Java ResourceBundle: Key Tips
There are some points to keep in mind when using ResourceBundle:
- Naming of the file: The ResourceBundle file should follow a certain rule, usually ending with .properties, such as messages.properties. Additionally, the file name should correspond to the package name in order to correctly load the resource file.
- The location of resource files: Resource files should be placed in the classpath, usually in the src/main/resources directory.
- File encoding of resources: In order to properly load the content from resource files, it is necessary to save resource files in encoding formats such as UTF-8.
- Utilize the correct Locale: ResourceBundle loads corresponding resources based on the Locale, so make sure to use the correct Locale to access the relevant resources.
- The contents of resource files are typically stored in the form of key-value pairs, it is important to ensure that each key corresponds to the correct value.
- Cache issue: ResourceBundle by default will cache loaded resource files, if you need to reload resource files, you can use the clearCache() method to clear the cache.
- Pay attention to the resource file paths: When loading resource files, it is important to pay attention to the formatting of the paths. Typically, resources are loaded using a class loader, such as ResourceBundle.getBundle(“messages”).
