public class IndexedResourceBundle extends ResourceBundle
ResourceBundle implementation using integers instead of strings for resource keys. Because it doesn't use strings, this implementation avoids adding all those string constants to .class files and runtime images. Developers still have meaningful labels in their code (e.g. DIMENSION_MISMATCH) through a set of constants defined in interfaces. This approach furthermore gives the benefit of compile-time safety. Because integer constants are inlined right into class files at compile time, the declarative interface is never loaded at run time. This class also provides facilities for string formatting using MessageFormat.

  • Constructor Details

    • IndexedResourceBundle

      protected IndexedResourceBundle()
      Constructs a new resource bundle. The resource filename will be inferred from the fully qualified classname of this IndexedResourceBundle subclass.
    • IndexedResourceBundle

      protected IndexedResourceBundle(String filename)
      Constructs a new resource bundle.
      Parameters:
      filename - The resource name containing resources. It may be a filename or an entry in a JAR file.
  • Method Details

    • list

      public final void list(Writer out) throws IOException
      Lists resources to the specified stream. If a resource has more than one line, only the first line will be written. This method is used mostly for debugging purposes.
      Parameters:
      out - The destination stream.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an output operation failed.
    • getKeys

      public final Enumeration<String> getKeys()
      Returns an enumeration of the keys.
      Specified by:
      getKeys in class ResourceBundle
    • handleGetObject

      protected final Object handleGetObject(String key)
      Gets an object for the given key from this resource bundle. Returns null if this resource bundle does not contain an object for the given key.
      Specified by:
      handleGetObject in class ResourceBundle
      Parameters:
      key - the key for the desired object
      Returns:
      the object for the given key, or null
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if key is null
    • getMenuLabel

      public final String getMenuLabel(int key) throws MissingResourceException
      Gets a string for the given key and appends "..." to it. This method is typically used for creating menu items.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the desired string.
      Returns:
      The string for the given key.
      Throws:
      MissingResourceException - If no object for the given key can be found.
    • getLabel

      public final String getLabel(int key) throws MissingResourceException
      Gets a string for the given key and appends ": " to it. This method is typically used for creating labels.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the desired string.
      Returns:
      The string for the given key.
      Throws:
      MissingResourceException - If no object for the given key can be found.
    • getString

      public final String getString(int key) throws MissingResourceException
      Gets a string for the given key from this resource bundle or one of its parents.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the desired string.
      Returns:
      The string for the given key.
      Throws:
      MissingResourceException - If no object for the given key can be found.
    • getString

      public final String getString(int key, Object arg0) throws MissingResourceException
      Gets a string for the given key and formats it with the specified argument. The message is formatted using MessageFormat. Calling this method is approximately equivalent to calling:
         String pattern = getString(key);
         Format f = new MessageFormat(pattern);
         return f.format(arg0);
       
      If arg0 is not already an array, it will be placed into an array of length 1. Using MessageFormat, all occurrences of "{0}", "{1}", "{2}" in the resource string will be replaced by arg0[0], arg0[1], arg0[2], etc.
      Parameters:
      key - The key for the desired string.
      arg0 - A single object or an array of objects to be formatted and substituted.
      Returns:
      The string for the given key.
      Throws:
      MissingResourceException - If no object for the given key can be found.
