2. Globalization Development Kit Building Global Internet Application Simon Law Product Manager Oracle Corporation Session id: 40127

3. Globalization Development Kit  What is the GDK ? – A toolkit that simplifies the development process, and reduces the cost of developing Internet applications that will be used to support a global environment  The need for the GDK – The complexity associated with the different globalization concepts, can make building and supporting a global Internet application quite a challenge for many companies.

4. Internet and Oracle Services  Oracle’s Globalization Platform for J2EE  Internet Services – provides the development support for the J2EE middle tier to hide the complexity of synchronizing globalization operations across tiers  Oracle Services – provides development support in the middle tier to provide consistent globalization operations as provided in the database server

5. Monolingual Model English Locale Japanese Locale Application Server A Thai Locale ISO-8859-1 Shift- JIS TIS- 620 Application Server B Monolingual English Application Server Instance1 Application Server Instance2 Monolingual Japanese Oracle Unicode Database Application Server Instance Monolingual Japanese

6. Multilingual Model Oracle Unicode Database English Locale Japanese Locale Thai Locale ISO-8859-1 Shift- JIS TIS- 620 Application Server Application Server Instance Multilingual English, Japanese, Thai

7. Developing a Global Internet Application  Determining the user locale preference and synchronizing it with the application  Specifying the character set for the input and output of web content  Staging and managing translated content  Getting consistent globalization operations between the application and the database

8. Locale TypeSource HTTP language preferenceBrowser User Input Locale Menu Locale preference from databaseDatabase LDAP locale preference LDAP Application default locale GDK Locale TypeSource HTTP language preferenceBrowser User Input Locale Menu Locale preference from databaseDatabase LDAP locale preference LDAP Application default locale GDK Supported Locale Sources

9. GDK Application configuration file  Dictates the globalization behaviors and the properties of the application  One application configuration file per J2EE application  Alter the globalization behavior in the application, without the need to change the programs and to recompile them

10. Defining the locale sources and the application locales  Application configuration file: gdkapp.xml oracle.i18n.servlet.localeldap.LDAPInetOrgPerson oracle.i18n.servlet.localesource.HTTPAcceptLanguage de-* ja en-US

11. Detecting the Locale  Locale loc = request.getLocale( );  Localizer localizer = ServletHelper.getLocalizerInstance(request); The GDK Localizer is an all-in-one globalization object that encapsulates comprehensive globalization attributes and methods

12. Character set for the input and output of web content  A single local character set dedicated to the whole application  Use Unicode UTF-8 for all contents regardless of the language  Use the native character set for each language

13.

14. Handling the character set  Specify the Character set in the application configuration file. UTF-8 AUTO-CHARSET ja EUC-JP

15. Managing translated content  Static Files – HTML, GIF, XML etc.  French version of index.html > index_fr.html or fr/index.html  ServletHelper.rewriteURL ( ) method rewrites a URL based on the rules specified in the application configuration file. ">

16. Managing translated content  Strings in the JSP / JAVA Servlets  Externalized into Java ResourceBundle REPLACE <% Locale user_locale=request.getLocale(); ResourceBundle rb=ResourceBundle.getBundle("resource",user_locale); %> WITH % Localizer.getMessage ("Welcome") %>

17. Globalization compatibility between Java & Oracle  No Globalization Standard  Lengthy lead time for Java to add new locale support  The GDK extends Oracle Globalization Support features to the application server  Handles the compatibility between the Java and the Oracle database server seamlessly
