Interface KeyGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

FullyQualifiedMethodNameKeyGenerator, MD5KeyGenerator, MethodNameKeyGenerator

public interface KeyGenerator

Interface for key generation algorithms used by LocalizableResource implementations. Implementations of this interface are executed at compile time, and therefore must not contain any JSNI code.

generateKey

java.lang.String generateKey(java.lang.String className,
                             java.lang.String methodName,
                             java.lang.String text,
                             java.lang.String meaning)

Generates a key for a given method with its default text and meaning.

Parameters:

className - fully qualified name of the Messages/Constants subinterface

methodName - name of the method in the subinterface

text - default text to use if no translation is available, which may be null if no default text is supplied

meaning - extra text explaining the meaning of the text, or null if not needed

Returns:

the lookup key as a string or null if the key cannot be computed (for example, if text is null but this generator requires it)
