T5 property file for enum
Hi,
I love the new enum support for automagic selects. Thanks for that Howard!
I have shifted many constants to enums. The arising question is how to
prepare Messages to those enums in most convenient way.
At the time I use one property file per Page. When I have an enum
display a select on that Page I customize labels for the distinct enum
values in that property file. Having the same enum on different Pages I
ran into the usual copy'n paste practice.
Is there a way to customize labels for enums in only one file per locale
so that those properties get read whenever the enum is used on a Page?
What are your best practices?
Regards,
Michael

You can put the labels in your application's global properties file.
See: http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/guide/localization.html
In particular, note the section on the Application Message Catalog:
"Application Message Catalog
If the file WEB-INF/AppName.properties exists in the context, it will
be used as an application-wide message catalog. The AppName is derived
from the name of the filter inside the web.xml file. The search for
the file is case sensitive. The properties file may be localized.
Individual pages and components can override the values defined in
this message catalog."

?
In my humble opinion, the best approach is to put all the messages in
WEB-INF/app.properties (thus avoiding copy and paste and promoting
message standardization across the whole application) and to only use
a properties file for pages that need to override some messages.
