Some of the string values and date formats that appear in client’s navigator browser are taken by Bedework from the locale management of the operating system on the OS of server side. The JVM on which Bedework runs on, takes some of the string values and date formats from the underlying OS using java locale and , date and time classes. So it is quite important that both, JVM and OS, are configured correctly.

$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= |
In this case “English “en_US" (English – United States” seems to be States) is the default language configuration. To change it to “Spanish – Spain”."es_ES" (Spanish – Spain) use the following commands:

$ export LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 $ export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 |

For Unix boxes: Your server could may not have all possible locale configurations installed. Some Unix(es) gives you some information about it with non-priviledged commands. In Linux (Fedora, CentOS, etc) the command “set” gives you some info.

Be aware that you can configure and issue the “$export LC_ALL=<locale>” even when that locale is not really supported on your installation. Even more, after that unsupported configuration, the “locale” command shows supposed current locale even when the OS does not really manage it if it is not installed. |
JVM Checks
The JVM takes some environment values from the OS ones operating system by default. To check the default locale (among others) your JVM is using you can use this class:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
$java -Duser.timezone=Europe/Madrid -Duser.country=ES -Duser.language=es Prop01 java.runtime.name=Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Stand... sun.boot.library.path=/apps/jdk/jdk150_02/jre/lib/i386 java.vm.version=1.5.0_02-b09 ..... user.country=ES user.timezone=Europe/Madrid user.language=es ..... |
You should put change those environment variables before starting your bedework Bedework installation , as like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
(Unix) JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Duser.timezone= Europe/Madrid -Duser.country=ES -Duser.language=es -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Duser.variant=ES " |
| Code Block |
|---|
(windows) SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Duser.timezone=Europe/Madrid -Duser.country=ES -Duser.language=es -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Duser.variant=ES |
The startjboss or startjboss.bat inherits the values of JAVA_OPTS and adds them to the ones it sets itseltitself.
