title: Changing abbreviation values coming for Database in ADF view Object
body: <p><em><strong>I am using <code>ADF</code> <code>JDeveloper 11g Release 2</code></em></strong></p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>Entity object</code> called <code>Project</code> referring to actual database table. This table contains fileds that hold abbreviation values; for example this table have filed called <code>STATUS</code> that describe the current status for the project. this filed will have values like: <strong>'A' for Approved, 'X' for Rejected, and so on.</strong></p>
  
  <p>In the interface( <code>JSPX</code>, or <code>JSF</code> Pages) I am just drag and drop the <code>View object</code> that refers to the <code>Project</code> <code>Entity object</code>. and the page will display the project records with their status as specified.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question is:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to change this observation values to the actual value somewhere; That is, <strong>Instead of having values like ( A, X,...) I want to have ( Approved, Rejected,...)</strong> </p>
