one for niall pemberton ( LazyBeans )

[bryan <ni...@gmail.com>]

Firstly , I would post this on the users list but I think that as it's
a new feature and also something that I think will get more popular
as people use POJO's more and more in their applications so I'm 
putting it here as it may encourage debate.

Secondly , I've checked out your website and while it seems very 
promising I have to admit that I'm a little confused re: the best 
approach to take with this. 

Background: 

I have made extensive use of java.util.HashMap in my data model. 

The reason for this is that I intend that my web application ( the
jestate project )
will be used by customers who speak different languages. 

So I would like the salespeople ( who are multi-lingual ) to add 1 to * 
descriptions of the property that they add to the web site. 

So if it is possible for them to add a property description in english ( en ),
french ( fr ) and russian ( ru ) they should be able to do this. 

Here is the outline of my PropertyDescription pojo. 
PropertyDescription 
{
Long id;
String name;// not localizable 
Map descriptions // eg descriptions.add("en", "a lovely house"); 
Map summaryDescriptions //eg summaryDescriptions.add("en", "a house"); 
}

Ok ... naf examples but it is very late ( 5am ) :-( 

Anyhow there a lot more properties to this class, some of 
which are maps, strings and booleans. 

There are also about 10 other pojo's with similar attributes in my data model 
( I'm using hibernate ).

Question:

What would you recomend as the best way to do what I am trying to do 
here ?

Any advice appreciated 

Bryan
