Accessing i18n Messages from exception (validation errors) in Grails in a Service

To access your message, inject the MessageSource into your service:
def messageSource  

And to get the error messages from exception based on your i18n properties file, use the following code block in your service:
 

def messageSource;

def printAllMessage(Exception ex) {
    ex.errors.allErrors.eachWithIndex { ObjectError objectError, Integer index ->
        println "Error #${index}: " + messageSource.getMessage(objectError, Locale.default);
    }
}

Will output something like this based on you i18n messages.properties file:

Error #0: Property [accountId] cannot be null
Error #1: Property [displayName] cannot be null
Error #2: Property [emailAddress] with value [pritom@bitmascot.com] must be unique

If your i18n file contains something like:

default.null.message=Property [{0}] cannot be null
default.not.unique.message=Property [{0}] with value [{2}] must be unique

package time.zone;

        List<TimeZone> timeZoneList = new ArrayList<TimeZone>();
        for(String id : timeZoneIdList) {

                return a.getID().compareTo(b.getID());
            }
        });
        for(TimeZone timeZone : timeZoneList) {
            String zoneId = timeZone.getID();
            String displayName = timeZone.getDisplayName();
            double offset = (double) timeZone.getRawOffset() / 1000 / 60 / 60;
            String minute = ((offset - (int) offset) * 60) > 0 ? (" & " + (int) 
                    ((offset - (int) offset) * 60) + " minute") : "";
            System.out.println("Zone id: " + zoneId + ", name: " + displayName + ""
                    + ", offset: " + (int) offset + " hour" + minute);
        }
    }
}

And output would something like this...

Zone id: Asia/Beirut, name: Eastern European Time, offset: 2 hour
Zone id: Asia/Bishkek, name: Kirgizstan Time, offset: 6 hour

Get list of all country with iso3 and code from locale using java

package pritom;

import java.util.Locale;

/**

 */
public class CheckCountry {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] isoCountries = Locale.getISOCountries();
        for (String country : isoCountries) {
            Locale locale = new Locale("en", country);
            String code = locale.getISO3Country();
            String name = locale.getCountry();
            String displayName = locale.getDisplayCountry();
            System.out.println("ISO3 Code: " + code + " , Name: " + name + " , Display: " + displayName);
        }
    }
