Administering the internationalization service
To use internationalization context in an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) application, the internationalization service must be enabled in the runtime environments for all server-side components (servlets and enterprise beans, including session beans enabled for Web service usage) as well as all client-side components (EJB client applications and Web service clients).
About this task
If you do not require the internationalization service, do not enable it. Leaving the service disabled prevents any possible performance degradation incurred by the implicit distribution of internationalization resources.
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.
Procedure
- Enable or disable the internationalization service for servlets and enterprise beans. By default, the service is disabled for server-side components within the application server. You enable the service by using either the administrative console or the wsadmin tool.
- Enable or disable the internationalization service for EJB clients. By default, the service is disabled within the client container. You enable the service by using the launchClient tool.
