Class ExtendedMessageFormat

java.lang.Object

java.text.Format

java.text.MessageFormat

humanize.text.ExtendedMessageFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MessageFormat

public class ExtendedMessageFormat
extends MessageFormat

Extends java.text.MessageFormat to allow pluggable/additional formatting options for embedded format elements. Client code should specify a registry of FormatFactory instances associated with String format names. This registry will be consulted when the format elements are parsed from the message pattern. In this way custom patterns can be specified, and the formats supported by java.text.MessageFormat can be overridden at the format and/or format style level (see MessageFormat). A "format element" embedded in the message pattern is specified (()? signifies optionality):
{argument-number(, format-name (,format-style)?)? }

format-name and format-style values are trimmed of surrounding whitespace in the manner of java.text.MessageFormat. If format-name denotes FormatFactory formatFactoryInstance in registry, a Format matching format-name and format-style is requested from formatFactoryInstance. If this is successful, the Format found is used for this format element.

Limitations inherited from java.text.MessageFormat:

• When using "choice" subformats, support for nested formatting instructions is limited to that provided by the base class.
• Thread-safety of Formats, including MessageFormat and thus ExtendedMessageFormat, is not guaranteed.
