Method Detail

handleGetObject

protected Object handleGetObject(String key)

This implementation resolves the code in the MessageSource. Returns null if the message could not be resolved.

Specified by:

handleGetObject in class ResourceBundle

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(String key)

This implementation checks whether the target MessageSource can resolve a message for the given key, translating NoSuchMessageException accordingly. In contrast to ResourceBundle's default implementation in JDK 1.6, this does not rely on the capability to enumerate message keys.

Overrides:

containsKey in class ResourceBundle

getKeys

public Enumeration<String> getKeys()

This implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException, as a MessageSource does not allow for enumerating the defined message codes.

Specified by:

getKeys in class ResourceBundle

getLocale

public Locale getLocale()

This implementation exposes the specified Locale for introspection through the standard ResourceBundle.getLocale() method.

Overrides:

getLocale in class ResourceBundle
