Class Localizer

  • public class Localizer
extends Object
    A utility class that encapsulates all of the localization related functionality in a way that it can be accessed by all areas of the framework in a consistent way. A singleton instance of this class is available via the Application object.

    You may register additional IStringResourceLoader to extend or replace Wickets default search strategy for the properties. E.g. string resource loaders which load the properties from a database. There should be hardly any need to extend Localizer.

      • getString

        public String getString​(String key,
                        Component component,

                 throws MissingResourceException
        Get the localized string using all of the supplied parameters. This method is left public to allow developers full control over string resource loading. However, it is recommended that one of the other convenience methods in the class are used as they handle all of the work related to obtaining the current user locale and style information.
        Parameters:
        key - The key to obtain the resource for
        component - The component to get the resource for (optional)
        model - The model to use for substitutions in the strings (optional)
        locale - If != null, it'll supersede the component's locale
        style - If != null, it'll supersede the component's style
        defaultValue - The default value (optional)
        Returns:
        The string resource
        Throws:
        MissingResourceException - If resource not found and configuration dictates that exception should be thrown

      • getStringIgnoreSettings

        public String getStringIgnoreSettings​(String key,
                                      Component component,

                                      String defaultValue)
        This is similar to getString(String, Component, IModel, String) except that the resource settings are ignored. This allows to to code something like 
         String option = getLocalizer().getStringIgnoreSettings(getId() + ".null", this, "");
 if (Strings.isEmpty(option))
 {
        option = getLocalizer().getString("null", this, CHOOSE_ONE);
 }

        key - The key to obtain the resource for
        component - The component to get the resource for (optional)
        model - The model to use for substitutions in the strings (optional)
        locale - If != null, it'll supersede the component's locale
        style - If != null, it'll supersede the component's style
        defaultValue - The default value (optional)
        Returns:
        The string resource
