Rename Displayed Field Name in Grails Domain Class

Question

Given the following Grails Domain Classes, how do I go about renaming the displayed field name for isbn to be "ISBN" (as opposed to the default "Isbn") and authors to be "Author(s)" (as opposed to the default "Authors")?

class Book {
    String name
    String isbn
    static hasMany = [ authors: Author ]
}

class Author {
    String name
}

You can change the label of the property in messages.property ! – Ewell

@doelleri: Yes, we're using the default scaffolding that comes with Grails. – Zapateado

Answer 1

You can just use messages.properties file for that. Go to grails-app --> i18n --> messages.properties

and define message like:

'<full packagePath>.<domain name>.<propertyName>.<attribute>' = <message>

book.isbn.label = ISBN

Thanks that worked! I did have to pay special attention to the case of the package path, domain class name, etc (camelCase) in case that helps anyone else. – Zapateado

yeah you need to pay attention for package hierarchy and class name and other things also.. – Stakhanovism
