Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.ResourceBundle.Control.toResourceName() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import java.util.ResourceBundle.Control;

public class ResourceBundleControlDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a new ResourceBundle.Control with default format
      ResourceBundle.Control rbc = ResourceBundle.Control.getControl(Control.FORMAT_DEFAULT);

      // print the name of the resource
      System.out.println("" + rbc.toResourceName("hello", "properties"));
   }
}

hello = Hello World!

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

hello.properties
