Spent a lot of time thinking/recollecting to do this.
Here it goes
import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
/*
** Resource bundle test
*/
public class AppMessageBundle extends ListResourceBundle
{
static final Object[][] m_contents =
{
// KEY , MESSAGE
// Messages for the migration exception log
{"HELLO" , "Hello without parameter."
}
,{"HELLO_ARG1" , "Hello {0}."
}
,{"HELLO_ARG2" , "Hello {0} and {1}."
}
// Errors and Exceptions
// Genric Messages
// To add as and when requirements arise
// Command line usage
// To add if requirements arise.
};
public Object[][] getContents()
{
return (m_contents);
}
}
import java.text.MessageFormat;
import java.util.*;
/*
** Test program to understand
** passing arguments to construct
** resource messages of more meaning.
*/
public class AppMessageBundleTester
{
private static final String RESOURCE_BUNDLE = "AppMessageBundle";
public static void main ( String[] args )
{
String name1 = "Test string";
int num = 734;
printResourceMessage("HELLO");
printResourceMessage("HELLO_ARG1",new Object[]{name1});
printResourceMessage("HELLO_ARG2",new Object[]{name1,name1});
printResourceMessage("HELLO_ARG2",new Object[]{name1,num});
}
private static ResourceBundle s_resBund = ResourceBundle.getBundle(
RESOURCE_BUNDLE, Locale.getDefault());
public static ResourceBundle getResourceBundle()
{
return s_resBund;
}
static void printResourceMessage(String message, Object[] names)
{
println(MessageFormat.format(s_resBund.getString(message), names));
}
static void printResourceMessage(String message)
{
println(s_resBund.getString(message));
}
static void println(Object o)
{
System.out.println(o);
}
} // end of class
This is all java and you need not have to go through hassle of having properties file. Specially useful in a web application.
