Locale is not used in the actual string format for loggers ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: LOGTOOL-120 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-120 Project: Log Tool Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.1.Final Reporter: David Lloyd Assignee: James Perkins Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.3.Final, 2.1.0.Alpha2 The {{String.format()}} method accepts a Locale parameter. We should be using the Locale of the implementation class. Since the format method is called from a final method, we need a polymorphic way of getting the Locale instance; therefore, a protected method should be added to the generated base class like this: {code} protected Locale getLoggingLocale() { return Locale.ROOT; } {code} Then each subclass should return a locale object specific to that class. The locale object returned should either be one of the following: * Locale.CANADA - for "en_CA" * Locale.CANADA_FRENCH - for "fr_CA" * Locale.CHINESE - for "zh" * Locale.ENGLISH - for "en" * Locale.FRANCE - for "fr_FR" * Locale.FRENCH - for "fr" * Locale.GERMAN - for "de" * Locale.GERMANY - for "de_DE" * Locale.ITALIAN - for "it" * Locale.ITALY - for "it_IT" * Locale.JAPAN - for "ja_JP" * Locale.JAPANESE - for "ja" * Locale.KOREA - for "ko_KR" * Locale.KOREAN - for "ko" * Locale.SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE - for "zh_CN" * Locale.TRADITIONAL_CHINESE - for "zh_TW" * Locale.UK - for "en_GB" * Locale.US - for "en_US" If the locale is not one of the above, then the correct Locale should be created in a private constant field of the class like this: {code} private static final Locale LOCALE = new Locale("hu"); // or... private static final Locale LOCALE = new Locale("hu", "HU"); // or... private static final Locale LOCALE = new Locale("hu", "HU", "technl"); // ...and then... @Override protected Locale getLoggingLocale() { return LOCALE; } {code} Finally, all calls to {{format()}} should be rewritten to use the locale *from the method* like this: {code} final NamingException result = new NamingException(String.format(getLoggingLocale(), objectFromReference$str())); {code}
