Nik Haldimann updated SHINDIG-532:
----------------------------------
Attachment: message-bundles-hierarchical.patch
> Make message bundles inherit messages from "parent" locales
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHINDIG-532
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-532
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Gadget Rendering Server (Java)
> Reporter: Nik Haldimann
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: message-bundles-hierarchical.patch
>
>
> It's useful to think of locales as hierarchical, e.g., the locale en-ALL
> would be the parent of locales en-US and en-GB, the locale all-All would be
> the parent of locales en-ALL, es-ALL etc.
> Message bundles can be organized in the same way, e.g., the message bundle
> for en-US inherits (and might override) messages from both parent en-ALL and
> grandparent all-ALL. This allows gadget developers to avoid some redundancy
> in message bundles for messages where translations are the same over multiple
> related locales.
> Attached patch implements this message bundle inheritance logic.
> Caveats:
> - The patch does not implement inheritance for inline message bundes.
> - The patch turns what was only 1 HTTP request for a message bundle into up
> to 3 HTTP requests. Those are executed sequentially (since this was way
> easier to implement). Since there is a maximum of 3 requests per message
> bundle and the bundles are cached in memory anyway (particularly the common
> parent bundles), this should be fine.
> - The main logic is in BasicMessageBundleFactory. Anybody using a different
> MessageBundleFactory implementation doesn't get the benefit of this patch.
> I'm open to modifying the patch if these caveats seem too much.
