[Trinidad] How to use one's own (Text) resources instead of the built-in ones

[wo...@pta.de]

Hi,

Regarding the use of our own text resources e.g. using our own label for 
Trinidad's showDetail table label (whichin German we found to be too 
long.. ;)
I suppose I could go any time to the trinidad JAR package and replace the 
texts by our own ones.

But this is not the way I would like. Rather, I would prefer a solution 
where I could somehow redirect the classpath used by the ResourceServlet 
to our own messages resources. Is there a setter method somewhere or how 
would I accomplish that?

Thanks a lot,
Wolfgang.

You can see in the trinidad-skins.xml in the demo bundle how you can
add a resource bundle name:
<skin>
<id>
purple.desktop
</id>
<family>
purple
</family>
<render-kit-id>
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop
</render-kit-id>
<style-sheet-name>
skins/purple/purpleSkin.css
</style-sheet-name>
<bundle-name>
org.apache.myfaces.trinidaddemo.resource.SkinBundle
</bundle-name>
</skin>

And the resource bundle code looks like this:

package org.apache.myfaces.trinidaddemo.resource;

import java.util.ListResourceBundle;

public class SkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle
{
@Override
public Object[][] getContents()
{
return _CONTENTS;
}

static private final Object[][] _CONTENTS =
{
{"af_tableSelectMany.SELECT_COLUMN_HEADER", "Select A Lot"},
{"af_tableSelectOne.SELECT_COLUMN_HEADER", "Select Just One"},
// add what ever "label" you want to replace
};
}
