Samples

The Samples Gallery offers: Internationalization service currency exchange sample The Currency exchange application exchanges U.S. dollars to foreign currencies, or vice versa, and illustrates the use of the Internationalization service in performing server-side localizations that are sensitive to client-side locale information. The Internationalization service manages the propagation of locale and time zone information, collectively referred to as Internationalization context, between client and server application components. Within server components, Currency exchange uses internationalization context with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) Internationalization API to perform localizations, such as resource isolation, collation, and message formatting.
