Question

Is there a way I can bind a declaration in my WOD file directly to a
key/value pair in a WebObjects Properties resource file? I want to
externalise the majority of my HTML text [heading's etc] without creating a
java WOString/binding for each heading and bit of static text in my html
file.

 

Background

In Apache struts I would use the bean message taglib where I can specify a
resource bundle and a resource key. When the page is resolved the value for
the key in the resource bundle will be displayed [on the html page]. In this
way I can externalise the majority of my html text to Resource files
[Properties], and change them without re-deploying applications etc.  

 

An Example

MyPage.html

<!--  My declaration for a static html string  ->

<webobjects name='PageStaticHeading1' />

 

MyPage.wod

// the WO declaration that will bind to key/value in a Properties file

PageStaticHeading1: WO<something like String I guess> {

    resourceBundle = PropertiesPageHeadings;   // specify the resource
bundle to use

    resourceKey = '<mysite>.<mypage>.<myheading1>; // specify a key in the
resource bundle

}

 

PropertiesPageHeadings.properties_English

# my English resource bundle for static html bits

'<mysite>.<mypage>.<myheading1> = My name is George;

 

PropertiesPageHeadings.properties_FR

# my French resource bundle for static html bits

'<mysite>.<mypage>.<myheading1> = Je m'appelle Georges;
