public final class CResourceBundle
extends Object
implements Serializable

A list of resource bundles that represents itself as a single ResourceBundle.
The resource bundles will be searched from added last, to added first. This allows you to organize your properties files in a hierarchy. Add generic resource bundles first and more specific resource bundles later. Now get the resources you need without actually knowing which resource bundle actually contained the resource.
Note: All getters return an object on which no message attribute substitution has taken place (substitution of text within accolades). To perform this substitution the getMessage(...) method.

Constructor Detail

CResourceBundle

public CResourceBundle(String resourceBundleName)

Constructs this CResourceBundle from the supplied resourceBundleName, using the default locale.
You would normally use this constructor for properties files that contain configuration, independent of a locale.
All subsequent bundles added using addResourceBundles(String...) will use the same locale.

Parameters:

resourceBundleName - Name of the resource bundle file.
Supplying "org.josef.util.UtilMessages" would use the file org/josef/util/UtilMessages.properties.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - When the supplied resourceBundleName is empty.

MissingResourceException - When the resource bundle could not be located.

NullPointerException - When the supplied resourceBundleName is null.

CResourceBundle

public CResourceBundle(Locale locale)

Constructs this CResourceBundle with an empty list of resource bundles.

Parameters:

locale - The locale to localize the resources or null to use the default locale.

CResourceBundle

public CResourceBundle(Locale locale,
                       String resourceBundleName)

Constructs this CResourceBundle from the supplied locale and resourceBundleName.
All subsequent bundles added using addResourceBundles(String...) will use the same locale.

Parameters:

locale - The locale to localize the resources or null to use the default locale.

resourceBundleName - Name of the resource bundle file.
Supplying "org.josef.util.UtilMessages" would use the file org/josef/util/UtilMessages.properties.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - When the supplied resourceBundleName is empty.

MissingResourceException - When the resource bundle could not be located.

NullPointerException - When the supplied resourceBundleName is null.

Method Detail

addResourceBundles

public void addResourceBundles(String... resourceBundleNames)

Adds resource bundles by name, to the list of resource bundles.
Normally we can't access resource bundle names when loaded by another class loader but we try to get the class that called CResourceBundle's method and use the class loader of the calling class to circumvent this problem.

Parameters:

resourceBundleNames - The names of the resource bundles to add.
All added bundles probably should have the same locale as supplied at construction time but this is not checked.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - When the supplied resourceBundleNames is empty.

NullPointerException - When the supplied resourceBundleNames is null.

addResourceBundles

public void addResourceBundles(ResourceBundle... resourceBundles)

Adds resource bundles to the list of resource bundles.

Parameters:
