Localizing Custom Code

When you create custom code using the Identity Manager APIs, you can do the following:

• Localize the exception messages that are displayed by Logical Attribute Handlers, Business Logic Task Handlers, and validation rules.
• Localize the display names for logical attributes.
• Specify the language that Identity Manager uses for all its communications with a third-party client when using the Remote Task Execution (TEWS) feature.
• Use the Localizer helper class to retrieve the localized version of a string for a given locale. For example, you can retrieve the localized version of a label on a task screen or a task name.

For more information about localizing custom code, see the following documents:

• The Localizer and IMSException area of the Support Objects information in Programming Guide for Java.
• The class descriptions for the Localizer and IMSException objects in the Javadoc.
