Resource bundles contain locale-specific objects. When your program needs a locale-specific resource, a String for example, your program can load it from the resource bundle that is appropriate for the current user's locale. In this way, you can write program code that is largely independent of the user's locale isolating most, if not all, of the locale-specific information in resource bundles.

This allows you to write programs that can:

  • be easily localized, or translated, into different languages
  • handle multiple locales at once
  • be easily modified later to support even more locales

Resource bundles belong to families whose members share a common base name, but whose names also have additional components that identify their locales. For example, the base name of a family of resource bundles might be "MyResources". The family should have a default resource bundle which simply has the same name as its family - "MyResources" - and will be used as the bundle of last resort if a specific locale is not supported. The family can then provide as many locale-specific members as needed, for example a German one named "MyResources_de".

Each resource bundle in a family contains the same items, but the items have been translated for the locale represented by that resource bundle. For example, both "MyResources" and "MyResources_de" may have a String that's used on a button for canceling operations. In "MyResources" the String may contain "Cancel" and in "MyResources_de" it may contain "Abbrechen".

If there are different resources for different countries, you can make specializations: for example, "MyResources_de_CH" contains objects for the German language (de) in Switzerland (CH). If you want to only modify some of the resources in the specialization, you can do so.

When your program needs a locale-specific object, it loads the ResourceBundle class using the getBundle method:

ResourceBundle myResources =
     ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyResources", currentLocale);

Resource bundles contain key/value pairs. The keys uniquely identify a locale-specific object in the bundle. Here's an example of a ListResourceBundle that contains two key/value pairs:

public class MyResources extends ListResourceBundle {
    protected Object[][] getContents() {
        return new Object[][] {
            // LOCALIZE THE SECOND STRING OF EACH ARRAY (e.g., "OK")
            {"OkKey", "OK"},
            {"CancelKey", "Cancel"},
            // END OF MATERIAL TO LOCALIZE
       };
    }
}
Keys are always Strings. In this example, the keys are "OkKey" and "CancelKey". In the above example, the values are also Strings--"OK" and "Cancel"--but they don't have to be. The values can be any type of object.

You retrieve an object from resource bundle using the appropriate getter method. Because "OkKey" and "CancelKey" are both strings, you would use getString to retrieve them:

button1 = new Button(myResources.getString("OkKey"));
button2 = new Button(myResources.getString("CancelKey"));
The getter methods all require the key as an argument and return the object if found. If the object is not found, the getter method throws a MissingResourceException.

Besides getString, ResourceBundle also provides a method for getting string arrays, getStringArray, as well as a generic getObject method for any other type of object. When using getObject, you'll have to cast the result to the appropriate type. For example:

int[] myIntegers = (int[]) myResources.getObject("intList");

The Java Platform provides two subclasses of ResourceBundle, ListResourceBundle and PropertyResourceBundle, that provide a fairly simple way to create resources. As you saw briefly in a previous example, ListResourceBundle manages its resource as a list of key/value pairs. PropertyResourceBundle uses a properties file to manage its resources.

If ListResourceBundle or PropertyResourceBundle do not suit your needs, you can write your own ResourceBundle subclass. Your subclasses must override two methods: handleGetObject and getKeys().

The implementation of a ResourceBundle subclass must be thread-safe if it's simultaneously used by multiple threads. The default implementations of the non-abstract methods in this class, and the methods in the direct known concrete subclasses ListResourceBundle and PropertyResourceBundle are thread-safe.

Resource Bundles and Named Modules

Resource bundles can be deployed in modules in the following ways:

Resource bundles together with an application

Resource bundles can be deployed together with an application in the same module. In that case, the resource bundles are loaded by code in the module by calling the getBundle(String) or getBundle(String, Locale) method.

Resource bundles as service providers

Resource bundles can be deployed in one or more service provider modules and they can be located using ServiceLoader. A service interface or class must be defined. The caller module declares that it uses the service, the service provider modules declare that they provide implementations of the service. Refer to ResourceBundleProvider for developing resource bundle services and deploying resource bundle providers. The module obtaining the resource bundle can be a resource bundle provider itself; in which case this module only locates the resource bundle via service provider mechanism.

A resource bundle provider can provide resource bundles in any format such XML which replaces the need of ResourceBundle.Control.

Resource bundles in other modules and class path

Resource bundles in a named module may be encapsulated so that it cannot be located by code in other modules. Resource bundles in unnamed modules and class path are open for any module to access. Resource bundle follows the resource encapsulation rules as specified in Module.getResourceAsStream(String).

