Different behaviour in internationalization

[Bob Mathews]

The locale returned when we call Locale.getDefault() varies when run from the command line (using a small sample program) and when used in the JSP pages.



Sample code:



import java.util.*;



public class VBRCur {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("---");

System.out.println(Locale.getDefault().getCountry());

System.out.println(Locale.getDefault());

System.out.println(java.util.Currency.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()).getSymbol());

System.out.println("---");

}

}



OS: Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition

Locale set on the host is: Danish



Command line output:

DK

da_DK

kr



JSP output:

GB

en_GB

�



Could you please shed some light on this behavior? Is this expected or a bug?

defualt Locale access from the system property, may be when you are running it from jsp your app server change this property values. you can check system property value at both place i.e. stan alone and jsp

From where can i access these system properties

The web server would inherit the local from the OS , but you might choose to override this while starting the server.look at the startup scripts of the server that you are using.
