Localized text in java code

[Jean-Sébastien HEDERER]

In order to include a text coming from a *.properties file, is it better
to use :

    Map uiLabelMap = (Map) context.get("uiLabelMap");
    localizedTitle = (String) uiLabelMap.get("CommonViewCalendar");

or to use:

    Locale locale = (Locale)context.get("locale");
    localizedTitle = UtilProperties.getMessage("CommonUiLabels",
    "CommonViewCalendar", locale);

Thanks in advance

It depends on where the code is being run.

The first is better to use, but is generally only available from code  
run through the Screen Widget as the uiLabelMap is generally defined  
in screen actions and is initialized through a UtilProperties call on  
a per-screen-render basis.