The getBundle factory methods with no Control parameter locate and load resource bundles from service providers. It may continue the search as if calling Module.getResourceAsStream(String) to find the named resource from a given module and calling ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String); refer to the specification of the getBundle method for details. Only non-encapsulated resource bundles of "java.class" or "java.properties" format are searched.

If the caller module is a resource bundle provider, it does not fall back to the class loader search.

Resource bundles in automatic modules

A common format of resource bundles is in properties file format. Typically .properties resource bundles are packaged in a JAR file. Resource bundle only JAR file can be readily deployed as an automatic module. For example, if the JAR file contains the entry "p/q/Foo_ja.properties" and no .class entry, when resolved and defined as an automatic module, no package is derived for this module. This allows resource bundles in .properties format packaged in one or more JAR files that may contain entries in the same directory and can be resolved successfully as automatic modules.

ResourceBundle.Control

The Control class provides information necessary to perform the bundle loading process by the getBundle factory methods that take a ResourceBundle.Control instance. You can implement your own subclass in order to enable non-standard resource bundle formats, change the search strategy, or define caching parameters. Refer to the descriptions of the class and the getBundle factory method for details.

Control is designed for an application deployed in an unnamed module, for example to support resource bundles in non-standard formats or package localized resources in a non-traditional convention. ResourceBundleProvider is the replacement for ResourceBundle.Control when migrating to modules. UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown when a factory method that takes the ResourceBundle.Control parameter is called.

For the getBundle factory methods that take no Control instance, their default behavior of resource bundle loading can be modified with custom ResourceBundleControlProvider implementations. If any of the providers provides a Control for the given base name, that Control will be used instead of the default Control. If there is more than one service provider for supporting the same base name, the first one returned from ServiceLoader will be used. A custom Control implementation is ignored by named modules.

Cache Management

Resource bundle instances created by the getBundle factory methods are cached by default, and the factory methods return the same resource bundle instance multiple times if it has been cached. getBundle clients may clear the cache, manage the lifetime of cached resource bundle instances using time-to-live values, or specify not to cache resource bundle instances. Refer to the descriptions of the getBundle factory method, clearCache, ResourceBundle.Control.getTimeToLive, and ResourceBundle.Control.needsReload for details.

Example

The following is a very simple example of a ResourceBundle subclass, MyResources, that manages two resources (for a larger number of resources you would probably use a Map). Notice that you don't need to supply a value if a "parent-level" ResourceBundle handles the same key with the same value (as for the okKey below).
// default (English language, United States)
public class MyResources extends ResourceBundle {
    public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
        if (key.equals("okKey")) return "Ok";
        if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Cancel";
        return null;
    }
    public Enumeration<String> getKeys() {
        return Collections.enumeration(keySet());
    }
    // Overrides handleKeySet() so that the getKeys() implementation
    // can rely on the keySet() value.
    protected Set<String> handleKeySet() {
        return new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("okKey", "cancelKey"));
    }
}
// German language
public class MyResources_de extends MyResources {
    public Object handleGetObject(String key) {
        // don't need okKey, since parent level handles it.
        if (key.equals("cancelKey")) return "Abbrechen";
        return null;
    }
    protected Set<String> handleKeySet() {
        return new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList("cancelKey"));
    }
}
You do not have to restrict yourself to using a single family of ResourceBundles. For example, you could have a set of bundles for exception messages, ExceptionResources (ExceptionResources_fr, ExceptionResources_de, ...), and one for widgets, WidgetResource (WidgetResources_fr, WidgetResources_de, ...); breaking up the resources however you like.

Gets a resource bundle using the specified base name and locale on behalf of the specified module.

Resource bundles in named modules may be encapsulated. When the resource bundle is loaded from a service provider, the caller module must have an appropriate uses clause in its module descriptor to declare that the module uses of ResourceBundleProvider for the named resource bundle. Otherwise, it will load the resource bundles that are local in the given module as if calling Module.getResourceAsStream(String) or that are visible to the class loader of the given module as if calling ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String). When the resource bundle is loaded from the specified module, it is subject to the encapsulation rules specified by Module.getResourceAsStream.

