Overriding standard component messages - Part 2

In this blog I will show you approach to figure out standard component message bundle key. Refer to Part -1 to get understanding of how I have overridden default uncommitted data warning message.

Now to figure out the bundle key, you need to follow below steps.
While your application is running in browser:

Go to File->Save As->Webpage, complete (*.htm,*,html)

Now, go to the folder where you saved the webpage. Open the folder & open file starting with: AdfTranslations-xxxx.js

You can search for the text that you wish to override & locate the corresponding bundle key.

That's it, now you use this key in your skin bundle(Part -1) to override the message.

Overriding uncommitted data warning message - Part 1

I'm sure you might be knowing about uncommitted data warning message you get, when user tries to navigate out of current page without saving the data. Refer Oracle & Ashish post for more details.

Today, I'm going to show you how you can override standard message displayed in this popup.

Expand your ViewController project & open the trinidad-skin.xml file

I defined a new Java resource bundle for my skin, you can also specify a .properties or xlff file.

Then created a Java file as below:

If you notice, I'm extending from ListResourceBundle & then overridden a key called af_document.MSG_CONFIRM_NAVIGATION

That's it, you can run your application now & see this new message being displayed when you get uncommitted warning message.

Refer Part -2 to find out how to locate the default key that needs to be overridden.

Hope this helps!!!
