public class EditCurrentRecord

extends DataWebBeanImpl

The EditCurrentRecord Data Web Bean edits the current record of a View Object's RowSet. This Web Bean contains two main entry points render() and execute().

• render() - generates the HTML FORM used for editing the row.
• execute() - applied to a JSP page that will be the target of the HTML FORM.

JDeveloper's JSP Element wizard instantiates the EditCurrentRecord class in a jsp:useBean tag in a .JSP file. Along with the class, the wizard also includes an ID and a scope declaration set to request. If you change the scope to any other value, you will have to handle possible multithreading issues.

The definition of an EditCurrentRecord edit form provided by the wizard includes these methods: setUseRoundedCorners, setSubmitText, setDeleteText, setShowRecordNumbers, setMaximumFieldWidth, setMaximumFieldHeight, setReleaseApplicationResources, initialize, and render. For example:

 <jsp:useBean   class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord"
                          id="efDetail"  scope="request" >
 <%

    efDetail.setUseRoundedCorners(true);
    efDetail.setSubmitText("Save Changes");
    efDetail.setDeleteText("Delete Record");
    efDetail.setShowRecordNumbers(true);
    efDetail.setMaximumFieldWidth(40);
    efDetail.setMaximumFieldHeight(0);
    efDetail.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
    efDetail.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,
                       "package3_Package3Module.EmpView");
    efDetail.render();
 %>
  </jsp:useBean>
 

The value assigned to the setReleaseApplicationResources method determines whether the Application Module is released after the EditCurrentRecord Data Web Bean processes it. Typically, the value should not be set to true unless this is the last Web Bean to be processed in the JSP page.

The EditCurrentRecord Data Web Bean renders the page by using field renderers. A field renderer is a technique of rendering an attribute. For example, TextAreas and Lists are field renderers. The field renderers are responsible for rendering a single attribute from the current row. The createDefaultFieldRenderers() function populates the collection of field renderes for all the visible attributes. You can retrieve an attribute's field renderer by using the getFieldRenderer() function. You can also create your own field renderers:

1. Implement the oracle.jdeveloper.html.HTMLFieldRenderer interface.
2. Place your field renderer class on the form and use the setFieldRenderer() function to associate it with an attribute.

For a sample usage of this Data Web Bean, see the sample application generated by the JSP Application Wizard.

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Sets up the RowSet that contains the row to be edited. That is, it clears the field renderers if the row to be edited is null; otherwise, it populates the the row with its field renderers.

The RowSet is automatically retrieved as a side effect of the initialize() function. Call setRowSet only if you need to initialize the Web Bean with a RowSet other than the one designated by the initialize method.

Overrides:

setRowSet in class DataWebBeanImpl

Parameters:

aQuery - the RowSet to be edited.

createNewRow

public void createNewRow()

Directs the EditCurrentRecord Web Bean to create a new row in the RowSet and to give focus to this row when generating the edit form. This method also sets the control in "new row" mode so that it can encode enough information in the HTML FORM to handle the subsequent submission.

createDefaultFieldRenderers

public void createDefaultFieldRenderers()

Populates the collection of field renderers with the defaults obtained from the View Object attributes. If you want to add your own field renderer, you must add it after this call is made; otherwise, it will be removed from the list.

Associates the provided field renderer with the provided attribute. Use this method if you want to associate your own field renderer with a row's attribute.

Parameters:

sAttrName - name of the attribute.

rField - name of the field renderer.

getFieldRenderer

public HTMLFieldRenderer getFieldRenderer(java.lang.String sAttrName)

Returns the current field renderer associated with the specified attribute. This function is very useful when you need to Set or Get an attribute of the field renderer to, for example, change the field prompt or width.

Parameters:

sAttrName - name of the attribute.

Returns:

current field renderer for the specified attribute.
