getLookupClassLoaders

public static final List<ClassLoader> getLookupClassLoaders()

public static final Locale getPreferredLocale()

Returns a locale which is used to find preferable locale specific resources.

Returns:

preferred locale of found resources

setPreferredLocale

public static final void setPreferredLocale(Locale preferredLocale)

Changes locale which is used to find preferable locale specific resources.

Parameters:

preferredLocale -

getResourceURLIterator

public static Iterator<URL> getResourceURLIterator(String resourceName)

Returns an Iterator providing all resources of the specified name from the search path used to load classes. Registered look up class loader will be considered too. The resources thus found are returned as an Iterator of URL objects. If a global preferred locale is defined, resource look up prefer resources matching to this locale.

Parameters:

resourceName -

Returns:

iterator of URL objects

getResourceURLIterator

public static Iterator<URL> getResourceURLIterator(String resourceName,
                                                   Locale preferredLocale)

Returns an Iterator providing all resources of the specified name from the search path used to load classes. Registered look up class loader will be considered too. The resources thus found are returned as an Iterator of URL objects. If the preferredLocale parameter is not null, locale specific resources are the preferred returned URLs. If a global preferred locale is defined too, resource look up prefer resources matching to the given locale followed by resources matching the global locale and finally the default resources.

Parameters:

resourceName -

preferredLocale -

Returns:

iterator of URL objects
