Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getLabel(Locale locale, String key) Returns the label of the specified key for the specified locale, or null if not found.
String	getLabel(String key) Returns the label of the specified key for the current locale, or null if not found.
Map<String,Object>	getSegmentedLabels() Returns a map of segmented labels for the current locale (never null).
Map<String,Object>	getSegmentedLabels(Locale locale) Returns a map of segmented labels for the specified locale (never null).
void	register(LabelLocator locator) Registers a locator which is used to load the Locale-dependent labels from other resource, such as servlet contexts.
void	register(LabelLocator2 locator) Registers a locator which is used to load the Locale-dependent labels from other resource, such as database.
void	reset() Resets all cached labels and next call to getLabel(java.lang.String) will cause re-loading the Locale-dependent labels.
VariableResolver	setVariableResolver(VariableResolver resolv) Sets the variable resolver, which is used if an EL expression is specified.

Method Detail

getLabel

public String getLabel(String key)

Returns the label of the specified key for the current locale, or null if not found.

See Also:

getSegmentedLabels()

getLabel

public String getLabel(Locale locale,
              String key)

Returns the label of the specified key for the specified locale, or null if not found.

Since:

5.0.7

getSegmentedLabels

public Map<String,Object> getSegmentedLabels()

Returns a map of segmented labels for the current locale (never null). Unlike getLabel(java.lang.String), if a key of the label contains dot, it will be split into multiple keys and then grouped into map. It is so-called segmented.

For example, the following property file will parsed into a couple of maps, and getSegmentedLabels() returns a map containing a single entry. The entry's key is "a" and the value is another map with two entries "b" and "c". And, the value for "b" is another two-entries map (containing "c" and "d").

 a.b.c=1
 a.b.d=2
 a.e=3

This method is designed to make labels easier to be accessed in EL expressions.

On the other hand, getLabel(java.lang.String) does not split them, and you could access them by, say, getLabel("a.b.d").

Since:

5.0.7

getSegmentedLabels

public Map<String,Object> getSegmentedLabels(Locale locale)

Returns a map of segmented labels for the specified locale (never null). Refer to getSegmentedLabels() for details.

Since:

5.0.7

setVariableResolver

public VariableResolver setVariableResolver(VariableResolver resolv)

Sets the variable resolver, which is used if an EL expression is specified.

Since:

3.0.0

register

public void register(LabelLocator locator)

Registers a locator which is used to load the Locale-dependent labels from other resource, such as servlet contexts.

register

public void register(LabelLocator2 locator)

Registers a locator which is used to load the Locale-dependent labels from other resource, such as database.

Since:

5.0.5

reset

public void reset()

Resets all cached labels and next call to getLabel(java.lang.String) will cause re-loading the Locale-dependent labels.
