Locale object management
The present embodiments relate to context-switch based locale object management. More specifically, the embodiments relate to real-time re-loading of a locale object. A task is performed and monitored by a local object management daemon. If the task needs to be globalized, a pre-emptive locale object switch operation interrupts the application performing the task and reloads the application with a different locale object. The application is then resumed and operated with the re-loaded locale object.
1. A method for context-switch based locale object management comprising:
identifying a task being performed on data by an application, the application having a pre-loaded first locale object, wherein the first locale object contains at least one first display format parameter;
performing a first comparison including comparing the identified task to a locale object switch pattern;
identifying the locale object switch pattern based on the first comparison;
performing a pre-emptive locale object switch operation comprising:
identifying a switch reference;
performing a second comparison including comparing the identified task to the identified switch reference;
identifying the application performing the identified task based on the second comparison;
interrupting execution of the identified application;
over-riding the pre-loaded first locale object including:
selecting a second locale object based on the identified switch reference, wherein the second locale object contains at least one second display format parameter; and
loading, in real-time, the second locale object into the interrupted application; and
resuming execution of the interrupted application with the second locale object, including formatting the data based on the second display format parameter.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
referencing a stored parameter associated with the identified application, wherein the stored parameter defines the identified application as pre-loaded with the first locale object.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
updating the stored parameter including defining the identified application as pre-loaded with the second locale object.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the locale object switch pattern is pre-defined.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
creating the locale object switch pattern, including;
analyzing a second executing application having the second locale object performing the identified task;
defining the locale object switch pattern of utilizing the second locale object during performance of the identified task; and
storing the locale object switch pattern in a first memory location.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
retrieving the locale object switch pattern, including;
detecting a new locale object switch pattern;
retrieving the new locale object switch pattern; and
storing the new locale object switch pattern in a first memory location.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein detecting a new locale object switch pattern includes receiving a recommendation of a new locale object switch pattern in real-time.
