3 Using the BEA WebLogic Server Message Editor

3-2 Internationalization Guide

Note: The Message Editor does not support the editing of localized catalogs.

The Message Editor allows you to perform the following tasks:

 Create XML message catalogs

 Create and edit messages

 View all the messages in one catalog

 View all the messages in several catalogs simultaneously

 Search for messages

 Validate the XML in catalog entries

The catalog currently being created or used in the Message Editor is the context

catalog.

The catalog parsers (

i18ngen or l10ngen) recognize character code references for

special characters and convert them to the intended character, as shown in Table 3-1.

The Message Editor recognizes the special characters and writes them back using the

character code references. The parsers recognize no other character references.
