- All Implemented Interfaces:

,InternationalString
An international string using a map of strings for different locales.
Strings for new locales can be added,
but existing strings cannot be removed or modified.
This behavior is a compromise between making constructions easier, and being suitable for
use in immutable objects.
Thread safety
Instances ofDefaultInternationalString
are thread-safe. While those instances are not strictly immutable,
SIS typically references them as if they were immutable because of their add-only behavior.- Since:

Constructor Details
-
DefaultInternationalString
public DefaultInternationalString()Creates an initially empty international string. Localized strings can be added using one ofadd(…)
methods. -
DefaultInternationalString
Creates an international string initialized with the given string. Additional localized strings can be added using one ofadd(…)
methods. The string specified to this constructor is the one that will be returned if no localized string is found for theLocale
argument in a call totoString(Locale)
.- Parameters:
string
- the string in no specific locale, ornull
if none.
-
DefaultInternationalString
Creates an international string initialized with the given localized strings. The content of the given map is copied, so changes to that map after construction will not be reflected into this international string.- Parameters:
strings
- the strings in various locales, ornull
if none.- See Also:
-
-
Method Details
-
add
Adds a string for the given locale.- Parameters:
locale
- the locale for thestring
value.string
- the localized string.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if a different string value was already set for the given locale.
-
getLocales
Returns the set of locales defined in this international string.- Returns:
- the set of locales.
- "TODO:"
- Current implementation does not return a synchronized set. We should synchronize on the same lock than the one used for accessing the internal locale map.
-
toString
Returns a string in the specified locale. If there is no string for thatlocale
, then this method searches for a locale without the variant part. If no string are found, then this method searches for a locale without the country part. For example if the"fr_CA"
locale was requested but not found, then this method looks for the"fr"
locale. The root locale is tried last.Handling of
Locale.ROOT
argument valueLocale.ROOT
can be given to this method for requesting a "unlocalized" string, typically some programmatic values like enumerations or identifiers. While identifiers often look like English words,Locale.ROOT
is not considered synonymous toLocale.ENGLISH
because the values may differ in the way numbers and dates are formatted (e.g. using the ISO 8601 standard for dates instead of English conventions). In order to produce a value close to the common practice, this method handlesLocale.ROOT
as below:- If a string has been explicitly added for
Locale.ROOT
, then that string is returned. - Otherwise, acknowledging that UML identifiers in OGC/ISO specifications are primarily
expressed in the English language, this method looks for strings associated to
Locale.US
as an approximation of "unlocalized" strings. - If no English string was found, then this method looks for a string for the system default locale.
- If none of the above steps found a string, then this method returns an arbitrary string.
Handling of
In the default implementation, thenull
argument valuenull
locale is handled as a synonymous ofLocale.ROOT
. However, subclasses are free to use a different fallback. Client code are encouraged to specify only non-null values for more determinist behavior.- Specified by:
toString
in interfaceInternationalString
- Specified by:
toString
in classAbstractInternationalString
- Parameters:
locale
- the desired locale for the string to be returned.- Returns:
- the string in the given locale if available, or in an implementation-dependent fallback locale otherwise.

Returnstrue
if all localized texts stored in this international string are contained in the specified object. More specifically:- If
candidate
is an instance ofInternationalString
, then this method returnstrue
if, for all locale-string pairs contained inthis
,candidate.toString(locale)
returns a string equals tostring
. - If
candidate
is an instance ofCharSequence
, then this method returnstrue
iftoString(Locale)
returns a string equals tocandidate.toString()
for all locales. - If
candidate
is an instance ofMap
, then this methods returnstrue
if all locale-string pairs are contained intocandidate
. - Otherwise, this method returns
false
.
- Parameters:
candidate
- the object which may contains this international string.- Returns:
true
if the given object contains all localized strings found in this international string.
- If
-
equals
Compares this international string with the specified object for equality. -
hashCode
public int hashCode()Returns a hash code value for this international text.
