Package com.epicentric.i18n.format Description

Enables lazy resolution of a string's locale and style. This package is appropriate only for code that does not need localization and formatting to be applied until later.

This package can be used for the following purposes:

• specifying a string and its locale
• defining a style based on document type (for example, a "caution" style, which might be different for an HTML document compared to a document intended for output to a mobile device)
• formatting output based on locale and style
• creating a group of string/locale combinations
• getting and formatting a resource bundle

When actually needed, strings can be resolved based on the user, site, locale, and document type. A string that is formatted using this package can serve multiple purposes -- for example, to send a message to an error file based on one locale and to display a message based on the current request.
