RE: XML ResourceBundles

[Martin van Dijken <mv...@madocke.nl>]

Hey Keyur,

I'm not certain since I don't have a test setup, but try the following:

Have your XMLResourceBundle class print out super.getLocale() in the handleGetObject() method. What you need to know is whether super.getLocale() returns the desired Locale (fr) or the default Locale since it couldn't find the fr class nor the fr properties. If the getLocale() call returns the desired Locale(in your example fr), then you've got something to go by. 

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm afraid things won't work this way and then I think it simply is impossible to create what you describe. The framework is quite clear and rather simple and has no public or protected methods to indicate anything can be done.

Greetz,

Martin
