Method Detail

getOrientation

public String getOrientation()

Returns the text of the orientation attribute specified in the .layout file that corresponds to this FlowLayout portal component. Will be either FlowLayout.ORIENT_HORIZONTAL or FlowLayout.ORIENT_VERTICAL.

Returns

The text of the orientation attribute as a String. If unspecified, FlowLayout.ORIENT_VERTICAL is returned.

See Also

FlowLayout.ORIENT_HORIZONTAL, FlowLayout.ORIENT_VERTICAL

isHorizontal

public boolean isHorizontal()

Returns

true if the orientation attribute is set to "horizontal"

isVertical

public boolean isVertical()

Returns

true if the orientation attribute is set to "vertical"

isImplicitFlow

public boolean isImplicitFlow()

This attribute is used to indicate whether this FlowLayout was created implicitely by a Placeholder to handle 'usingFlow' duties, or explicitly by a <netuix:flowLayout> control.

Returns

true if this FlowLayout was created implicitely, false otherwise.

getParentPlaceholderPresentationContext

public PlaceholderPresentationContext getParentPlaceholderPresentationContext()

This method returns the parent PlaceholderPresentationContext for this FlowLayoutPresentationContext, if this FlowLayoutPresentationContext is implicit. An implicit FlowLayout is one that was created automatically by a Placeholder to handle 'usingFlow' duties.

Returns

The PlaceholderPresentationContext parent of this implicit FlowLayoutPresentationContext, or null if it doesn't exist, or if this FlowLayoutPresentationContext is not implicit.

getFlowLayoutPresentationContext

public static FlowLayoutPresentationContext getFlowLayoutPresentationContext(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

This is a convenience method for returning a reference to the one and only FlowLayoutPresentationContext. Note this method will only work if called from within a portal (typically, from the flowlayout.jsp skeleton). This method may return null if called when no appropriate context exists, but such a context should safely exist when being fetched from the associated skeleton JSP during normal portal rendering.

Parameters

request - The current HTTPServletRequest instance

Returns

A reference to the current FlowLayoutPresentationContext, if any

getProperty

public String getProperty(String key)

Description copied from class: PresentationContext

Get a property of the underlying component. This is a convenience method. The key argument should not be null.

Overrides:

getProperty in class PresentationContext

Parameters

key - The property key

Returns

The value associated with the specified key, if it exists
