[opencms-dev] Solved: Problem with locale opencms changed JVM (Possible bug in OpenCms set locale JVM)

[Deiverson Silveira]

Hi List,

About problem with JVM, I believe it is a bug in opencms, when he goes to
set a locale that has more than 2 parts (fr_CA, pt_BR), i have module pt_BR
ok, but code dont reading pt_BR and set locale JVM, i change class
CmsLocaleManager.java in package org.opencms.i18n:

/**
     * Sets the default locale of the Java VM to <code>{@link
Locale#ENGLISH}</code> if the
     * current default has any other language then English set.<p>
     *
     * This is required because otherwise the default (English) resource
bundles
     * would not be displayed for the English locale if a translated default
locale exists.<p>
     *
     * Here's an example of how this issues shows up:
     * On a German server, the default locale usually is <code>{@link
Locale#GERMAN}</code>.
     * All English translations for OpenCms are located in the "default"
message files, for example
     * <code>org.opencms.i18n.message.properties</code>. If the German
localization is installed, it will be
     * located in <code>org.opencms.i18n.message_de.properties</code>. If
user has English selected
     * as his locale, the default Java lookup mechanism first tries to find
     * <code>org.opencms.i18n.message_en.properties</code>. However, this
file does not exist, since the
     * English localization is kept in the default file. Next, the Java
lookup mechanism tries to find the servers
     * default locale, which in this example is German. Since there is a
German message file, the Java lookup mechanism
     * is finished and uses this German localization, not the default file.
Therefore the
     * user get the German localization, not the English one.
     * Setting the default locale explicitly to English avoids this
issue.<p>

    private static void setDefaultLocale() {

        // set the default locale to english
        // this is required because otherwise the default (english) resource
bundles
        // would not be displayed for the english locale if a translated
locale exists

        Locale oldLocale = Locale.getDefault();
        if (!(Locale.ENGLISH.getLanguage().equals(oldLocale.getLanguage())))
{
            // default language is not English
            try {
                Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);
                if (CmsLog.INIT.isInfoEnabled()) {
                    CmsLog.INIT.info(Messages.get().getBundle().key(
                        Messages.INIT_I18N_DEFAULT_LOCALE_2,
                        Locale.ENGLISH,
                        oldLocale));
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // any Exception: the locale has not been changed, so there
may be issues with the English
                // localization but OpenCms will run in general
                CmsLog.INIT.error(Messages.get().getBundle().key(
                    Messages.LOG_UNABLE_TO_SET_DEFAULT_LOCALE_2,
                    Locale.ENGLISH,
                    oldLocale), e);
            }
        } else {
            if (CmsLog.INIT.isInfoEnabled()) {

CmsLog.INIT.info(Messages.get().getBundle().key(Messages.INIT_I18N_KEEPING_DEFAULT_LOCALE_1,
oldLocale));
            }
        }

        // initialize the static member with the new default
        m_defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();
    }




I change method for this and set JVM ok:



    private static void setDefaultLocale() {

        // set the default locale to english
        // this is required because otherwise the default (english) resource
bundles
        // would not be displayed for the english locale if a translated
locale exists

        Locale oldLocale = Locale.getDefault();
    Locale loc = new Locale("pt","BR");

            try {
            Locale.setDefault(loc);
                if (CmsLog.INIT.isInfoEnabled()) {
                    CmsLog.INIT.info(Messages.get().getBundle().key(
                        Messages.INIT_I18N_DEFAULT_LOCALE_2,
                        loc,
                        oldLocale));
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // any Exception: the locale has not been changed, so there
may be issues with the English
                // localization but OpenCms will run in general
                CmsLog.INIT.error(Messages.get().getBundle().key(
                    Messages.LOG_UNABLE_TO_SET_DEFAULT_LOCALE_2,
                    loc,
                    oldLocale), e);
            }

        // initialize the static member with the new default
        m_defaultLocale = Locale.getDefault();
    }


SUCESS! This Work others system/projects, opencms dont impact in jvm when
pt_BR... but the jvm will be forever by setting pt_BR! I Belive other people
must have the same problem when more project in server aplication!
