Method Detail

adjustDefaultLocale

public static void adjustDefaultLocale()
                                throws SecurityException

This operation creates a new default Locale using the information provided through the relevant System properties. The relevant properties are:

• user.language
• user.country
• user.variant

The adjustment of the Locale is performed by exchanging the language, country and variant of the default Locale with the values of the properties mentioned above. However, a replacement will only be done if the specific value is not empty. In this case the default (platform provided) values will remain. This operation will not change anything for applications started using the java binary (unless the user.* are not changed at runtime before). For javaws applications using this operation at application startup it is possible to adjust the Locale properties according to the information provided by the JNLP file (and thus the resulting System properties. As of the non-destructive nature of this operation it is recommended to call it at application startup if you plan to distribute it using Java WebStart. However, there is a catch: the SecurityManager has to grant the permission to change the default Locale.

Throws:

SecurityException - if the SecurityManager denies the change of the default Locale
