public static final java.lang.String getDisplayName(java.lang.String propName)
Returns a displayable (translated) name for the given property.


getDisplayName

public static final java.lang.String getDisplayName(java.lang.String propName,
                                                    DBObjectProvider pro,
                                                    DBObject obj)
Returns a displayable (translated) name for the given property in the context of the given provider. Whilst most properties have a generic name, some are specific to a provider.

Parameters:
propName - the property name to look up
pro - the DBObjectProvider implementation
obj - the object the property is on

getPropValueDisplay

public static final java.lang.String getPropValueDisplay(java.lang.String propName,

Returns a displayable (translated) name for the given property value.

Parameters:
propName - the name of the property (single name only, not a property path).
value - the property value
Returns:
a translated string to represent the property value in the UI, or the property value as a String if no translated version is available.

registerBundle

public void registerBundle(java.util.ResourceBundle bundle)
Registers a bundle of diplay names. The bundle keys must be the property name to look up. Built in (API) property names cannot be overriden.

When registering new properties, ensure they are included in the API metadata if appropriate.

Parameters:
bundle - the bundle of names to register.
See Also:
Metadata.registerProperty(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class, java.lang.Class...)
