guys,

i am running into this problem within my web app. please help me. i am
using tap3.

now i am retrieving column name information from my tables and
displaying to the user in drop down menus. i retrieve the data using
List columns = new ArrayList();
int columnSize = columns.;
while (rsColumns.next()) {
         columns.add(rsColumns.getString("COLUMN_NAME"));
}
String s = columns.toString();
setColumnList(columns);
rsColumns.close();

so now s contains information like user_username, user_password etc
this being my column names within a particular table. and this
information is visible to the user in drop down menus within my web
app.

within my html i have something like,
<select jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" style="width:180">
  <span jwcid="@Foreach" source="ognl:columnList" value="ognl:column">
         <option jwcid="@Option" label="ognl:column" selected="ognl:true"/>
   </span>
</select>

now my problem is that i can retrieve data properly, but i want to
display user friendly information to the user. so instead of they
viewing user_username i want to display Username etc. but at the same
time when the select this particular option i want to maintain the
information passed on back to my java code as the original column name
(user_username).

so essentially all i want to do is display user friendly labels but
not change the underlying content. can some genius help me out. i also
need to worry about multi-lingual stuff so somehow this info needs to
be stored in properties files, which i can change on the fly.

please help me.
