public class ViewDefImpl

extends RowDef

implements StructureDef

ViewDefImpl is the meta-object for View Object instances. It describes the View Object's structure.

A View Def can be created either through XML loading or programmatically. For the former, the client is expected to generate the XML file from design-time and make the file accessible from the classpath. When the client asks MetaObjectManager for the View Def, it finds the XML file, opens it, parses it, and builds a View Def from it.

When creating a View Def programmatically, the client is expected to start with

    ViewDefImpl viewDef = new ViewDefImpl("MyViewDef");
 

where "MyViewDef" is the name by which the View Def will identified by MetaObjectManager. This is the name that the client should pass when an API requires a View Def name, e.g., the defName parameter to ApplicationModule.createViewObject(String, String).

After instantiating the View Def, the client adds entity usages, attributes, etc. Then, he must resolve the definition object through resolveDefObject() and regsiter it with MetaObjectManager through RowDef.registerDefObject(). For a View Def created from an XML file, the client does not need to call these methods, as the framework calls them itself.

Here is an example code snippet:

    ViewDefImpl viewDef = new ViewDefImpl("MyViewDef");

    viewDef.addEntityUsage("MyEmpUsage", "testp.kava.VO3.si03mt.Emp",
                           false);  // false means it's not refOnly

    viewDef.setComponentClass(null);  // take the default ViewObjectImpl
    viewDef.setRowClass(null);  // take the default ViewRowImpl
    viewDef.setSelectClause("EmpUsage.EMPNO, EmpUsage.ENAME, EmpUsage.JOB, EmpUsage.DEPTNO");
    viewDef.setFromClause("EMP EmpUsage");

    viewDef.addEntityAttribute("MyEmpNum", "MyEmpUsage", "EmpNum", true);  // true is for persistent
    viewDef.addEntityAttribute("MyEmpName", "MyEmpUsage", "EmpName", true);
    viewDef.addEntityAttribute("MyEmpJob", "MyEmpUsage", "EmpJob", true);
    viewDef.addEntityAttribute("MyEmpDeptNum", "MyEmpUsage", "EmpDeptNum", true);

    viewDef.resolveDefObject();
    viewDef.registerDefObject();
