Method Detail

getResolver

public static Resolver getResolver()

Return the current Resolver for this VM. This is done as an optimization as the resolver can cache previous request so that it may be able to run quicker.

setPath

public void setPath(java.lang.String p)

setMapResourceFileName

public static void setMapResourceFileName(java.lang.String fileName)

Sets the map resource filename default is /resources/resource.map : Note : Before calling any resource mapping programmer first has to call this if they do not like the default value. Once any resouce has been mapped then setting this value will not have any effect because all resources has been loaded in memory

Parameters:

fileName -

resolveMessage

public java.io.InputStream resolveMessage(java.lang.String msg)

Find a message bundle.

resolveMenu

public java.io.InputStream resolveMenu(java.lang.String name)

Find a menu file

resolveScreen

public java.lang.String resolveScreen(java.lang.String name)

Find a screen file

resolveImage

public java.io.InputStream resolveImage(java.lang.String name)

Find an image. IMPORTANT - Unlike other resolver methods, this requires the entire name of the file INCLUDING extension. Images are ALWAYS in the resources/images directory.

resolveDoclink

public java.io.InputStream resolveDoclink(java.lang.String name)

Find a doclink image. IMPORTANT - Unlike other resolver methods, this requires the entire name of the file INCLUDING extension.

resolveTextFile

public java.io.InputStream resolveTextFile(java.lang.String name)

Find a generic file given the name. Name parameters includes the file extension.

isApp

public static boolean isApp()

Is the class currently running as an application, i.e. was it started thru main(). The main method should call isApp(true) for this to work.

isApp

public static void isApp(boolean state)

Call with true from main to inform other applications that this is an application, not just an applet

setApplet

public void setApplet(java.applet.Applet ap)

Set pointer to applet. Called in the init() of applet

getApplet

public java.applet.Applet getApplet()

return the appet that is running

getMessage

public Message getMessage(java.lang.String bundle,
                          java.lang.String key)

Return a message with the specified key from the specified bundle. The message returned will always be in base language. This will throw exception if it is called from the client side directly. You have to use MboRemote or MboSetRemote's getMessage() method to retrieve message from the client side.

getTaggedMessage

public Message getTaggedMessage(java.lang.String bundle,
                                java.lang.String key)

Called from MXException This message will tag the group and key information also Return a message with the specified key from the specified bundle. The message returned will always be in base language. This will throw exception if it is called from the client side directly. You have to use MboRemote or MboSetRemote's getMessage() method to retrieve message from the client side.
