- Description
This function displays a message to the user, either at the top of page or in a dialog, depending on the context, using the Java API.
- The basic version of the function displays a message string.
- With additional options, a localized version of a message can displayed.
- Considerations
-
- The function displays the message in the UI, irrespective of any database insertions or updates (in other words, without interrupting the program flow).
- In a JSP page, this function does nothing. Use a JavaScript alert(), instead.
- Syntax
void Functions.showMessage(String message); void Functions.showMessage(String key, String[] args);
To display a localized message:
Element Display Type Description key string A category name, followed by '.' and a message or label identifier (a "token").
Example: #categoryname.tokennameargs string Optional. Causes the first parameter to be treated as a key. Declares an array of Strings in Java (or Arguments)
- If no additional arguments are passed, the message-string is displayed.
- If arguments are passed, the call expects a token. The platform then translates the token and displays the Custom Label in the selected language.
To provide a key for a label that has no arguments (for example, for a label in the #custom category), use:
Functions.showMessage("#custom.label",null)
- Return
-
- Returns the localized message configured on the key in the Translation Workbench
- If no key is configured in the translation workbench, then the passed key is returned
