how to use entitylabels somewhere else

[Matthieu Bollot-4]

Hi,
Is there a way to use entitylabels in a groovy ?
I've got a genericValue that contains a result, for example a workEffort
with workEffortTypeId:ROUTING that I can get with
myRow['workEffortTypeId']
And I want to get the string of WorkEffortType.description.ROUTING from
workEffortEntityLabels which will be 'routing' in english, 'routage' in
french and so on.

any idea ?

Obviously, it's always when we ask for help after searching for hours
that we find the solution alone -_-'

btw, here is a solution, may be not the best one :
e.g. : in screen.xml
<property-map resource="CommonEntityLabels" map-name="uiLabelMap"
global="true"/>


in groovy :
uiLabelMap.get('StatusItem.description.'+key)

where key is my status, such as ROUTING

myRow.workEffortTypeId is better.

I'm thinking about something groovy-ish; brainstorming...

In GenericEntity.java:

public Map<String, String> getLabels(Locale locale) {
}

In groovy, or any other type of language:

myRow.getLabels('fr').workEffortTypeId

Of course, none of this is actually implemented yet.  And, for speed,
the returned map should do a lazy lookup.  Ie, the returned map should
not attempt to find all the translated values when the getLabels()
method is called.

GenericValues implement LocalizedMap, simply using value.get("description", locale) should return the localized description.
