public class MessageCatalog
extends Object

A message catalog is a collection of property files that store paired sets of keyed messages. The MessageCatalog exposes an API for accessing catalog messages. Each message catalog property file obeys the following naming convention:

namespace_[language]_[country]_[variant].properties

The namespace describes the type of messages contained in the property file, whereas the language, country, and variant describe a locale (as represented by the Locale). In order to expose the messages contained in a message catalog property file, the file must be included in the classpath.

Each property file contains zero or more lines of the following format:

messageKey.user=[user message]
messageKey.log=[log message]

Both the user and log messages are a description of the message itself; however, the user message text is targeted at developers, whereas the log message text is targeted at application administrators. Both the user and log messages may contain parameter substitution tags for supporting dynamic message parameter substitution. To do so, use substitution tags of the form described in the documentation for MessageFormat.

Example:

message1.log=Could not access account {1,number,integer}.
