Class Messages

  org.deegree.i18n.Messages

public class Messages
extends Object

Responsible for the access to messages that are visible to the user.

Messages are read from the properties file messages_LANG.properties (LANG is always a lowercased ISO 639 code), so internationalization is supported. If a certain property (or the property file) for the specific default language of the system is not found, the message is taken from messages_en.properties.
