Messages

The {@link oajr.annotation.RestResource#messages @RestResource(messages)} annotation is used to associate a resource bundle with a servlet class.

// Servlet with associated resource bundle @RestResource(messages="nls/MyMessages") public MyRestServlet extends BasicRestServlet { // Returns the localized greeting from the "greeting" key in MyMessages.properties @RestMethod(name=GET, path="/") public String printLocalizedGreeting(RestRequest req) { return req.getMessage("greeting"); }

The resource bundle can also be passed into the method by simply specifying a parameter of type {@link java.util.ResourceBundle} or {@link oaj.utils.MessageBundle}:

@RestMethod(name=GET) public String printLocalizedGreeting(MessageBundle messages) { return messages.getString("greeting"); }

If a resource bundle is shared by multiple servlets, the label and description can be prefixed by the class name:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Contents of MyMessages.properties #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- greeting = Hello!

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Contents of shared MyMessages.properties #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MyRestServlet.greeting = Hello!
