How to localize a Wicket message in Java code?

Question

I follow this example: https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/everything-about-wicket-internationalization.html but I didnt found how to create localization message in java code.

My situation is:

try {

...

} catch (RuntimeException e) {
  // depends on language log message and show it in feedbackPanel
  error("");
}

I know I can add there some switch because I can get current locale but I dont think this is clear solution. I want to solve it througt Page.lanugage.properties where I have all localization messages

Answer 1

Wicket provides a getString() on Component that does proper localisation.

In your example:

try {

 ...

} catch (RuntimeException e) {
    // depends on language log message and show it in feedbackPanel
    error(getString("some.property.id"));
}

Where some.property.id gets loaded via Wickets property loader from a property file.
