Class MsgReplacementParameter

java.lang.Object

org.faktorips.runtime.MsgReplacementParameter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class MsgReplacementParameter
extends Object
implements Serializable

When creating a message the text might be created by replacing parameters (or placeholders) with concrete values, e.g. "The sum insured must be at least {minSumInsured}." where {minSumInsured} is replaced with the current minimum e.g. 200 Euro. If you need to represent the user a different text, you need the actual value for the parameter. To archieve this the message holds the parameters along with their actual value.

The following are scenarios where you might need to present a different text for a message:

• You have limited space available for the text, for example if your display is a terminal.
• You present the text to a different user group, e.g. internet users instead of your backoffice employees.
