                                       UnknownValueException

Returns the description matching the table and value given. As currently implemented this method performs a database call each time - caching should probably be added, although this method will probably not be used very often.

Specified by:

getDescription in class TableRepository

Throws:

UnknownValueException - if the value can not be found. This may be an UnknownTableException.
