Chapter 4. Messages

There are currently two ways to create a message within the module.

The first would mostly be used when you don't want to add the generated message directly to the UI, but want to log it out, or store it somewhere else 

@Inject

MessageFactory factory;

 

public String getMessage()

{

     MessageBuilder builder = factory.info("There are {0} cars, and they are all {1}; {1} is the best color.", 5, "green");#

     return builder.build().getText();

}

The second is to add the message to a list that will be returned to the UI for display. 

@Inject

Messages messages;

 

public void setMessage()

{

     messages.info("There are {0} cars, and they are all {1}; {1} is the best color.", 5, "green");

}

Either of these methods supports the four message levels which are info, warning, error and fatal.

Both the MessageFactory and Messages classes support four ways in which to create a Message:

Examples for each of these are:

The above examples assume that there is a properties file existing at org.jboss.international.seam.test.TestBundle.properties with key1 being a simple text string and key2 including a single parameter.
