org.forgerock.i18n.LocalizableMessageDescriptor.ArgN

Enclosing class:

LocalizableMessageDescriptor

public static final class LocalizableMessageDescriptor.ArgN
extends Object

Subclass for creating messages with an any number of arguments. In general this class should be used when a message needs to be defined with more arguments that can be handled with the current number of subclasses

Constructor and Description
ArgN(Class<?> sourceClass, String resourceName, String key, int ordinal) Creates a parameterized instance.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
LocalizableMessage	get(Object... args) Creates a message with arguments that will replace format specifiers in the associated format string when the message is rendered to string representation.
int	ordinal() Returns the ordinal associated with this message, or -1 if undefined.
String	resourceName() Returns the name of the resource in which this message is defined.

Constructor Detail

ArgN

public ArgN(Class<?> sourceClass,
            String resourceName,
            String key,
            int ordinal)

Creates a parameterized instance.

Parameters:

sourceClass - The class in which this descriptor is defined. This class will be used to obtain the ClassLoader for retrieving the ResourceBundle. The class may also be retrieved in order to uniquely identify the source of a message, for example using getClass().getPackage().getName().

resourceName - The name of the resource bundle containing the localizable message.

key - The resource bundle property key.

ordinal - The ordinal associated with this descriptor or -1 if undefined. A message can be uniquely identified by its ordinal and class.

Method Detail

get

public LocalizableMessage get(Object... args)

Creates a message with arguments that will replace format specifiers in the associated format string when the message is rendered to string representation.

Parameters:

args - The message arguments.

Returns:

The localizable message containing the provided arguments.

ordinal

public final int ordinal()

Returns the ordinal associated with this message, or -1 if undefined. A message can be uniquely identified by its resource name and ordinal.

This may be useful when an application wishes to identify the source of a message. For example, a logging implementation could log the resource name in addition to the ordinal in order to unambiguously identify a message in a locale independent way.

Returns:

The ordinal associated with this descriptor, or -1 if undefined.

resourceName

public final String resourceName()

Returns the name of the resource in which this message is defined. A message can be uniquely identified by its resource name and ordinal.

This may be useful when an application wishes to identify the source of a message. For example, a logging implementation could log the resource name in addition to the ordinal in order to unambiguously identify a message in a locale independent way.

The resource name may be used for obtaining named loggers, e.g. using SLF4J's org.slf4j.LoggerFactory#getLogger(String name).

Returns:

The name of the resource in which this message is defined, or null if this message is a raw message and its source is undefined.
