In an internationalized Oracle Commerce Platform application, specific Java internationalization classes must be used for the following purposes:
formatting of numbers, percentages, currencies, dates, and times
formatting of compound messages and plurals
character checking
String comparison
character, word, and sentence text boundaries
In order for these objects to be locale-sensitive, the Oracle Commerce Platform requires these objects to call either a RequestLocale object or a DynamoHttpServletRequest object.
For information on the Java internationalization classes, refer to the Java Internationalization Specification at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/index.html. For information on the RequestLocale and DynamoHttpServletRequest objects, see Configuring the Request Locale in this chapter.
