Class CmsMessages

java.lang.Object

org.opencms.i18n.CmsMessages

Direct Known Subclasses:

CmsMultiMessages, CmsXmlMessages

public class CmsMessages
extends java.lang.Object

Reads localized resource Strings from a java.util.ResourceBundle and provides convenience methods to access the Strings from a template.

This class is frequently used from JSP templates. Because of that, throwing of exceptions related to the access of the resource bundle are suppressed so that a template always execute. The class provides an isInitialized() method that can be checked to see if the instance was properly initialized.

Since:

6.0.0

keyWithParams

public java.lang.String keyWithParams(java.lang.String keyName)

Returns the localized resource string for a given message key, treating all values appended with "|" as replacement parameters.

If the key was found in the bundle, it will be formatted using a MessageFormat using the provided parameters. The parameters have to be appended to the key separated by a "|". For example, the keyName error.message|First|Second would use the key error.message with the parameters First and Second. This would be the same as calling key(String, Object[]).
