Class LocalizationContext

public class LocalizationContext extends Object

Class representing an I18N localization context.

An I18N localization context has two components: a resource bundle and the locale that led to the resource bundle match.

The resource bundle component is used by <fmt:message> for mapping message keys to localized messages, and the locale component is used by the <fmt:message>, <fmt:formatNumber>, <fmt:parseNumber>, <fmt:formatDate>, and <fmt:parseDate> actions as their formatting or parsing locale, respectively.
