Add new StringResourceLoader to allow Wicket extensions to provide localization
resource bundles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-4162
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4162
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Bertrand Guay-Paquet
Issue:
It is currently not possible to provide default localization resource bundles
for components in wicket extension modules (e.g. wicket-extensions). See issues
WICKET-3911 and WICKET-4154 where this was a problem.
Proposed changes:
1-Add a new IStringResourceLoader type (WicketExtensionStringResourceLoader?)
which checks the root of the jar containing the component for properties in
extension.properties.
2-Insert this new resource loader in the existing default resource loader chain:
ResourceSettings() constructor:
stringResourceLoaders.add(new ComponentStringResourceLoader());
stringResourceLoaders.add(new PackageStringResourceLoader());
stringResourceLoaders.add(new
ClassStringResourceLoader(application.getClass()));
// New loader inserted here
stringResourceLoaders.add(new
WicketExtensionStringResourceLoader());
stringResourceLoaders.add(new ValidatorStringResourceLoader());
3-Start adding extension.properties files in wicket-extension and friends.
Questions:
Is a similar effort already underway?
Are there any better ideas?
Should the new loader be inserted at the end of the chain instead?
Do you prefer other names for the loader or the properties file?
I am prepared to provide a patch sometime next week if this is agreed on.
