Method Detail

setSortPreference

void setSortPreference(NamedValue[] options)
                       throws FdkException

Description copied from interface: SortManager

Creates a setting in the current user's user preferences to always sort the given table using the given options.

If not specified, direction defaults to true (ascending).

Parameters:

options - The sort options. Valid options are:

• notation: {Attribute name, Attribute type}
• {Options.TABLE_NAME, String}
• {Options.PRIMARY_SORT_ATTRIBUTE, String}
• {Options.PRIMARY_SORT_DIRECTION, Boolean}
• {Options.SECONDARY_SORT_ATTRIBUTE, String}
• {Options.SECONDARY_SORT_DIRECTION, Boolean}

Throws:

FdkException - if the operation fails.

Description copied from interface: SortManager

Gets the primary sort attribute for the given table.

Parameters:

tableName - The table on which to retrieve the attribute.

Throws:

FdkException - if the operation fails.

getPrimarySortDirection

boolean getPrimarySortDirection(java.lang.String tableName)
                                throws FdkException

Description copied from interface: SortManager

Gets the secondary sort attribute for the given table.

Parameters:

tableName - The table on which to retrieve the attribute.

Throws:

FdkException - if the operation fails.

getSecondarySortDirection

boolean getSecondarySortDirection(java.lang.String tableName)
                                  throws FdkException

Description copied from interface: SortManager

Gets the secondary sort direction (true == ascending) for the given table.

Parameters:

tableName - The table on which to retrieve the attribute.

Throws:

FdkException - if the operation fails.

sortAttributeList

Item[] sortAttributeList(long id,
                         NamedValue[] options,
                         AttributeRequest[] attrs)
                         throws FdkException

Description copied from interface: SortManager

Given an id of a repos object, constructs an item with an attribute of the given name and sorts the resulting value.

Parameters:

id - The id of the repos object.

options - The sort options. Valid options are:

• notation: {Attribute name, Attribute type}
• {Attributes.NAME, String}
• {Options.PRIMARY_SORT_ATTRIBUTE, String}
• {Options.PRIMARY_SORT_DIRECTION, Boolean}
• {Options.SECONDARY_SORT_ATTRIBUTE, String}
• {Options.SECONDARY_SORT_DIRECTION, Boolean}
