i18n with enum

[serenapotts]

I found another solution which allows the conversion to happen in the enum, as I use them from a number of controllers, and have a lot of enums too so the converter method isn't practical.

I defined a bean in webmvc-config.xml

<bean id="contextApplicationContextProvider" class="ApplicationContextProvider"></bean>

To inject the application context into this class which sets it in AppContext

public class ApplicationContextProvider implements ApplicationContextAware { 
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext ctx) throws BeansException { 

        // Wiring the ApplicationContext into a static method 
        AppContext.setApplicationContext(ctx); 
    } 
}

public class AppContext { 

    private static ApplicationContext ctx; 

    /**
     * Injected from the class "ApplicationContextProvider" which is automatically
     * loaded during Spring-Initialization.
     */ 

    public static void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) { 
        ctx = applicationContext; 
    } 


    /**
     * Get access to the Spring ApplicationContext from everywhere in your Application
     *
     * @return
     */ 

    public static ApplicationContext getApplicationContext() { 
        return ctx; 
    } 
}

Then in the enum:

public enum MyEnum {
	VALUEONE("valueOne.text"),
	VALUETWO("valueTwo.text");
	
	MyEnum(String s) { label = s; }
    
    String label;
    
    public String getLabel() { 
    	Locale locale = LocaleContextHolder.getLocale();
    	return AppContext.getApplicationContext().getMessage(label, null, locale);
    }

    public String toString()
    {
    	return getLabel();
    }
}

Is't working for you from the list screen.
It works for me when creating a new object, but when I try to display all the objects it shows the technical value.
