Interface LocaleProvider
public interface LocaleProvider
A service that is used to determine what the current locale is for a
particular context or session. If no
LocaleProvider
service is available then the locale must be determined by other
means, for example, by calling Locale.getDefault()
.
More advanced environments can support multiple locales within a
single system. For example, a server may support multiple users,
each needing a different locale. In such an environment a
LocaleProvider
service must be registered that can
determine the current locale for the context of the call to the
getLocale()
method.
