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.
