File Naming Convention

The file name for the resource bundle is usually the provider name, that is, the name defined in the display profile when the provider class is declared. For example:

<Provider name="Bookmark" class="com.iplanet.portalserver.providers.bookmark.BookmarkProvider">

Here, for the BookmarkProvider, the resource bundle file name is Bookmark.properties. The provider name will be retrieved via the ProviderContext.getProviderName() method.

The provider can also use a different name (different from the default name) for the resource bundle. The name must be passed as a key when calling ProviderAdapter.getResourceBundle(String key) method.
