How to use resourceManager in Mediators

[akmansoor]

I am using resourceManager in my views using resourceManager.getString("myResource","myLabel")
How do I use the same in my mediators.

Thanks,

The exact same way. Its just a question of what you do with the resource string afterwards. in the mediator you'd make the call and set the result on a public property of the view component.

Its best not to have the mediator set somedeeply nested implementation specific property like "myComp.mainPanel.tititle" but instead to expose a bindable public top level property in MyComp like instanceTitle and have the mediator set that property. Thin inside MyComp, have mainPanel's title property bind to instanceTitle. This encapsulates the component implementation specifics and exposes a clear API for its client (the mediator) to deliver the required resources.

Later, if the component is refactored to use some other implementation and mainPanel goes away, the mediator will not fail or have to be modified beyond changes you may make to the actual resource property names.

I am not able to use resourceManager in mediators, it is giving compilation error undefined property. In view I am able to use it.

I understood that resourceManager is part of UIcomponent. This is why i am not able to access it in my mediator.
It works when I try
ResourceManager.getInstance().getString("resources", "myKey");
