Set the internationalization type for servlets

This task sets the internationalization type for a servlet within a Web module.

This topic assumes that we have an assembly tool such as Rational Application Developer.

For information about assembly, refer to the documentation for the assembly tool. The steps in this topic refer to Rational Application Developer.

This topic assumes that we have started the assembly tool, configured the assembly tool for work on JEE modules, and created or imported a dynamic Web project.

1. In the Java EE perspective, open the Web project for which to set the internationalization type.

   1. Double-click Dynamic Web Projects.

   2. Double-click the name of the Web project to see its contents.

   3. Double-click the deployment descriptor object.
   The Web Deployment Descriptor panel is displayed.

2. In the Web Deployment Descriptor panel, click the Servlets tab.

3. Scroll down to WebSphere Programming Model Extensions and then Internationalization.

4. From the Servlets and JSPs list of the Servlets panel, select the servlet for which to set the internationalization type.

5. Under Internationalization, select a value from the Internationalization type list. Valid values are Application or Container.

6. From the menu bar, click File > Save.

Results

The internationalization type setting is assigned to the servlet.

What to do next

If we selected container-managed internationalization, we can then set container-managed internationalization attributes for methods within the servlet. For more information, see "Configuring container internationalization for servlets."
