Change property names on class level without renaming the var?

[membersound <me...@web.de>]

Hi,

I know I can rename a backend property by creating a *.properties file for a
page and use property-label=new name.

But if let's say I have a product class with timestamp variable, and want it
to be shown everywhere on every page as "creation date". Then I have to
create a properties file for *every* page that uses the product class. And
if I later intend to change the visual name again, I have to edit all of
them.

So I'm looking for a way to just annotate the timestamp property with eg
@Named("Creation Date") or likewise.
What could I do? Or is is not possible with T5?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand your question, but you can have a global
"app.properties" file in your WEB-INF directory. It's a good place to
put properties that are needed by more than one page.
