Annotation Type MessageTemplate

@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface MessageTemplate

Provides the message (template) for type-safe messages.

This only works on interfaces which are annotated with MessageBundle.

Depending on the MessageResolver this message template value might be used as key to lookup internationalized values from a ResourceBundle.

A MessageTemplate value which starts and ends with brackets '{', '}' will be interpreted as key for resolving from a ResourceBundle or any other lookup mechanism determined by the MessageResolver. A small example:

 @MessageTemplate("{welcome_to}")
 

This will lookup a welcome_to = Hello to Aruba from the configured resource bundle.

MessageTemplate values without '{', '}' bracelets will be directly used without resource lookup.
