internationalizing flash messages.

[Josh Kamau]

Hi ;

I am trying to resolve flash message text from the activeweb_messages.properties. 

In the controller, i have 'flash("message", "member.invalidUsername");'

in the messages i have 'member.invalidUsername=Your username is invalid.'

In the view, i have: <@flash name="message"/>   

Its displaying  "member.invalidUsername" and not the message in the properties file. Am i making a mistake?

Josh, the FlashTag is not internationalized. However, you can do this using one of two methods.

Lets say your activeweb_messages_properties file contains this entry:

book_added=A book {0} was added to your library. Author: {1}

Method 1: Use class Messages in controller:

In controller:

      flash("saved", Messages.message("book_added", bookName, author ));

In view: 

      <@flash name="saved" />


This will print:  

       A book Hunger Games was added to your library. Author: Suzanne Collins

Method 2: Use MessageTag:

In controller:

      flash("saved");

In view: 

   <@flash name="saved">

      <@message key="book_added"/>

   </@flash>

This will print: 

    

    A book {0} was added to your library. Author: {1}

Method 1 should be used when you have parametrized messages. There is no way to pass a parameter to the MessageTag in method 2, because it is running in a different request (after redirect).

Choose a method that most appropriate for your app

I added this to the docs:
