More than one ResourceBundle Object possible?

2006-01-18 00:58

Hi,

 

I need to know if there's a way to pass 2 ResourceBundle objects (one for the set locale and the other as default) to a report. I'd like to have the same behaviour as in a normal java i18n application using property files, i.e. if there's a $R{key} field where the value for _key_ is not set in the ResourceBundle object for the locale set, I'd like to have the value from the default ResourceBundle object for _key_. Any opinions?

Hi

 

I don't see any reason the defaults mechanism would not work in JR. How are you setting the resource bundle?

Hi,

 

I pass my ResourceBundle object as parameter in the report parameters map:

 

map.put(JRParameter.REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE, myBundle);

map.put(JRParameter.REPORT_LOCALE, actualLocale);

Try to call myBundle.getString(key) before you fill the report and see whether it fetches the value from the default bundle if the key is not present in the locale bundle.

OK, didn't work that way. Looks like I have to rely on complete resource data.

I think you should investigate the reason it doesn't work.

 

Anyway, if you need it, you can easily use two resource bundles in a report by creating another ResourceBundle parameter and writing a method in the report scriptlet that checks both bundles and call this method instead of $R{..} (or send a parameter value that wraps the two resource bundles and has also the logic).
