i18n locales without classpath in my java app

[mwk]

I want to use locale, i18n for reports.

 

All files are in the same rep : file.jrxml and files file.properties, file_en_US.properties, etc.

 

I've created and tested in iReport: works well

 

I need to use it in a J2EE app and my question is :

 

why it's necessary to put dir in classpath? is there an other way to keep all file in the same dir and give a parameter to tell where are located *.properties without adding this rep to classpath? how does it work?

 

I've several different dirs (1 per report) and i can't dynamically add every path to classpath.

 

Thank you for your advice!

Hi,

 

You could load the ResourceBundle yourself from whatever location you want, prior to passing it as the value for the REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE built-in parameter at report fill time.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

I've seen this parameter, but now I think my problem is a Java programming problem. I don't know how ResourceBundle finds files .properties :

 

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name reportsample1, locale fr_FR

at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:804)

at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:773)

at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:538)

 

I don't know where to declare the dir where is located my file reportsample1.properties (eg /base/rapports/reportsample1.properties)