If the given module is an unnamed module, then this method is equivalent to calling getBundle(baseName, targetLocale, module.getClassLoader() to load resource bundles that are visible to the class loader of the given unnamed module. Custom ResourceBundleControlProvider implementations, if present, will only be invoked if the specified module is an unnamed module.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
  • targetLocale – the locale for which a resource bundle is desired
  • module – the module for which the resource bundle is searched
Throws:
  • NullPointerException – if baseName, targetLocale, or module is null

@CallerSensitive public static final ResourceBundle getBundle(String baseName, Locale targetLocale, Control control) { Class<?> caller = Reflection.getCallerClass(); checkNamedModule(caller); return getBundleImpl(baseName, targetLocale, caller, control); }
Gets a resource bundle using the specified base name, locale, and class loader.

When this method is called from a named module and the given loader is the class loader of the caller module, this is equivalent to calling:

getBundle(baseName, targetLocale, callerModule)
otherwise, this is equivalent to calling:
getBundle(baseName, targetLocale, loader, control)
where control is the default instance of Control unless a Control instance is provided by ResourceBundleControlProvider SPI. Refer to the description of modifying the default behavior. The following describes the default behavior.

Resource Bundle Search and Loading Strategy

getBundle uses the base name, the specified locale, and the default locale (obtained from Locale.getDefault) to generate a sequence of candidate bundle names. If the specified locale's language, script, country, and variant are all empty strings, then the base name is the only candidate bundle name. Otherwise, a list of candidate locales is generated from the attribute values of the specified locale (language, script, country and variant) and appended to the base name. Typically, this will look like the following:

    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + script + "_" + country + "_" + variant
    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + script + "_" + country
    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + script
    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + country + "_" + variant
    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + country
    baseName + "_" + language

Candidate bundle names where the final component is an empty string are omitted, along with the underscore. For example, if country is an empty string, the second and the fifth candidate bundle names above would be omitted. Also, if script is an empty string, the candidate names including script are omitted. For example, a locale with language "de" and variant "JAVA" will produce candidate names with base name "MyResource" below.

    MyResource_de__JAVA
    MyResource_de
In the case that the variant contains one or more underscores ('_'), a sequence of bundle names generated by truncating the last underscore and the part following it is inserted after a candidate bundle name with the original variant. For example, for a locale with language "en", script "Latn, country "US" and variant "WINDOWS_VISTA", and bundle base name "MyResource", the list of candidate bundle names below is generated:
MyResource_en_Latn_US_WINDOWS_VISTA
MyResource_en_Latn_US_WINDOWS
MyResource_en_Latn_US
MyResource_en_Latn
MyResource_en_US_WINDOWS_VISTA
MyResource_en_US_WINDOWS
MyResource_en_US
MyResource_en
Note: For some Locales, the list of candidate bundle names contains extra names, or the order of bundle names is slightly modified. See the description of the default implementation of getCandidateLocales for details.

getBundle then iterates over the candidate bundle names to find the first one for which it can instantiate an actual resource bundle. It uses the default controls' getFormats method, which generates two bundle names for each generated name, the first a class name and the second a properties file name. For each candidate bundle name, it attempts to create a resource bundle:

  • First, it attempts to load a class using the generated class name. If such a class can be found and loaded using the specified class loader, is assignment compatible with ResourceBundle, is accessible from ResourceBundle, and can be instantiated, getBundle creates a new instance of this class and uses it as the result resource bundle.
  • Otherwise, getBundle attempts to locate a property resource file using the generated properties file name. It generates a path name from the candidate bundle name by replacing all "." characters with "/" and appending the string ".properties". It attempts to find a "resource" with this name using ClassLoader.getResource. (Note that a "resource" in the sense of getResource has nothing to do with the contents of a resource bundle, it is just a container of data, such as a file.) If it finds a "resource", it attempts to create a new PropertyResourceBundle instance from its contents. If successful, this instance becomes the result resource bundle.

This continues until a result resource bundle is instantiated or the list of candidate bundle names is exhausted. If no matching resource bundle is found, the default control's getFallbackLocale method is called, which returns the current default locale. A new sequence of candidate locale names is generated using this locale and searched again, as above.

If still no result bundle is found, the base name alone is looked up. If this still fails, a MissingResourceException is thrown.

Once a result resource bundle has been found, its parent chain is instantiated. If the result bundle already has a parent (perhaps because it was returned from a cache) the chain is complete.

Otherwise, getBundle examines the remainder of the candidate locale list that was used during the pass that generated the result resource bundle. (As before, candidate bundle names where the final component is an empty string are omitted.) When it comes to the end of the candidate list, it tries the plain bundle name. With each of the candidate bundle names it attempts to instantiate a resource bundle (first looking for a class and then a properties file, as described above).

