This chapter introduced bidirectional text and how it is enabled in
WebSphere Business Integration system. The key points to remember
are:
- Bidirectional scripts have text that runs left to right and have segments
embedded that run right to left.
- Bidirectional text has two major characteristics, bidirectionality and
shaping. Each characteristic must be addressed when developing
bidirectional applications.
- A locale must be set up to utilize bidirectional text scripts.
- InterChange Server is enabled for bidirectional languages if appropriate
system configuration is performed (see System Installation Guide for
Windows for more information). WebSphere Business Integration
Adapters include nine adapters that are enabled for bidirectional
languages.
- Internal bidirectional format in WebSphere Business Integration products
is Windows bidirectional format (logical, left to right).
