The MessageStore Pattern

Introduction     Implementing    Parts

The Message Store pattern overwrites the standard CA Plex message handling, and instead the messages generated by the application are stored in and retrieved from database tables.

A set of message templates is defined for each language supported by the application.  When retrieving a message to be displayed to the user, each message will be assembled from the message template corresponding to the selected language.

The Message Store may also be used simply to log messages generated by the application.  In this way, the Message entity can be associated to the User or the Session table making it possible to extract detailed message statistics from the application.
