Class UResourceBundle

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    ICUResourceBundle, ResourceBundleWrapper

    public abstract class UResourceBundle
    extends java.util.ResourceBundle
    A class representing a collection of resource information pertaining to a given locale. A resource bundle provides a way of accessing locale- specific information in a data file. You create a resource bundle that manages the resources for a given locale and then ask it for individual resources.

    In ResourceBundle class, an object is created and the sub items are fetched using getString, getObject methods. In UResourceBundle,each individual element of a resource is a resource by itself.

    Resource bundles in ICU are currently defined using text files which conform to the following BNF definition. More on resource bundle concepts and syntax can be found in the Users Guide.

    The packaging of ICU *.res files can be of two types ICU4C:

           root.res
             |
          --------
         |        |
       fr.res  en.res
         |
       --------
      |        |
     fr_CA.res fr_FR.res
     
    JAVA/JDK:
        LocaleElements.res
             |
          -------------------
         |                   |
     LocaleElements_fr.res  LocaleElements_en.res
         |
       ---------------------------
      |                            |
     LocaleElements_fr_CA.res   LocaleElements_fr_FR.res
     
    Depending on the organization of your resources, the syntax to getBundleInstance will change. To open ICU style organization use:
          UResourceBundle bundle = UResourceBundle.getBundleInstance("com/mycompany/resources", "en_US", myClassLoader);
     
    To open Java/JDK style organization use:
          UResourceBundle bundle = UResourceBundle.getBundleInstance("com.mycompany.resources.LocaleElements", "en_US", myClassLoader);
     
    Please use pass a class loader for loading non-ICU resources. Java security does not allow loading of resources across jar files. You must provide your class loader to load the resources
