Error messages are stored as follows:
Identity Manager messages are stored in a WPMessages.properties file in the idmcommon.jar and in the RAMessages.properties file in the idmadapter.jar.
The WPMessages.properties file is located in project_directory/waveset/idm/common/src/com/waveset/msgcat.
The RAMessages.properties file is located in project_directory/waveset/idm/adapter/src/com/waveset/adapter.
Sun Identity Manager Service Provider uses a standard Java message resource bundle for displaying strings in the user interface. This resource bundle is normally included in the idmspe.jar file and must be extracted if you plan to customize message strings.
$ cd $WSHOME/WEB-INF/classes $ jar xvf ../lib/idmspe.jar com/sun/idm/idmx/msgcat/I DMXMessages.properties
Identity Auditor messages are stored in the AUMessages.properties file, which is located in
project_directory/waveset/idm/auditor/src/com/sun/idm/auditor/msgcat/ AUMessages.properties
The Data Exporter’s default implementation includes its own message bundle, called WICMessages.properties. The WICMessages.properties file is located in the exporter.jar file in
com/sun/idm/warehouse/msgcat/WICMessages.properties
You can create a customized message catalog to add messages or to modify messages provided with the system.
See Chapter 9, Customizing Message Catalogs, in Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide for instructions.
