public abstract class ShadowResourceBundle
extends java.util.ResourceBundle

ShadowResourceBundle is an abstract base class for ResourceBundle classes which are backed by a properties file. When the class is created, it loads a properties file with the same name as the class.

In the standard scheme (see ResourceBundle), if you call ResourceBundle.getBundle(java.lang.String)("foo.MyResource"), it first looks for a class called foo.MyResource, then looks for a file called foo/MyResource.properties. If it finds the file, it creates a PropertyResourceBundle and loads the class. The problem is if you want to load the .properties file into a dedicated class; ShadowResourceBundle helps with this case.

You should create a class as follows:

package foo;
class MyResource extends org.eigenbase.resgen.ShadowResourceBundle {
    public MyResource() throws java.io.IOException {
    }
}

Then when you call ResourceBundle.getBundle("foo.MyResource"), it will find the class before the properties file, but still automatically load the properties file based upon the name of the class.

ShadowResourceBundle

protected ShadowResourceBundle()
                        throws java.io.IOException

Creates a ShadowResourceBundle, and reads resources from a .properties file with the same name as the current class. For example, if the class is called foo.MyResource_en_US, reads from foo/MyResource_en_US.properties, then foo/MyResource_en.properties, then foo/MyResource.properties.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

getKeys

public java.util.Enumeration getKeys()

Specified by:

getKeys in class java.util.ResourceBundle

handleGetObject

protected java.lang.Object handleGetObject(java.lang.String key)
                                    throws java.util.MissingResourceException

Specified by:

handleGetObject in class java.util.ResourceBundle

Throws:

java.util.MissingResourceException

instance

protected static java.util.ResourceBundle instance(java.lang.String baseName)

Deprecated. This method does not work correctly in dynamically loaded jars.

Returns the instance of the baseName resource bundle for the current thread's locale. For example, if called with "mondrian.olap.MondrianResource", from a thread which has called setThreadLocale(java.util.Locale)(Locale.FRENCH), will get an instance of "mondrian.olap.MondrianResource_FR" from the cache.

This method should be called from a derived class, with the proper casting:

class MyResource extends ShadowResourceBundle {
    ...
    /**
      * Retrieves the instance of {@link MyResource} appropriate
      * to the current locale. If this thread has specified a locale
      * by calling {@link #setThreadLocale}, this locale is used,
      * otherwise the default locale is used.
      **/
    public static MyResource instance() {
       return (MyResource) instance(MyResource.class.getName());
    }
    ...
 }

Deprecated. This method does not work correctly in dynamically loaded jars.

Returns the instance of the baseName resource bundle for the given locale.

This method should be called from a derived class, with the proper casting:

    public static MyResource instance(Locale locale) {
       return (MyResource) instance(MyResource.class.getName(), locale);
    }

                                               java.util.ResourceBundle bundle)

Returns the instance of the baseName resource bundle for the given locale.
