ColdFusion Resource Bundles

by kai on 17/04/2005

If you ever asked yourself how to internationalize or globalize your ColdFusion apps (i18n or g11n), have a look at Jason Sheedy's ColdFusion Resource Bundle Manager.

Jason's code is a great way to get your feets dirty with this technology and to get an idea how it works!

Here's a zip file containing the customtag, a testpage and the sql to create two tables in mysql to play with the testpage.

But the two highlight in my point of view were: "Integrating Flash Paper and Captivate content", done by Peldi and "Trinity: A manifestation of…

His slides and code examples are available online. Have a look on…
