For a long time, I never paid much attention to localization because my users
all spoke English. Alas, I now need the convenience of localization.
I remember that the earlier generation of seam-gen (the one built into the
Hibernate reverse engineering tool part of the JBoss IDE) embedded message
bundle lookups for all of its generated labels. But it would seem that this
feature no longer exists, and I am seeing a lot of hard-coded English.
For example, in seam-gen\view\edit.xhtml.ftl:
| <h:commandButton id="save"
| value="Save"
| action="${'#'}{${homeName}.persist}"
| disabled="${'#'}{!${homeName}.wired}"
| rendered="${'#'}{!${homeName}.managed}"/>
|
and in seam-gen\view\editproperty.xhtml.ftl:
| <ui:define name="label">${componentProperty.name}</ui:define>
|
For the first case, I could see seam-gen automatically declare some constants
for common labels like "Save", "Delete", "Cancel", etc. Let's say they were
called, "Seam.Edit.Save", then the template could embed a messages
lookup:value="#{messages['Seam.Edit.Save']}"
For the second case, it is a little more complicated because the template needs
to have a messages lookup and we need to augment the messages.properties
file... The first part is easy enough, but the messages.properties file looks
like a constant artifact in seam-gen.
Adding a message bundle lookup for field labels would help in renaming the
fields -- I only need to tweak the message bundle instead of editing 3 xhtml
files for each business domain object.
But before I dig any further, it looks like someone has beat me to this issue
and logged an issue already:
http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1206
Any plans for getting this in the 1.3 beta?
