I'd like to, but I still fail to see how that is possible.
{
PageObject aPage = new PageObject();
aPage.setEnglishTitle("Some weird title that's not in a properties file");
}
aPage is unable to return any key that would contain that string in a resource
bundle.

You could do that, but I would recommend using Tapestry's i18n support.

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,
How are you going to "localize" them, then? What are you going to use to
look up their names based on the Locale?

The names are dynamic at runtime, so they might not have message keys. :(

Instead of having the PageObject return you its name, why not have it return
you it's message key, so you can look up its name?

I would but I don't see how.
aPage is a POJO (a class PageObject)
Ideally, PageObject would have
String getName()
{
if (getLocale() == ...)
return getNameA();
else if (...)
return getNameB();
}
However, it has no access to the engine or pages 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.

Sounds a bit convoluted to me. Why can't you use Tapestry's i18n support?

Subject: Setting an OGNL variable
Is there a way to set a variable using OGNL? 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
