Hi,
I have a form validation file which shows a serie of error messages to the user, if the conditions specified are false. But we need to make that error messages multi-language. There is any way to use a key from customerstrings.properties file on the jsp validation form file?
I've tried this but didn't work.
Error message example:
Thanks in advance.
Hi Pradeep,
Many thanks for the help. I've tried your slution with a few variations but It only returns the keys of the english file. I'm not able to make the code to return the key in the current ui language. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Customerstrings.properties file is for English custom properties. Localized custom properties go in a different file. In the Help window search for “Localize a Custom Attribute”. You will details on how to do it.
Hi Avinash,
Maybe I wasn't enough clear on my explanation. I already know what you say, thats why we have a customerstrings_locale.properties for each language in our company. So what I need, is to recover on my jsp file the current locale selected by the user, to display the correct language message.
Thanks.
Try calling this method instead on the resource manager.
resMgr.getCustomerString("KEY");Here is a working JSP code that will address your requirement.
I have not analyzed this code for performance implications i.e. cost of instantiating ResMgr class. So use this after due diligence.
<%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.core.MainManager" %>
<%@ page import="com.aveksa.gui.util.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Locale" %>
<%
Locale loc = (Locale) request.getSession().getAttribute("UserLocale");
out.println("<Br>Locale = " + loc);
ResMgr resMgr = ResMgr.getInstance(loc);
String copyright = resMgr.getString("COPYRIGHT");
out.println("<BR>COPYRIGHT " + copyright);
String location = resMgr.getString("Location");
out.println("<BR>Location " + location);
%>My default browser language is English
Changed my language option to Spanish
P.S. I have these messages loaded via customerstring.properties file.
For all purposes your validation JSP is nothing but a standalone JSP and hence wont leverage the customerstrings.properties. IGL uses resource bundles to load language specific strings and probably if you use the same resource bundles (not sure how simple) in your JSPs you should be able to achieve the functionality.
I have not tested this but this could work.
