Spring provide the support to print locale specific message inside the application in a very elegant manner and some how it uses it dependecy Injection to achieve this feature fromm the org.springframework.context.MessageSource class.
let us figure out the way to achieve the internationalization of your application with the spring MessageSource Class.To construct this example I have created two resouce bundle one is for US_EN and another is for the Japanese.For Japanese Resource bundle I have used the unicode char(UTF-8).
Step 1:Let us create a simple java project(include the Spring jar into the classpath) as the depicted figure.
Step 2:Create the resource bundle as fallows:
for Japanese
Step 3: Create Spring.xml provided with the messageSource bean other the than already configured bean.
Step 4: Now Create Mp3Player bean specified in the spring.xml as fallowslet us figure out the way to achieve the internationalization of your application with the spring MessageSource Class.To construct this example I have created two resouce bundle one is for US_EN and another is for the Japanese.For Japanese Resource bundle I have used the unicode char(UTF-8).

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.MessageSource;
public class Mp3Player {
private List rockSongs;
private Set jazzSongs;
private Map classicSongs;
@Autowired
private MessageSource messageSource;

public void setMessageSource(MessageSource messageSource) {
this.messageSource = messageSource;

Step 5: Now Create your Test Class to test the desired functionality
package com.rajkrrsinghblogspot;
import java.util.Locale;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.core.io.FileSystemResource;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//BeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(new FileSystemResource("spring.xml"));
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring.xml");
Mp3Player mp3p = (Mp3Player) ctx.getBean("mp3ply");
mp3p.getRockSongs();
mp3p.getJazzSongs();
mp3p.getClassicSongs();
String nameInJapanese = ctx.getMessage("name.jp", null, "Default Name", Locale.JAPANESE);
String nameInEnglish = ctx.getMessage("name", null, "Default Name", Locale.ENGLISH);
System.out.println("The Name of the user in Japanese is "+nameInJapanese);
System.out.println("The Name of the user in English is "+nameInEnglish);
}
}
Step 6: Now Run your program as java application and look at the console
