Class MessageBundle

java.lang.Object

com.github.fge.msgsimple.bundle.MessageBundle

All Implemented Interfaces:

Frozen<MessageBundleBuilder>

@ThreadSafe
public final class MessageBundle
extends Object
implements Frozen<MessageBundleBuilder>

A message bundle

A bundle is a list of MessageSourceProviders. When a message is looked up, providers are queried in order for a MessageSource for that locale; if a source is found, it is queried for the message.

When a method is used which does not take a Locale as an argument, the default locale is used (obtained via Locale.getDefault()). If no match is found for the locale, the next, more general locale is tried.

Finally, if no match was found for any provider/source, the key itself is returned.

You cannot instantiate this class directly: use newBuilder() to obtain a builder, then that builder's MessageBundleBuilder.freeze() method to obtain the bundle; alternatively, you can reuse an existing bundle and thaw() it, modify it and freeze it again.

Method Detail

newBuilder

public static MessageBundleBuilder newBuilder()

Create a new, empty builder for a bundle

Returns:

a builder

getMessage

public String getMessage(Locale locale,
                String key)

Get a message for the given key and locale

Parameters:

locale - the locale

key - the key

Returns:

a matching message if found; the key itself if no message is found

Throws:

NullPointerException - either the key or the locale is null

getMessage

public String getMessage(String key)

Return a message for a given key, using the JVM's current locale

Parameters:

key - the key

Returns:

a matching message if found; the key itself if no message is found

Throws:

NullPointerException - key is null

See Also:

Locale.getDefault(), Locale.setDefault(Locale)

printf

public String printf(Locale locale,
            String key,
            Object... params)

Get a locale-dependent printf()-like formatted message

This is essentially a call to String.format(Locale, String, Object...).

There is however one important difference: while String.format() will throw an IllegalFormatException if an argument is missing or a format specifier is incorrect, this method returns the format itself (or the key, like getMessage(Locale, String), if no match was found for that locale/key pair).

Parameters:

locale - the locale

key - the key

params - the format parameters

Returns:

the formatted message

See Also:

Formatter

printf

public String printf(String key,
            Object... params)

Get a printf()-like message with the default locale

This calls printf(Locale, String, Object...) with Locale.getDefault() as the first argument.

Parameters:

key - the key

params - the format parameters

Returns:

the formatted message

format

public String format(Locale locale,
            String key,
            Object... params)

Get a locale-dependent message formatted using MessageFormat

You should really consider using printf(Locale, String, Object...) instead.

Parameters:

locale - the locale

key - the key

params - the format parameters

Returns:

the formatted message

format

public String format(String key,
            Object... params)

Get a MessageFormat formatted message with the current default locale

You should really consider using printf(String, Object...) instead.

Parameters:

key - the key

params - the format parameters

Returns:

the formatted message

checkNotNull

public <T> T checkNotNull(T reference,
                 Locale locale,
                 String key)

Check an object reference for null and return it

If the reference is null, a NullPointerException is thrown, with its message set according to the given locale and key.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the reference

Parameters:

reference - the reference to check

locale - the locale to use

key - the key to use

Returns:

the reference

Throws:

NullPointerException - see description

See Also:

getMessage(Locale, String)

checkNotNull

public <T> T checkNotNull(T reference,
                 String key)

Check a reference for null and return it

This calls checkNotNull(Object, Locale, String) with the JVM's current locale.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the reference

Parameters:

reference - the reference to check

key - the key

Returns:

the reference

Throws:

NullPointerException - see description

checkArgument

public void checkArgument(boolean condition,
                 Locale locale,

IllegalArgumentException - see description
