Hi!

Goal: I want to use jsf`s i18n

Scenario:

creating resource bundle (utf-8)

file info:

 file -I ./messages.properties
./messages.properties: text/plain; charset=utf-8

using it by

faces-config:

<application>
        <locale-config>
            <default-locale>uk_UA</default-locale>
            <supported-locale>en_US</supported-locale>
            <supported-locale>ru_RU</supported-locale>
        </locale-config>        
        <resource-bundle>
            <base-name>ua.eset.oasys.hydra.i18n.messages</base-name>
            <var>i18n</var>
        </resource-bundle>
    </application>

in some index.xhtml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:vt="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/security"&gt;
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
<body>

<ui:composition template="layout/template.xhtml">
    <ui:define name="top">
        <h:form>
            <h:panelGrid border="4">

...
                <f:view>                    
                    <h:commandButton value="#{i18n['logout']}" action="#{securityBacking.logout}"/>
                </f:view>
            </h:panelGrid>
        </h:form>
    </ui:define>

    ...

</ui:composition>

</body>
</html>

Problem: In result i get wrong encoded text for those buttons.

I was tried to use native2asciiin maven

</project>

I got different symbols, but still wrong.

I made i trick by passing messages with :

String (value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8") ;

Messages.java :

public class Messages {
    private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "ua.eset.oasys.hydra.i18n.messages"; 
    private static final ResourceBundle RESOURCE_BUNDLE = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_NAME);

    private Messages() {

    }

    public static String getString(String key) {
        try {
            String value = (String) RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getString(key);
            try {
                   return new String (value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8") ;
            } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    return null;
            }
        } catch (MissingResourceException e) {
                return '!' + key + '!';
        }
    }
}

it was successful, I got a valid text, but it is ugly to use in jsf..

info: I am using glassfish v3, mac osx (so defaulst encoding latin1 or ISO-8859-1,- no shure.)

Q1: what could be a cause of problem (bad encoding for jsf i18n)? [closed]

Q2: is it possible to do a trick like String (value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8") for jsf with the help of maven or by some jsf futures ?

Q3: what is wrong with maven configuration?

Thank you!

I am not sure how native2ascii in Maven-2 is supposed to work, but the java.util.ResourceBundle indeed by default reads resources using ISO-8859-1. The native2ascii tool is supposed to create a new set of ISO-8859-1 encoded resource files based on UTF-8 encoded ones. I myself name all of those UTF-8 properties files message_xx_XX.utf8.properties and then use the commandline native2ascii tool to encode them to message_xx_XX.properties as follows:

native2ascii.exe -encoding UTF-8 text_xx_XX.utf8.properties text_xx_XX.properties

This works for me.

Q1: the cause is file encoding on file system.

Q2: I have not find the right way to encode those file with maven, but jetBrains Idea do some trick for me - in Properties it have an Encoding options (File Encodings) - and there is configuration "Default encoding for properties files" - put it to UTF-8 and set ti true check box "Transparent native-to-ascii conversion" With this option all work perfect, but it is not a right way as I think, so i will make research for right maven`s native2ascii plugin configuration.

if some one know what is wrong n my configuration, please answer on Q3.

Thank you!
