Project WebSynergy Milestone 4 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Remove Localization Support for Unwanted Languages

Overwrite the locales property of portal.properties to remove unwanted languages. You need to make sure that the portal-ext.properties file is placed at GlassFish install-dir/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/websynergy/WEB-INF/classes.

  1. Create a temporary folder. In this example, name the folder as test.

    Equivalent step in the command prompt or in the terminal window of a UNIX like OS:

    mkdir /tmp/test

  2. Copy portal-impl.jar to the temp folder.

    portal-impl.jar contains language resource bundles for WebSynergy. This jar file is located under the GlassFish install-dir/domains/domain1/application/j2ee-modules/websynergy/WEB-INF/lib/ directory.

    Equivalent step in the command prompt or in the terminal window of a UNIX like OS:

    cp GlassFish install-dir/domains/domain1/application/j2ee-modules/websynergy/WEB-INF/lib/portal-impl.jar /tmp/test

  3. Change directory to temp.

    Equivalent step in the command prompt or in the terminal window of SOLARIS or any UNIX like OS:

    cd /tmp/test

  4. Extract the portal-impl.jar file.

    Equivalent step in the command prompt or in the terminal window of a UNIX like OS:

    jar -xvf portal-impl.jar

    After unjar it will have portal.properties file in the same directory.

  5. Open portal.properties and copy the locales property from the Languages and Time Zones section.

  6. if portal-ext.properties does exits in WebSynergy then paste the locales property into it. Otherwise, create a text file (using any text editor) and name it as portal-ext.properties, and paste the locales property into it.

    Default location of portal-ext.properties is GlassFish install-dir/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/websynergy/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties.

  7. Edit the locales property to include only the languages which are needed.

    For example, If you want to support only English, German and Spanish, remove all the unwanted locales so that the locales value looks as below:

    locales=en_US,de_DE,es_ES

  8. Save the portal-ext.properties file.

  9. Copy the portal-ext.properties file (under temp/test), and paste it to GlassFish install-dir/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/websynergy/WEB-INF/classes.

  10. Restart the GlassFish server.
