Java Properties Files in the Sun Virtual Lab

Major changes in resources were made to the Java properties. Indeed, these files are responsible for displaying almost all messages from the Access Manager Administration Console.

Java properties files are usually based on a key=value system. The key is used as a unique reference to display the value in the user interface. The key is identical in all properties files, regardless of the language setting. The value (which is actually a message displayed in the GUI) is different depending on the language setting.

In the Sun Virtual Lab, almost all occurrences of the value have been replaced by key itself. Java properties for the Dutch (nl) language are now based on a key=key system. Hence, when accessing an instance of Access Manager deployed in the Sun Virtual Lab, the GUI will display key titles instead of key values. A number has also been inserted before each key. For example, the Login button key in the amConsole_nl.properties resources file stored in the Sun Virtual Lab is buttonnew=[33]button.new.

Using the following mapping table, it is possible to locate the resource file in which a key is located. Using the Login button example, it is easy to locate the resource properties key in the system and to customize it.

• The key used for displaying Login button is “buttonnew”.

• The “buttonnew” key is stored in file [33].

• File [33] is amConsole_nl.properties

• All Java properties files are located under AM_INS/locale.

Note –

The original English message can be retrieved by accessing an Access Manager instance with the language browser setting set to English.

The original English value for each key is available in all Java properties files as a comment above each key line.

To find out how to locate Java properties files, see Java Properties Files.

The amAdminCLI.properties file has not been customized.

The amConsole.properties file contains a number of keys that must not be customized:

• schemaType.global

• schemaType.organization

• schemaType.dynamic

• schemaType.user

• blank.header

• entityDescriptor.profile.sectionHeader

• contactperson.profile

The amConsole.properties file contains values for time zones. Because those values must not be changed, the list of time zones has been kept as the default.
