BackBean Property : Assigning default value from message_xx.prop

elnino Mar 30, 2008 11:48 PM

Hello,

I spent my all day on a form....

I didn't see anything in the documentation or forum that could solve my problem.
Or I haven't got enough knowledge to find what I'am looking for...

I have RichFaces SuggestionBox.

Instead of having a label outside the inputText,
I would like to get it IN the input text as default value.

With Javascript, I will erase it when the user goes in the field. (I have found code that do that)

My problem is that the input value is connected to a back bean as this

<h:inputText value="#{myCoolBackBean.myProperty}" />

If I initialize myProperty attribute with a String value : It's working....

Now....
How, I want that the default value in the internationalisation files (messagesXX.properties...) ?

Is there a way to initialize the Java attributes with an external string defined in internationalisation files ?

Hope so...
If not .... Any idea to do what I want (pre-filled input with auto-erase value)?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Paul

Hello,

I have found my answer. The night was good. Yesterday, several hours on this. Today : 10 minutes !

/** * Disco time ! */ private String daddyCool = ResourceBundle.instance().getString("ShesCrazyLikeAFool");

1 bad thing: If the key is not found, the Bean cannot be created and involve a crash.

I will put it in the constructor to see if I can catch the exception.

Thanks for people who have read this topic.

Paul
