How to display a message resource value using an argument via <h:outputText>

[Daniel Haupt]

Hi there,

I'm using <h:outputText> to display messages from my resource bundles, e.g. in the following way:

<h:outputText value="#{msgs['attachmentsMilestone']}" />

My question now is: I have a message in my bundle using an argument, something like

attachmentsMilestone=Attachments for milestone {0}

How can I replace the {0}-Argument with a value using <h:outputText>?

Kind regards and thanks for your help

You can't. You should be using h:outputFormat instead. The parameters are to be added using f:param.

Consult the JSF TLD documentation for details.

Thanks. Can you give a short example of how to use or link the corresponding spot in the tld documentation??

f:param value will be the value I want to replace the {0} with. But how do I have to name the parameter?

Kind regards

Daniel

You don´t need to name it. Just place f:param tags consecutively in the same order as the placeholders of the message.

Mmh... sorry. It doesn't works for me...

Here's my code snippet...

<tr:forEach items="#{projectController.project.milestones}" var="milestone">
		<tr:outputFormatted value="#{msgs['attachmentsMilestone']}">
			<f:param value="#{milestone.name}"></f:param>
		</tr:outputFormatted>
</tr:forEach>

I only got "Attachments for milestone {0}" rendered in my browser.

That´s not a standard JSF tag. Read the TLDDOC which come along the taglib you seem to prefer over the standard taglib how to use it.

Works. It was not supported by the trinidad tag. Standard jsf tag works fine.

Thanks
