Constructor Detail

LocalStringManagerImpl

public LocalStringManagerImpl(Class defaultClass)

Create a string manager that looks for LocalStrings.properties in the package of the defaultClass.

Parameters:

defaultClass - Class whose package has default localized strings

Method Detail

getLocalString

public String getLocalString(Class callerClass,
                             String key,
                             String defaultValue)

Get a localized string. Strings are stored in a single property file per package named LocalStrings[_locale].properties. Starting from the class of the caller, we walk up the class hierarchy until we find a package resource bundle that provides a value for the requested key.

This simplifies access to resources, at the cost of checking for the resource bundle of several classes upon each call. However, due to the caching performed by ResourceBundle this seems reasonable.

Due to that, sub-classes must make sure they don't have conflicting resource naming.

Specified by:

getLocalString in interface LocalStringManager

Parameters:

callerClass - The object making the call, to allow per-package resource bundles

key - The name of the resource to fetch

defaultValue - The default return value if not found

Returns:

The localized value for the resource

getLocalString

public String getLocalString(String key,
                             String defaultValue)

Get a localized string from the package of the default class.

Specified by:

getLocalString in interface LocalStringManager

Parameters:

key - The name of the resource to fetch

defaultValue - The default return value if not found

Returns:

The localized string

getLocalString

public String getLocalString(Class callerClass,
                             String key,
                             String defaultFormat,
                             Object... arguments)

Get a local string for the caller and format the arguments accordingly.

Specified by:

getLocalString in interface LocalStringManager

Parameters:

callerClass - The caller (to walk through its class hierarchy)

key - The key to the local format string

defaultFormat - The default format if not found in the resources

arguments - The set of arguments to provide to the formatter

Returns:

A formatted localized string

getLocalString

public String getLocalString(String key,
                             String defaultFormat,
                             Object... arguments)

Get a local string from the package of the default class and format the arguments accordingly.

Parameters:

key - The key to the local format string

defaultFormat - The default format if not found in the resources

arguments - The set of arguments to provide to the formatter

Returns:

A formatted localized string
