Interface LocalizationManager

@Role
public interface LocalizationManager

Properties are looked for in several bundles, in the order of their priority. The first translation found in one of these bundles is the one returned. If the property is not found in any of these sources, then null is returned.

Registers a resource location as a possible localization bundle that should be used in the current execution.

Each execution (generally a client request) has its own list of pulled resources, and at the end of an execution, its list of pulled resources is cleared.

Parameters:

bundleType - a hint identifying the bundle type.

bundleId - the identifier of the bindle, for example a wiki document name, or the name of a .properties resource bundle.

Throws:

TranslationBundleDoesNotExistsException - when no bundle could be found for the passed identifier

TranslationBundleFactoryDoesNotExistsException - when no bundle factory could be found for the passed type
