In an internationalized Dynamo 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, Dynamo requires these objects to call either a RequestLocale object or a DynamoHttpServletRequest object.
For information on the Java internationalization classes, refer to the JavaSoft Internationalization Specification on the Oracle Web site. For information on the RequestLocale and DynamoHttpServletRequest objects, see Configuring the Request Locale in this chapter.