Whenever it succeeds, it calls the previously instantiated resource bundle's setParent method with the new resource bundle. This continues until the list of names is exhausted or the current bundle already has a non-null parent.

Once the parent chain is complete, the bundle is returned.

Note: getBundle caches instantiated resource bundles and might return the same resource bundle instance multiple times.

Note:The baseName argument should be a fully qualified class name. However, for compatibility with earlier versions, Java SE Runtime Environments do not verify this, and so it is possible to access PropertyResourceBundles by specifying a path name (using "/") instead of a fully qualified class name (using ".").

Example:

The following class and property files are provided:

  • MyResources.class
  • MyResources.properties
  • MyResources_fr.properties
  • MyResources_fr_CH.class
  • MyResources_fr_CH.properties
  • MyResources_en.properties
  • MyResources_es_ES.class
The contents of all files are valid (that is, public non-abstract subclasses of ResourceBundle for the ".class" files, syntactically correct ".properties" files). The default locale is Locale("en", "GB").

Calling getBundle with the locale arguments below will instantiate resource bundles as follows:

getBundle() locale to resource bundle mapping
LocaleResource bundle
Locale("fr", "CH")MyResources_fr_CH.class, parent MyResources_fr.properties, parent MyResources.class
Locale("fr", "FR")MyResources_fr.properties, parent MyResources.class
Locale("de", "DE")MyResources_en.properties, parent MyResources.class
Locale("en", "US")MyResources_en.properties, parent MyResources.class
Locale("es", "ES")MyResources_es_ES.class, parent MyResources.class

The file MyResources_fr_CH.properties is never used because it is hidden by the MyResources_fr_CH.class. Likewise, MyResources.properties is also hidden by MyResources.class.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
  • locale – the locale for which a resource bundle is desired
  • loader – the class loader from which to load the resource bundle

It generates a * path name from the candidate bundle name by replacing all "." characters * with "/" and appending the string ".properties". It attempts to find a * "resource" with this name using {@link * java.lang.ClassLoader#getResource(java.lang.String) * ClassLoader.getResource}. (Note that a "resource" in the sense of * <code>getResource</code> has nothing to do with the contents of a * resource bundle, it is just a container of data, such as a file.) If it * finds a "resource", it attempts to create a new {@link * PropertyResourceBundle} instance from its contents. If successful, this * instance becomes the <em>result resource bundle</em>. </ul> * * <p>This continues until a result resource bundle is instantiated or the * list of candidate bundle names is exhausted. If no matching resource * bundle is found, the default control's {@link Control#getFallbackLocale * getFallbackLocale} method is called, which returns the current default * locale. A new sequence of candidate locale names is generated using this * locale and searched again, as above. * * <p>If still no result bundle is found, the base name alone is looked up. If * this still fails, a <code>MissingResourceException</code> is thrown. * * <p><a id="parent_chain"> Once a result resource bundle has been found, * its <em>parent chain</em> is instantiated</a>. If the result bundle already * has a parent (perhaps because it was returned from a cache) the chain is * complete. * * <p>Otherwise, <code>getBundle</code> examines the remainder of the * candidate locale list that was used during the pass that generated the * result resource bundle. (As before, candidate bundle names where the * final component is an empty string are omitted.) When it comes to the * end of the candidate list, it tries the plain bundle name.

