language-web-servlet

Simple java library for tomcat that helps with multi-language html web sites

This library eases the designing of simple html multi-language web pages.

The idea is simple:

• Create a template of the html to convert to multilanguage.
• Create properties files with keys to ve replaced in the template for every language.

Procedure

• Once you have the valid html
• Just replace the language depending texts by labels, with format: /*LABEL*/
• Those labels will be placed as keys in a properties file for every language
• A generic base class Servlet: LanguageWebGenServlet works by taking the html template (with the texts replaced by labels), and, with the language of the request, replace Labels for texts.
• You will have to create a derived class of that servlet, with the particular location of your html template

Example

There is a usage example at folder ./UsageExample/
