceBundleProvider

        protected AbstractResourceBundleProvider​(String... formats)
        Constructs an AbstractResourceBundleProvider with the specified formats. The getBundle(String, Locale) method looks up resource bundles for the given formats. formats must be "java.class" or "java.properties".
        Parameters:
        formats - the formats to be used for loading resource bundles
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the given formats is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the given formats is not "java.class" or "java.properties".

    • Method Detail

      • toBundleName

        protected String toBundleName​(String baseName,
                              Locale locale)
        Returns the bundle name for the given baseName and locale that this provider provides.
        API Note:
        A resource bundle provider may package its resource bundles in the same package as the base name of the resource bundle if the package is not split among other named modules. If there are more than one bundle providers providing the resource bundle of a given base name, the resource bundles can be packaged with per-language grouping or per-region grouping to eliminate the split packages.

        For example, if baseName is "p.resources.Bundle" then the resource bundle name of "p.resources.Bundle" of Locale("ja", "", "XX") and Locale("en") could be "p.resources.ja.Bundle_ja_ _XX" and p.resources.Bundle_en" respectively

        This method is called from the default implementation of the getBundle(String, Locale) method.

        Implementation Note:
        The default implementation of this method is the same as the implementation of ResourceBundle.Control.toBundleName(String, Locale).
        Parameters:
        baseName - the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
        locale - the locale for which a resource bundle should be loaded
        Returns:
        the bundle name for the resource bundle

      • getBundle

        public ResourceBundle getBundle​(String baseName,
                                Locale locale)
        Returns a ResourceBundle for the given baseName and locale.
        Specified by:
        getBundle in interface ResourceBundleProvider
        Implementation Note:
        The default implementation of this method calls the toBundleName method to get the bundle name for the baseName and locale and finds the resource bundle of the bundle name local in the module of this provider. It will only search the formats specified when this provider was constructed.
        Parameters:
        baseName - the base bundle name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name.
        locale - the locale for which the resource bundle should be instantiated
        Returns:
        ResourceBundle of the given baseName and locale, or null if no resource bundle is found
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if baseName or locale is null
        UncheckedIOException - if any IO exception occurred during resource bundle loading
