Class Message.Builder

java.lang.Object

org.faktorips.runtime.Message.Builder

Enclosing class:

Message

public static class Message.Builder
extends Object

A builder for the Message class. This builder has been designed due to heavy constructor overloading with many parameters. It helps instantiating global variables of Message.

To use the builder simply create an instance by calling the Message(String, Severity) or by calling one of the static creation methods like Message.error(String), Message.warning(String) or Message.info(String). Afterwards add needed information to the builder for example call invalidObjectWithProperties(Object object, String... properties) to provide some invalid object properties. When the builder has every information that is needed to create a proper message call create().

Message.error(String), Message.warning(String), Message.info(String)
