public Object getArgument(int index)

Deprecated. use NlsMessage.getArgument(String)

This method gets the Argument for the given index.

Specified by:

Returns:

the argument at the given index or null if no such argument exists.

getArgumentCount

Returns:

the argument count.

getLocalizedMessage

public String getLocalizedMessage()

This method tries to get the localized message as string using the default Locale.
ATTENTION:
If possible try to avoid using this method and use NlsMessage.getLocalizedMessage(Locale) instead.

Specified by:

getLocalizedMessage in interface NlsMessage

Returns:

the localized message.

getLocalizedMessage

public String getLocalizedMessage(Locale locale)

This method gets the message localized to the given Locale as string. If this fails for whatever reason, the untranslated message will be returned as fallback.

Specified by:

getLocalizedMessage in interface NlsMessage

Parameters:

locale - is the locale to translate to.

getLocalizedMessage

public void getLocalizedMessage(Locale locale,
                                Appendable buffer)

This method writes the localized message to the given buffer.
The actual localization is done by a template that is provided via the given resolver. If this fails, the original message will be used. After translation is done, the language independent arguments will be filled in the translated message string according to the given locale.

Specified by:

getLocalizedMessage in interface NlsMessage

Parameters:

locale - is the locale to translate to.

buffer - is the buffer where to write the message to.

getLocalizedMessage

public String getLocalizedMessage(Locale locale,
                                  NlsTemplateResolver resolver)

This method gets the localized message as string.

Specified by:

Parameters:

locale - is the locale to translate to.

resolver - is used to translate the message.

Returns:

the localized message.
