Interface L10nPathCompilerI

All Known Implementing Classes:

BOT.BOClassesPathCompiler

public interface L10nPathCompilerI

Interface for compiling path elements from participants for localization (L10n) resource lookup.

Implementations of this interface provide a mechanism to transform a participant to path elements for the L10n resource lookup process. This allows for customization of the lookup path based on the specific context or requirements.

Example 1: The LesezeichenPathCompiler takes a Lesezeichen as a participant for compiling the path elements. If the Lesezeichen defines a BO type it applies to, the class represented by that BO type is returned, together with the Lesezeichen class itself.

Example 2: The BOT.BOClassesPathCompiler calculates the path elements from a BO class by determining all other classes "belonging" to the same entity, such as aspect classes from modules or within a project and the generated base class. This ensures that looking up the l10n packs for translations in the context of that BO type works correctly.

Constant Field Values

EMPTY_ARRAY

static final L10nPathCompilerI[] EMPTY_ARRAY

An empty array of L10nPathCompilerI-s.

Method Detail

isValidParticipant

boolean isValidParticipant(java.lang.Object participant)

Checks if the given participant is valid for this compiler.

Parameters:

participant - The participant to check.

Returns:

true if the participant is valid, false otherwise.

compileParticipantToPathElements

java.lang.Object[] compileParticipantToPathElements(java.lang.Object participant)

Compiles the path elements to use for a participant within the localization (L10n) lookup.

This method transforms a participant object into an array of path elements, which are used to determine the lookup path for L10n resources. The returned elements should not contain strings, as string processing occurs at the end of the lookup process in L10n#addStringParticipant.

Parameters:

participant - The participant object to compile.

Returns:

An array of compiled path elements.