@CallerSensitive public static ResourceBundle getBundle(String baseName, Locale locale, ClassLoader loader) { if (loader == null) { throw new NullPointerException(); } Class<?> caller = Reflection.getCallerClass(); return getBundleImpl(baseName, locale, caller, loader, getDefaultControl(caller, baseName)); }
Returns a resource bundle using the specified base name, target locale, class loader and control. Unlike the getBundle factory methods with no control argument, the given control specifies how to locate and instantiate resource bundles. Conceptually, the bundle loading process with the given control is performed in the following steps.
  1. This factory method looks up the resource bundle in the cache for the specified baseName, targetLocale and loader. If the requested resource bundle instance is found in the cache and the time-to-live periods of the instance and all of its parent instances have not expired, the instance is returned to the caller. Otherwise, this factory method proceeds with the loading process below.
  2. The control.getFormats method is called to get resource bundle formats to produce bundle or resource names. The strings "java.class" and "java.properties" designate class-based and property-based resource bundles, respectively. Other strings starting with "java." are reserved for future extensions and must not be used for application-defined formats. Other strings designate application-defined formats.
  3. The control.getCandidateLocales method is called with the target locale to get a list of candidate Locales for which resource bundles are searched.
  4. The control.newBundle method is called to instantiate a ResourceBundle for the base bundle name, a candidate locale, and a format. (Refer to the note on the cache lookup below.) This step is iterated over all combinations of the candidate locales and formats until the newBundle method returns a ResourceBundle instance or the iteration has used up all the combinations. For example, if the candidate locales are Locale("de", "DE"), Locale("de") and Locale("") and the formats are "java.class" and "java.properties", then the following is the sequence of locale-format combinations to be used to call control.newBundle.
    locale-format combinations for newBundle
    Index Locale format
    1 Locale("de", "DE") java.class
    2 Locale("de", "DE") java.properties
    3 Locale("de") java.class
    4 Locale("de") java.properties
    5 Locale("") java.class
    6 Locale("") java.properties
  5. If the previous step has found no resource bundle, proceed to Step 6. If a bundle has been found that is a base bundle (a bundle for Locale("")), and the candidate locale list only contained Locale(""), return the bundle to the caller. If a bundle has been found that is a base bundle, but the candidate locale list contained locales other than Locale(""), put the bundle on hold and proceed to Step 6. If a bundle has been found that is not a base bundle, proceed to Step 7.
  6. The control.getFallbackLocale method is called to get a fallback locale (alternative to the current target locale) to try further finding a resource bundle. If the method returns a non-null locale, it becomes the next target locale and the loading process starts over from Step 3. Otherwise, if a base bundle was found and put on hold in a previous Step 5, it is returned to the caller now. Otherwise, a MissingResourceException is thrown.
  7. At this point, we have found a resource bundle that's not the base bundle. If this bundle set its parent during its instantiation, it is returned to the caller. Otherwise, its parent chain is instantiated based on the list of candidate locales from which it was found. Finally, the bundle is returned to the caller.

During the resource bundle loading process above, this factory method looks up the cache before calling the control.newBundle method. If the time-to-live period of the resource bundle found in the cache has expired, the factory method calls the control.needsReload method to determine whether the resource bundle needs to be reloaded. If reloading is required, the factory method calls control.newBundle to reload the resource bundle. If control.newBundle returns null, the factory method puts a dummy resource bundle in the cache as a mark of nonexistent resource bundles in order to avoid lookup overhead for subsequent requests. Such dummy resource bundles are under the same expiration control as specified by control.

All resource bundles loaded are cached by default. Refer to control.getTimeToLive for details.

The following is an example of the bundle loading process with the default ResourceBundle.Control implementation.

Conditions:

  • Base bundle name: foo.bar.Messages
  • Requested Locale: Locale.ITALY
  • Default Locale: Locale.FRENCH
  • Available resource bundles: foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties and foo/bar/Messages.properties

First, getBundle tries loading a resource bundle in the following sequence.

  • class foo.bar.Messages_it_IT
  • file foo/bar/Messages_it_IT.properties
  • class foo.bar.Messages_it
  • file foo/bar/Messages_it.properties
  • class foo.bar.Messages
  • file foo/bar/Messages.properties

At this point, getBundle finds foo/bar/Messages.properties, which is put on hold because it's the base bundle. getBundle calls control.getFallbackLocale("foo.bar.Messages", Locale.ITALY) which returns Locale.FRENCH. Next, getBundle tries loading a bundle in the following sequence.

  • class foo.bar.Messages_fr
  • file foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties
  • class foo.bar.Messages
  • file foo/bar/Messages.properties

getBundle finds foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties and creates a ResourceBundle instance. Then, getBundle sets up its parent chain from the list of the candidate locales. Only foo/bar/Messages.properties is found in the list and getBundle creates a ResourceBundle instance that becomes the parent of the instance for foo/bar/Messages_fr.properties.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
  • targetLocale – the locale for which a resource bundle is desired
  • loader – the class loader from which to load the resource bundle
  • control – the control which gives information for the resource bundle loading process
Throws:
Returns:a resource bundle for the given base name and locale

ResourceBundle.Control defines a set of callback methods that are invoked by the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory methods during the bundle loading process. In other words, a ResourceBundle.Control collaborates with the factory methods for loading resource bundles. The default implementation of the callback methods provides the information necessary for the factory methods to perform the default behavior.

