Thanks for the info. Since this is an archived email list, and since I learned
a few things in the process I will just summarize what I learned for future
reference. If I get something wrong please feel free to correct me.
uiLabelMap is used all over OfBiz. It's main purpose is to allow resource
bundles to be used for internationalization of languages within OfBiz. The
standard way of implementing it is to create your resources in either
.properties files or .xml files in the config directory of a component. In
order to use the properties you need to include the config folder in a class
path statement in ofbiz-component.xml like this <classpath type="dir"
location="config”/>. Also, the specific property file needs to be loaded. A
common place to do this is in CommonScreens.xml of your component, although it
can be done from any widget actions element. Inserting it in CommonScreens.xml
main-application-decorator is a method which makes the values available to all
your widgets which is usually desirable.Example:<actions>
<property-map resource="YourFileUiLabels" map-name="uiLabelMap"
global="true"/></actions>To Add your label file, just add <property-map
resource="YourFileUiLabels" map-name="uiLabelMap" global="true"/>
(YourFileUiLabels.xml or YourFileUiLabels.properties has to be in config folder
of your component.)
The effect is cumulative. uiLabelMap is being used by most OfBiz components,
so anything you add is meshed in with what is already there. There is a pretty
thorough wiki entry here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Text+Translation but it does
not mention the classpath aspect of making this work.
