-----------------------------------
I dind't think of that! Silly me!
I think what you propose is indeed fine.
Go ahead and close this issue.
> StringResourceModel without resourcebundle
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-2716
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2716
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: wicket
> Environment: ALL
> Reporter: Pas Filip
> Priority: Minor
>
> Is it possible to add a class to wicket that works exactly like the
> StringResourceModel with the sole exception that the string it uses to format
> is not localized.
> I was trying to create panel that would display fields of a customer.
> The line displaying the street of the customer is build up using several
> fields.
> Currently I have to use a messageformat or a stringbuilder via an overridden
> IModel to concatenate the message or a StringResourceModel along with aan
> entry in the propertyFile.
> It would be much more elegant if it would be possible to specify either a
> resourcekey or a resourcevalue.
> I was thinking of introducing an additional class which StringResourceModel
> could inherit from.
> By default that new model would just format the string and not do any lookup
> in resourcebundles.
> StringResourceModel could then inherit from this class and perform a lookup
> in resource bundles.
> Another option would be to add yet another constructor to StringResourceModel
> which would not take the resourceKey but directly the value to format.
> I ask this because i'm a great fan of the way that wicket supports property
> substitutions and I find it a shame I cannot use it without having to add a
> resourcebundle.
> For Example:
> Suppose you have an Address object with the fields street , housenumber,
> pobox, appartmentblock,...
> On one line you have to show the full info. Possible solutions:
> 1) For every field create a label and bind every property to each label.
> 2) Create a single label and override the getObject of Model:
> public Object getObject(){
> StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
> buf.append( address.getStreetName() ).append(" ");
> buf.append( address.getHouseNumber() ).append(" ");
> buf.append( address.getPoBox() ).append(" ");
> etc...
> return buf.toString();
> }
> 3)Create a single label with a StringResourceModel and a property file:
> In the propertyFile you could have something like this {streetName}
> {houseNumber} {poBox}.
> I find solution 1 or 2 a bit heavyweight.
> Solution 3 is most elegant but if you don't neet internationalization it's
> annoying to have to create a propert file with your panel.
> ==> For this reason it would be nice to be able to get the samefunctionality
> from StringResourceModel in another class except no lookup is done in the
> resourcebundle and the string is just formatted.
> Is possible to add such a model to wicket? Or refactor StringResourceModel to
> support my request?
