Class Resources

java.lang.Object

org.apache.taglibs.standard.resources.Resources

public class Resources
extends Object

Provides locale-neutral access to string resources. Only the documentation and code are in English. :-)

The major goal, aside from globalization, is convenience. Access to resources with no parameters is made in the form:

     Resources.getMessage(MESSAGE_NAME);
 

Access to resources with one parameter works like

     Resources.getMessage(MESSAGE_NAME, arg1);
 

... and so on.