Control is designed for an application deployed in an unnamed module, for example to support resource bundles in non-standard formats or package localized resources in a non-traditional convention. ResourceBundleProvider is the replacement for ResourceBundle.Control when migrating to modules. UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown when a factory method that takes the ResourceBundle.Control parameter is called.

In addition to the callback methods, the toBundleName and toResourceName methods are defined primarily for convenience in implementing the callback methods. However, the toBundleName method could be overridden to provide different conventions in the organization and packaging of localized resources. The toResourceName method is final to avoid use of wrong resource and class name separators.

Two factory methods, getControl(List<String>) and getNoFallbackControl(List<String>), provide ResourceBundle.Control instances that implement common variations of the default bundle loading process.

The formats returned by the getFormats method and candidate locales returned by the getCandidateLocales method must be consistent in all ResourceBundle.getBundle invocations for the same base bundle. Otherwise, the ResourceBundle.getBundle methods may return unintended bundles. For example, if only "java.class" is returned by the getFormats method for the first call to ResourceBundle.getBundle and only "java.properties" for the second call, then the second call will return the class-based one that has been cached during the first call.

A ResourceBundle.Control instance must be thread-safe if it's simultaneously used by multiple threads. ResourceBundle.getBundle does not synchronize to call the ResourceBundle.Control methods. The default implementations of the methods are thread-safe.

Applications can specify ResourceBundle.Control instances returned by the getControl factory methods or created from a subclass of ResourceBundle.Control to customize the bundle loading process. The following are examples of changing the default bundle loading process.

Example 1

The following code lets ResourceBundle.getBundle look up only properties-based resources.

import java.util.*;
import static java.util.ResourceBundle.Control.*;
...
ResourceBundle bundle =
  ResourceBundle.getBundle("MyResources", new Locale("fr", "CH"),
                           ResourceBundle.Control.getControl(FORMAT_PROPERTIES));
Given the resource bundles in the example in the ResourceBundle.getBundle description, this ResourceBundle.getBundle call loads MyResources_fr_CH.properties whose parent is MyResources_fr.properties whose parent is MyResources.properties. (MyResources_fr_CH.properties is not hidden, but MyResources_fr_CH.class is.)

Example 2

The following is an example of loading XML-based bundles using Properties.loadFromXML.

ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Messages",
    new ResourceBundle.Control() {
        public List<String> getFormats(String baseName) {
            if (baseName == null)
                throw new NullPointerException();
            return Arrays.asList("xml");
        }

Returns a List of Strings containing formats to be used to load resource bundles for the given baseName. The ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method tries to load resource bundles with formats in the order specified by the list. The list returned by this method must have at least one String. The predefined formats are "java.class" for class-based resource bundles and "java.properties" for properties-based ones. Strings starting with "java." are reserved for future extensions and must not be used by application-defined formats.

It is not a requirement to return an immutable (unmodifiable) List. However, the returned List must not be mutated after it has been returned by getFormats.

The default implementation returns FORMAT_DEFAULT so that the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method looks up first class-based resource bundles, then properties-based ones.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
Throws:

public List<String> getFormats(String baseName) { if (baseName == null) { throw new NullPointerException(); } return FORMAT_DEFAULT; }
Returns a List of Locales as candidate locales for baseName and locale. This method is called by the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method each time the factory method tries finding a resource bundle for a target Locale.

The sequence of the candidate locales also corresponds to the runtime resource lookup path (also known as the parent chain), if the corresponding resource bundles for the candidate locales exist and their parents are not defined by loaded resource bundles themselves. The last element of the list must be a root locale if it is desired to have the base bundle as the terminal of the parent chain.

If the given locale is equal to Locale.ROOT (the root locale), a List containing only the root Locale must be returned. In this case, the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method loads only the base bundle as the resulting resource bundle.

It is not a requirement to return an immutable (unmodifiable) List. However, the returned List must not be mutated after it has been returned by getCandidateLocales.

The default implementation returns a List containing Locales using the rules described below. In the description below, L, S, C and V respectively represent non-empty language, script, country, and variant. For example, [L, C] represents a Locale that has non-empty values only for language and country. The form L("xx") represents the (non-empty) language value is "xx". For all cases, Locales whose final component values are empty strings are omitted.

