[jira] Closed: (OFBIZ-129) Automatic Translation of view entity fields from the real entity linked to the view

["David E. Jones (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-129?page=all ]

David E. Jones closed OFBIZ-129.
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: SVN trunk
       Resolution: Fixed
         Assignee: David E. Jones

Thanks Marco, this is a nice feature. It is in SVN rev 429250.

BTW, please check out the code conventions for OFBiz (especially using spaces instead of tabs, and not putting open curly braces on their own line). Details are on the docs site here:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices

I also changed the modelEntity variable name to avoid confusion with the object level variable that had the same name.

> I have seen that in same forms the heading of the fields was not translated and checking in to the source I have verified that in case of using the view entity those fields was not translated automatically from the real entity linked to the view.
> The first solution can be to insert also the view entities into the EntityLabels properties file but in this case a lot of replication of data will be happened.
> To be more clear I will try to explain with an example.
> A lot of fields into the forms use the view entity UomAndType that can be used to show the type and unit of misure.
> In this case I will have to create the following row into CommonEntityLabels.properties  :
> UomType.description.LENGTH_MEASURE=Length
> Uom.description.LEN_cm=Centimeter
> and to solve the view entity issue I had to insert also this row in the same property file
> UomAndType.description.LEN_cm.LENGTH_MEASURE=Centimeter
> UomAndType.typeDescription.LEN_cm.LENGTH_MEASURE=Length
> This cause a lot of data replication into the EntityLabels properties and so I prefer that the Entity Engine will retrieve automatically the translation of the heading of the fields from the real entity linked to the view.
> I have modified the GenericEntity.get() method to apply this new mechanism that you can find attached to this issue.
> I have tried this patch a lot but I prefer if some of the major expert of OFBIZ can test it before commits because this method it's hugely into the forms.
> In the patch you can find also the new header for this class and you can find also Valid Status Change for Shipment to test this new mechanism.
> I wait for you feedback on this patch and I'm at your disposal for discuss on it.
> Thanks a lot
