Take a look at Spring's internationalization support.

Thanks Bill,

Please suggest about storing/displaying arabic fonts in database and PDF/Excel Report.

Also,

which is best way to handle the JSP that should develop two jsp pages for English and Arabic. Because Arabic display style is right to left in the page content

Check out Apache Tiles. You will need different layout based on localization. Spring has a tiles view resolver.

http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/advanced/l10n.html

Messages or text that need to be displayed in different languages should be put in the properties files as was described in my previous link, not in the database. I don't know anything about how you are generating your PDF or Excel reports but its not Spring related so I am afraid I cannot help you there beyond the fact that Spring can read in any of the messages you have by a provided locale. These can be used in your report generation as well (It is not just restricted to JSP's)

Good Luck!
