Hi Jon, I have/had the same problem. I just wrote a wrapper for the Dictionary class. I'm surprised I couldn't find an easy way to do it. You can try this code if you want, although I don't guarantee its correctness or quality. It works like the dictionary class with the addition of the get(<name>, <values+>) method:
package net.timp.gwtmaps.client; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Set; import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.Dictionary; public class PlaceholderDictionary { private static Map<String, PlaceholderDictionary> cache = new HashMap<String, PlaceholderDictionary>(); private Dictionary dictionary; public static PlaceholderDictionary getDictionary(java.lang.String name) { PlaceholderDictionary target = cache.get(name); if (target == null) { target = new PlaceholderDictionary(name); cache.put(name, target); } return target; } private PlaceholderDictionary(String name) { dictionary = Dictionary.getDictionary(name); } public String get(String key) { return dictionary.get(key); } public String get(String key, String ... values) { String string = dictionary.get(key); int i = 0; for ( String value : values ) { string = string.replace("{" + i + "}", value); } return string; } public Set<String> keySet() { return dictionary.keySet(); } public Collection<String> values() { return dictionary.values(); } @Override public String toString() { return dictionary.toString(); } } On Nov 13, 7:56 pm, Jon Vaughan <jsvaug...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Just a quick query - is it possible to do placeholder substitution > with messages obtained from a Dictionary? i..e into something like: > > permissionDenied = Error {0}: User {1} Permission denied. > > I couldn't see anything obvious in the doc or forums; does a > Dictionary link in any way to a Messages instance? > > Thanks > > Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