  1. For an input Locale with an empty script value, append candidate Locales by omitting the final component one by one as below:
    • [L, C, V]
    • [L, C]
    • [L]
    • Locale.ROOT
  2. For an input Locale with a non-empty script value, append candidate Locales by omitting the final component up to language, then append candidates generated from the Locale with country and variant restored:
    • [L, S, C, V]
    • [L, S, C]
    • [L, S]
    • [L, C, V]
    • [L, C]
    • [L]
    • Locale.ROOT
  3. For an input Locale with a variant value consisting of multiple subtags separated by underscore, generate candidate Locales by omitting the variant subtags one by one, then insert them after every occurrence of Locales with the full variant value in the original list. For example, if the variant consists of two subtags V1 and V2:
    • [L, S, C, V1, V2]
    • [L, S, C, V1]
    • [L, S, C]
    • [L, S]
    • [L, C, V1, V2]
    • [L, C, V1]
    • [L, C]
    • [L]
    • Locale.ROOT
  4. Special cases for Chinese. When an input Locale has the language "zh" (Chinese) and an empty script value, either "Hans" (Simplified) or "Hant" (Traditional) might be supplied, depending on the country. When the country is "CN" (China) or "SG" (Singapore), "Hans" is supplied. When the country is "HK" (Hong Kong SAR China), "MO" (Macau SAR China), or "TW" (Taiwan), "Hant" is supplied. For all other countries or when the country is empty, no script is supplied. For example, for Locale("zh", "CN") , the candidate list will be:
    • [L("zh"), S("Hans"), C("CN")]
    • [L("zh"), S("Hans")]
    • [L("zh"), C("CN")]
    • [L("zh")]
    • Locale.ROOT
    For Locale("zh", "TW"), the candidate list will be:
    • [L("zh"), S("Hant"), C("TW")]
    • [L("zh"), S("Hant")]
    • [L("zh"), C("TW")]
    • [L("zh")]
    • Locale.ROOT
  5. Special cases for Norwegian. Both Locale("no", "NO", "NY") and Locale("nn", "NO") represent Norwegian Nynorsk. When a locale's language is "nn", the standard candidate list is generated up to [L("nn")], and then the following candidates are added:
    • [L("no"), C("NO"), V("NY")]
    • [L("no"), C("NO")]
    • [L("no")]
    • Locale.ROOT
    If the locale is exactly Locale("no", "NO", "NY"), it is first converted to Locale("nn", "NO") and then the above procedure is followed.

    Also, Java treats the language "no" as a synonym of Norwegian Bokmål "nb". Except for the single case Locale("no", "NO", "NY") (handled above), when an input Locale has language "no" or "nb", candidate Locales with language code "no" and "nb" are interleaved, first using the requested language, then using its synonym. For example, Locale("nb", "NO", "POSIX") generates the following candidate list:

    • [L("nb"), C("NO"), V("POSIX")]
    • [L("no"), C("NO"), V("POSIX")]
    • [L("nb"), C("NO")]
    • [L("no"), C("NO")]
    • [L("nb")]
    • [L("no")]
    • Locale.ROOT
    Locale("no", "NO", "POSIX") would generate the same list except that locales with "no" would appear before the corresponding locales with "nb".

The default implementation uses an ArrayList that overriding implementations may modify before returning it to the caller. However, a subclass must not modify it after it has been returned by getCandidateLocales.

For example, if the given baseName is "Messages" and the given locale is Locale("ja", "", "XX"), then a List of Locales:

    Locale("ja", "", "XX")
    Locale("ja")
    Locale.ROOT
is returned. And if the resource bundles for the "ja" and "" Locales are found, then the runtime resource lookup path (parent chain) is:

    Messages_ja -> Messages
Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
  • locale – the locale for which a resource bundle is desired
Throws:
Returns:a List of candidate Locales for the given locale

Returns a Locale to be used as a fallback locale for further resource bundle searches by the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method. This method is called from the factory method every time when no resulting resource bundle has been found for baseName and locale, where locale is either the parameter for ResourceBundle.getBundle or the previous fallback locale returned by this method.

Instantiates a resource bundle for the given bundle name of the given format and locale, using the given class loader if necessary. This method returns null if there is no resource bundle available for the given parameters. If a resource bundle can't be instantiated due to an unexpected error, the error must be reported by throwing an Error or Exception rather than simply returning null.

If the reload flag is true, it indicates that this method is being called because the previously loaded resource bundle has expired.

