[Version 5.0.2 and later]Managing the internationalization service

Why and when to perform this task

To use internationalization context in an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) application, the internationalization service must be enabled in the run-time environments for all server-side components (servlets and enterprise beans) as well as all client-side components (EJB client applications).

During installation of this product, if you installed the Additional services option but do not require the internationalization service, disable the service on all J2EE clients and application servers. Disabling the service eliminates any possible performance degradation incurred by the implicit distribution of internationalization resources.

Note: The internationalization service cannot be enabled for HTTP clients because support for internationalization in that case is provided by the browser, not by the application server.

Steps for this task

  1. As needed, enable or disable the internationalization service for servlets and enterprise beans.
    The service is disabled by default within WebSphere enterprise application servers. You enable the service by using either the administrative console or the wsadmin tool.

    [Version 5.0.2 and later]This step applies also to Web service-enabled session beans.

  2. As needed, enable or disable the internationalization service for EJB clients within the hosting WebSphere J2EE client environments.
    The service is enabled by default within the WebSphere J2EE client container.

    [Version 5.0.2 and later]This step applies also to Web service clients.
