Interface Translatable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DeploymentFileNotFoundException, DeploymentParseException, DeploymentURLException

public interface Translatable

Objects that implement the Translatable interface can be translated by RB.java using : RB.getString(Translatable instance) RB.getString(String key, Translatable instance) The first method will lookup the translation string using the class name (without the package name) as the translation key. The second method can be used if you want to produce different strings from the same object (based on the key) The translation string in resource.properties can use object fields like {message} instead of positional variables like {0} {1} {2} Example: public class FileNotFoundException extends Exception implements Translatable { public String fileName; public FileNotFoundException(String fileName) { this.fileName = fileName; } public String toString() { return RB.getString(this); // actual string in resource.properties } } resource.properties: FileNotFoundException = Cannot find the file {fileName}. If you wanted to print a different message based on the same object, you could use: RB.getString("FileNotFound.OtherMessage", new FileNotFoundException("foo")); resource.properties: FileNotFound.OtherMesage: Could not find {fileName} to say the least.
