public class Strings
extends java.lang.Object

Class to hold all of the text values used by the system. The values are set via Spring from strings.xml, which can be modified as the user sees fit (e.g. for translation to different languages etc).

Getter methods are intended to be read either from Java code, or from JSP. Setter methods are called once via Spring at application startup, and thence on should not be called again.

More information on what attribute goes where can be found in the comments in webapp/conf/strings.xml. (I don't see much point in populating a Javadoc with dozens of mostly identical comments! ;-)