Params:
  • 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
  • format – the resource bundle format to be loaded
  • loader – the ClassLoader to use to load the bundle
  • reload – the flag to indicate bundle reloading; true if reloading an expired resource bundle, false otherwise
Throws:
See Also:
Implementation Requirements: Resource bundles in named modules are subject to the encapsulation rules specified by Module.getResourceAsStream. A resource bundle in a named module visible to the given class loader is accessible when the package of the resource file corresponding to the resource bundle is open unconditionally.

The default implementation instantiates a ResourceBundle as follows.

  • The bundle name is obtained by calling toBundleName(baseName, locale).
  • If format is "java.class", the Class specified by the bundle name is loaded with the given class loader. If the Class is found and accessible then the ResourceBundle is instantiated. The resource bundle is accessible if the package of the bundle class file is open unconditionally; otherwise, IllegalAccessException will be thrown. Note that the reload flag is ignored for loading class-based resource bundles in this default implementation.
  • If format is "java.properties", toResourceName(bundlename, "properties") is called to get the resource name. If reload is true, load.getResource is called to get a URL for creating a URLConnection. This URLConnection is used to disable the caches of the underlying resource loading layers, and to get an InputStream. Otherwise, loader.getResourceAsStream is called to get an InputStream. Then, a PropertyResourceBundle is constructed with the InputStream.
  • If format is neither "java.class" nor "java.properties", an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
Returns:the resource bundle instance, or null if none could be found.

Returns the time-to-live (TTL) value for resource bundles that are loaded under this ResourceBundle.Control. Positive time-to-live values specify the number of milliseconds a bundle can remain in the cache without being validated against the source data from which it was constructed. The value 0 indicates that a bundle must be validated each time it is retrieved from the cache. TTL_DONT_CACHE specifies that loaded resource bundles are not put in the cache. TTL_NO_EXPIRATION_CONTROL specifies that loaded resource bundles are put in the cache with no expiration control.

The expiration affects only the bundle loading process by the ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method. That is, if the factory method finds a resource bundle in the cache that has expired, the factory method calls the needsReload method to determine whether the resource bundle needs to be reloaded. If needsReload returns true, the cached resource bundle instance is removed from the cache. Otherwise, the instance stays in the cache, updated with the new TTL value returned by this method.

All cached resource bundles are subject to removal from the cache due to memory constraints of the runtime environment. Returning a large positive value doesn't mean to lock loaded resource bundles in the cache.

The default implementation returns TTL_NO_EXPIRATION_CONTROL.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle for which the expiration value is specified.
  • locale – the locale of the resource bundle for which the expiration value is specified.
Throws:
Returns:the time (0 or a positive millisecond offset from the cached time) to get loaded bundles expired in the cache, TTL_NO_EXPIRATION_CONTROL to disable the expiration control, or TTL_DONT_CACHE to disable caching.

Determines if the expired bundle in the cache needs to be reloaded based on the loading time given by loadTime or some other criteria. The method returns true if reloading is required; false otherwise. loadTime is a millisecond offset since the Calendar Epoch.

The calling ResourceBundle.getBundle factory method calls this method on the ResourceBundle.Control instance used for its current invocation, not on the instance used in the invocation that originally loaded the resource bundle.

The default implementation compares loadTime and the last modified time of the source data of the resource bundle. If it's determined that the source data has been modified since loadTime, true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned. This implementation assumes that the given format is the same string as its file suffix if it's not one of the default formats, "java.class" or "java.properties".

Params:
  • 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
  • format – the resource bundle format to be loaded
  • loader – the ClassLoader to use to load the bundle
  • bundle – the resource bundle instance that has been expired in the cache
  • loadTime – the time when bundle was loaded and put in the cache
Throws:
Returns:true if the expired bundle needs to be reloaded; false otherwise.

Converts the given baseName and locale to the bundle name. This method is called from the default implementation of the newBundle and needsReload methods.

This implementation returns the following value:

    baseName + "_" + language + "_" + script + "_" + country + "_" + variant
where language, script, country, and variant are the language, script, country, and variant values of locale, respectively. Final component values that are empty Strings are omitted along with the preceding '_'. When the script is empty, the script value is omitted along with the preceding '_'. If all of the values are empty strings, then baseName is returned.

For example, if baseName is "baseName" and locale is Locale("ja", "", "XX"), then "baseName_ja_ _XX" is returned. If the given locale is Locale("en"), then "baseName_en" is returned.

Overriding this method allows applications to use different conventions in the organization and packaging of localized resources.

Params:
  • baseName – the base name of the resource bundle, a fully qualified class name
  • locale – the locale for which a resource bundle should be loaded
Throws:
