                                                    DBObjectProvider pro,

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.
