You could do that, but I would recommend using Tapestry's i18n support. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Cormier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 10:54 AM To: Tapestry users Subject: RE: Setting an OGNL variable
Because PageObject definately has an englishName and frenchName. So I can always call getEnglishName() and getFrenchName(). The value of those is a String, but the actual value is unknown. Right now, I'll use an If statement. So If the locale is English, I'll do 3 more if statements and use @Insert's with "ognl:aPage.englishName". Then the next If, I'll check if the locale is French, and then have the 3 more if statements using inserts with "ognl:aPage.frenchName". Hmm, would it be possible to pass the locale in that ognl expression? Something like <span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:aPage.title(getLocale())" /> Greg -----Original Message----- From: James Carman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 10:08 AM To: 'Tapestry users' Subject: RE: Setting an OGNL variable Greg, How are you going to "localize" them, then? What are you going to use to look up their names based on the Locale?

I'm open to suggestions. I thought of putting a constructor in PageObject to pass in the locale, but the thing is, it's created once, regardless of the language. Having it created for each language would be useless. So, I need a way to get this POJO to be able to access the engine's locale somehow, or, I need to work around it myself.

Here's my situation. I'm looping over a collection, and I use a property a lot. Depending on certain conditions I output it in different ways. This is a block of code from my header HTML file : <span jwcid="@If" condition="ognl:normalItem"> <li><a jwcid="@PageLink" page="ognl:aPage.title"><span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:aPage.englishName" /></a> </span> <span jwcid="@If" condition="ognl:selectedItem"> <li class="clsItemSelected"><span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:aPage.englishName" /> </span> <span jwcid="@If" condition="ognl:aPage.noLink"> <li class="normal"><span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:aPage.englishName" /> </span> Now I want to add some i18n to this. So instead of using englishName, I might use frenchName. This aPage is a POJO, so I can't just call a getName() and have it call getLocale() or anything. So, what I want to do, in Pseudo code : --- if (languageA) pageName = aPage.languageA; if (languageB) pageName = aPage.languageB; if (languageC) pageName = aPage.languageC; <insert 3 spans from above, using value="ognl:pageName"> --- This might be a little confusing but hopefully someone is able to follow this :) Thanks, Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
