The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter 2.0.1 release
provides an internationalized version of the Java connector library.
This internationalized connector library enables you to develop adapters that
can be localized for many different locales (A locale includes
culture-specific conventions and a character code set.). The
structure of connectors has changed in the following ways to accomodate
locales:
- The connector framework now has a locale associated with it. This
locale is determined either from the operating system locale or from
configuration properties. The Java connector library provides the
getGlobalEncoding() and getGlobalLocale() methods in the
CWConnectorUtil class to access this information from within the
connector.
- A business object has a locale associated with it. This locale is
associated with the data in the business object, not with the name
of the business object definition or its attributes. The Java connector
library provides the getLocale() method in the
CWConnectorBusObj class to obtain the name of this locale from
within the connector.
