ResourceBundle

[prasanna pati]

what is ResourceBundle ? what is locale specific object ? what is the difference between propertyresourcebundle & list.. ? what we can do with these ResourceBundle s? when they r needed ?

I load property files into a ResourceBundle for EJB applications as the EJB spec forbids an enterprise bean to use the java.io package to access files and directories in the file system.

Hi
Resource bundles nothing but key/value pairs. Java contains ResourceBundle Abstract base class and two subclasses called ListResourceBundle and PropertyResourceBundle to handle these key/value pair Concepts.
Locale specific object coming in to the picture when, you want to design one application, specific to the particular Language or Country.
ListResourceBundle packs key/value pair in a separate class file but PropertyResourceBudle packs key/value pair in a separate �. properties� text file. for more detailed information go through this sun site

I hope this will give what u expected.
