com.tonbeller.tbutils.res
Class ResourcesFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.tonbeller.tbutils.res.ResourcesFactory

public class ResourcesFactory

extends java.lang.Object

creates and caches Resources.

The factory is configured via four variables that are looked up in

1. in JNDI java:/comp/env context
2. resfactory.properties in root classpath
3. System.getProperty()

in that order. This may be overridden by defining a java system property tbeller.initialResourceProvider, for example -Dtbeller.initialResourceProvider=com.tonbeller.tbutils.res.SystemResourceProvider will look up the initial variables in System properties only. This is meant for testing outside the web environment.

tbeller.locale

A string either 2 characters (e.g. "en") or 5 chars (e.g. "en_US"). If present, the application will not care about the browsers locale but use this locale instead.

tbeller.home

A directory that contains configuration files that have been modified by the customer and other resources. If not set the default is ${user.home}/.tbeller

tbeller.properties

whitespace separated list of property file names, relative to TBELLER_HOME. These files will be loaded via the file system. Should be defined in web.xml

tbeller.bundles

a whitespace separated list of ResourceBundle names that will be loaded via ResourceBundle.getBundle. Should be defined in web.xml
