Usage Notes
RuleBasedRepositoryItemGroupFilter takes a collection (either an array or a List) of repository items. The servlet bean then renders a collection of repository items of the same type as the input collection but containing only the items that belong to a specific RuleBasedRepositoryItemGroup.
To use RuleBasedRepositoryItemGroupFilter, you must create a set of rules to filter the repository items and a form handler that enables users to choose the items they want to filter. For more information on creating these pieces, see the Pioneer Cycling PartsFilterFormHandler.java file and the filtering.jsp file in the ATG platform distribution.
For more information on how the Pioneer Cycling Reference Application uses the RuleBasedRepositoryItemGroup servlet bean, see the SearchingandFilteringtheCatalog section of the DisplayingandAccessingtheProductCatalog chapter in the ATG Consumer Commerce Reference Application Guide.
Example
The following example displays an array of items that are filtered based on a given set of rules:
<dsp:importbean bean="/FilterRulesCreator"/> <dsp:importbean bean="/Filterer"/> <dsp:importbean bean="/atg/dynamo/droplet/ForEach"/> <dsp:droplet name="Filterer"> <dsp:param name="inputItems" param="anArrayOfRepositoryItems"/> <dsp:param bean="/FilterRulesCreator.repositoryItemGroup" name="repositoryItemGroup"/> <dsp:oparam name="output"> <dsp:droplet name="ForEach"> <dsp:param name="array" param="filteredItems"/> <%-- other code to display repository item properties --%> </dsp:droplet> </dsp:oparam> </dsp:droplet>
