Message Catalog Formats
Internationalization Guide 2-5
An example of a method attribute for the above message is as follows:
-method=“logNoFile(String name, String path)”
The message expects two arguments, {0} and {1} :
„ {0} is used in the message body.
„ Both are used in the message detail.
„ Neither is used in the <cause> or <action> section.
In addition, the arguments are expected to be strings, or representable as strings.
Numeric data is represented as
{n,number} . Dates are supported as {n,date} . You
must assign a severity level for log messages. Log messages are generated through the
generated
Logger methods, as defined by the method attribute.
Message Catalog Formats
The catalog format for top-level and locale-specific catalog files is slightly different.
The top-level catalogs define the textual messages for the base locale. Locale-specific
catalogs only provide translations of text defined in the top-level version. Log message
catalogs are defined differently from simple text catalogs.
Elements of each of these types of catalogs are described in the following sections:
„ Elements of a Log Message Catalog
„ Elements of a Simple Text Message Catalog
„ Elements of a Locale-Specific Catalog
Elements of a Log Message Catalog
This section provides reference information for the following elements of a log
