[Piotr Kubowicz (JIRA)]

Internationalization of JBoss Portal Identity Library
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBPORTAL-1911
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1911
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Patch
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: Identity-1.0.1
            Reporter: Piotr Kubowicz
         Attachments: identity-i18n.patch

Currently it's very hard to customize JBoss Portal in terms of localisation. Most strings are hard-coded, but even worse, there's a portal identity library, which is packaged as a JAR in portal lib directory, thus causing introducing localised login messages very hard and obscure (it's even hard to find out, what to change to get login messages localised).

I suggest a simple patch starting internationalization of the Identity Library. What remains is only to add more languages. I have tested the patch JBoss Portal 2.6.4 and it works just fine.

Note that it won't work out of the box, because JBoss Portal generally does not support internationalization: all JSP pages use ISO 8859-1 encoding. I have submitted a patch to login page (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1874), which sets character encoding to UTF-8 on the login page and together with it everything works fine.
