I started on a new assignment where I need to work on a software maintanenace project consisting of a large enterprise java/j2ee based web application that is 10 years old. We need to introduce Internationalization(i18n) support to this web application.
This
j2ee based web application uses technologies like
java, oracle database,
jsp, javascript, websphere v6.1 application server
struts, web services, spring, xml, jms, ejb etc and this web application is mostly (oracle) database driven.
Now my question is, can you explain where do we start on this effort of adding i18n support to this large j2ee web application. Initially our focus is to support languages like Spanish, French and later extend to other languages.
Can you please suggest some good books, internet URL's etc. where I can look at for adding i18n support for these kind existing large j2ee based web application?
how to add i18n support to the existing large oracle based database ?
Appreciate your timely help.
