Hello,
I just commited patches to move dynamic message from clnt-struts to
keel-client.
The treatment of dynamic messages is now implanted in
DefaultClientConnector. The job is done by an new class
DynamicMessageSupport in keel-common, with Apache library commons-resources.
I moved the properties files from conf/client/struts to
conf/clients/resource, a more client neutral place. I used
ResourceBundle Editor for Eclipse to sort the messages: very nice tool
to work with i18n messages.
Howto :
Below "key" is the symbolic name of a bundle.
- In each direct sub-class of DefaultClientConnector, defined a function
setDefaultKeys, which can add key(s) to the default key list. This
function can be called from function "execute" as soon as kres is
defined with a "model" attribute (if required).
This function "setDefaultKeys" must call:
* DefaultClientConnector.initDefaultKeys(kres) to initialize the
default key list,
* then DefaultClientConnector.getDefaultKeys() to get this default key
list and add new key(s).
Use DefaultClientConnector.addFirstDefaultKey(...) and
DefaultClientConnector.addLastDefaultKey(...) to add any key at the
beginning or at the end of the list.
It is recommended to defined setDefaultKeys as private.
- In a derived class, e.g. StrutsClientConnector, in function "execute"
insert a call to DefaultClientConnector.internationalize(...). This
function will do all the job!
It is also possible to call
DefaultClientConnector.translateString(...), like StrutsClientConnector
with the error messages.
Normally, sub-classes don't need to do anything else about i18n but
eventually to define their own function setDefaultKeys.
====
AbstractDesktopClientConnector is ready to i18n.
Todo:
- put i18n in non Struts Client connectors
- it may be necessary to add script(s) in plugin.jelly
(tool-maven-plugin) for clients other than Struts.
- add a function "translateMessage" in DefaultClientConnector.
- in StrutsClientConnector.errorhandle, do a "final" translation of
error messages.
