My app is progressing happily (With no small thanks to you all) and I
have reached a point where I need to make a decision on something.
The app will present a customized script to be read, verbatim, to a
customer, based upon amounts paid, owed, dates, outstanding balances,
and what not. If you were going to do this, which approach would you take?
I am thinking I have two ways:
1. The message resources file that I use for everything else (field
labels, page headers, titles, etc). This has the extra advantage of
being easy to use for my i18n stuff as well. I am not sure though how
I would pass multiple variables in to a resource tag, and how I would
ensure that I get an acceptable level of grammar correctness (single
values vs multiple and what not).
2. I use a separate data file, and have the actions access that file as
a basis for building the script to be generated and then passing that
out on the response for the page to display. Using a DB instead of a
file is possible, but probably not warranted in this scenario. As for
i18n, would need to keep a separate file, and then just read from the
appropriate file based upon the locale.
Are either of these 'more' correct? Is there a 3rd or 4th option I have?
Suggestions? Comments? Help?
