Dynamic Messages

[Ciaran Hanley <ci...@sentenial.ie>]

Hey,

 

Can ActionMessages/ActionErrors be created dynamically or do they always
need to read from a resource file.

 

I would like a more meaningful message shown when something is added to the
DB, like instead of "Client successfully added" I would like "Joe Bloggs
details have been added". Can this be done using these classes?

 

Thanks

Messages from your resource file can have parameters.

Resource file:
user.added={0} successfully added

Action:
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, 
  new ActionError("user.added", bean.name));

messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, 
  new ActionMessage("user.added", bean.name));

You could have as many parameters as you want. For example:
detail.line={0} of {1} was added on {2}
