Oracle 10g Locale Sources in OGS

Oracle Database 10g OGS provides new APIs to detect user predefined locale sources that are accessible by an internet application. The locale detection in Java is very primitive; it does not support user-selected locale preferences or locale preferences from user profiles. Also, the only locale fallback mechanism in Java is based on the locale preferences stored in the Accept-Language header. For your more advanced applications, these primitive locale detection features in Java will not be adequate.

Oracle Database 10g OGS provides support for your predefined locale sources, sources like:

• User input locale
   

• HTTP language preference
   

• The application default locale

The OGS framework allows for the addition of custom locale sources, such as user profiles from the database or the LDAP server. However, because the user profile schema definitions vary across applications, distinct database access objects must be created to support them.
