Juergen Donnerstag commented on WICKET-2713: -------------------------------------------- a little bit of digging (no judgement whether it is right or wrong) markup resources are loaded via MarkupContainer.getAssociatedMarkupStream() MarkupCache.getMarkupStream(container, enforceReload, throwException); MarkupCache.getMarkup(container, clazz, enforceReload) get IMarkupResourceStreamProvider (lets assume DefaultMarkupResourceStreamProvider) get ResourceStreamLocator from application setting iterate over class hierarchie locator.locate(container.getClass(), path (based on real class), style, locale, ext); iterate over all possible combinations of style and locale to find the file Properties: Component.getString(xx) Localizer.getString(key, component, model, defaultValue) iterate over all StringResourceLoaders registered with application settings loader.loadStringResource(component, key) lets assume ComponentStringResourceLoader loadStringResource(Class<?> clazz, final String key, final Locale locale, final String style) iterate over possible combinations of locale and style PropertiesFactory (application setting iterate over properties loader (support different formats such .properties, .xml, etc.) ResourceStreamLocator() (application setting) locator.locate(clazz, fullPath); as you can see the main functional difference is that with properties we also need to check different file extensions. And we decided that the extension should take preference over the locale,style and class. This still doesn't mean that the ResourceLocator couldn't be refactored and enhanced to provide the additional functionality though. And your explanation / expection seem reasonable / logical to me. Feel free to provide a patch (with all tests working, so no changes in functional behavior) and I'm happy to consider it.

Why are .properties files not located in the same way as > .html? I've overridden: > [ResourceStreamLocator] > public IResourceStream locate( Class<?> clazz, String aPath, String aStyle, > Locale aLocale, String anExtension ) > I notice that property file locating doesn't invoke this method, but only > invokes the lesser arg version with the style/variation/locale already > embedded in the path. This is an inconvenience for me because I'm trying to > inspect the style during location. Perhaps I shouldn't be doing what I'm > trying to do, but after reading the docs, I expected locating to work the way > it does for .html, but .properties threw me. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
