Constructor Details

AliasTemplateNumberFormatFactory

public AliasTemplateNumberFormatFactory(String targetFormatString)

Parameters:

targetFormatString - The format string this format will be an alias to

AliasTemplateNumberFormatFactory

public AliasTemplateNumberFormatFactory(String defaultTargetFormatString,
 Map<Locale,String> localizedTargetFormatStrings)

Parameters:

defaultTargetFormatString - The format string this format will be an alias to if there's no locale-specific format string for the requested locale in localizedTargetFormatStrings

localizedTargetFormatStrings - Maps Locale-s to format strings. If the desired locale doesn't occur in the map, a less specific locale is tried, repeatedly until only the language part remains. For example, if locale is new Locale("en", "US", "Linux"), then these keys will be attempted untol a match is found, in this order: new Locale("en", "US", "Linux"), new Locale("en", "US"), new Locale("en"). If there's still no matching key, the value of the targetFormatString will be used.

Method Details

get

public TemplateNumberFormat get(String params,
 Locale locale,
 Environment env)
                         throws TemplateValueFormatException

Description copied from class: TemplateNumberFormatFactory

Returns a formatter for the given parameters.

The returned formatter can be a new instance or a reused (cached) instance. Note that Environment itself caches the returned instances, though that cache is lost with the Environment (i.e., when the top-level template execution ends), also it might flushes lot of entries if the locale or time zone is changed during template execution. So caching on the factory level is still useful, unless creating the formatters is sufficiently cheap.

Specified by:

get in class TemplateNumberFormatFactory

Parameters:

params - The string that further describes how the format should look. For example, when the numberFormat is "@fooBar 1, 2", then it will be "1, 2" (and "@fooBar" selects the factory). The format of this string is up to the TemplateNumberFormatFactory implementation. Not null, often an empty string.

locale - The locale to format for. Not null. The resulting format must be bound to this locale forever (i.e. locale changes in the Environment must not be followed).

env - The runtime environment from which the formatting was called. This is mostly meant to be used for Environment.setCustomState(Object, Object)/Environment.getCustomState(Object).

Throws:

TemplateValueFormatException - if any problem occurs while parsing/getting the format. Notable subclasses: InvalidFormatParametersException if the params is malformed.
