I'm working on a patch for RequestCopy, and I have some global strings I want to declare so that other users can then change these strings. I thought messages.xml would be the place to do that. I want to use them as Strings not Message type.
Ideally, I would have these in some centralized location ( messages.xml, I thought ) String Part1 = "whatever"; String Part2 = "some text"; In an aspect file, I create a string based on Part1 and Part2, something like this: String Final_message = Part1 + " : " + Part2; Sorry for being so hardheaded about this. -Jose On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 4:39 PM, Andrea Schweer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jose, > > On 04/10/13 05:59, Jose Blanco wrote: >> I would like to store this in the messages.xml file >> >> <message key="xmlui.RequestItem.Test1">test 1</message> >> <message key="xmlui.RequestItem.Test2">test 2</message> >> >> And then create a string like this >> private static final Message T_Test1 = >> message("xmlui.RequestItem.Test1"); >> >> private static final Message T_Test2 = >> message("xmlui.RequestItem.Test2"); >> >> String msg = T_test1 + "something else" + T_test2 >> >> How do can I do this?
