RepositoryFormDataImpl

public RepositoryFormDataImpl(RepositoryItem pRepositoryItem,
                      ApplicationLogging pLogger,
                      atg.repository.servlet.RepositoryEditorErrorHandler pErrorHandler)

Throws:

RepositoryException

RepositoryFormDataImpl

public RepositoryFormDataImpl(MutableRepository pRepository,
                      RepositoryItemDescriptor pItemDescriptor,
                      java.lang.String pRepositoryId,
                      ApplicationLogging pLogger,
                      atg.repository.servlet.RepositoryEditorErrorHandler pErrorHandler)

Create a RepositoryFormDataImpl, without having a pre-existing repository item.

Parameters:

pRepository - The repository to contain this item

pRepositoryItemDescriptor - The repository item descriptor for the item we are editing.

pRepositoryId - The repository id for the item we are editing

pLogger - The logger to use for logging.

Method Detail

setTrimProperties

public void setTrimProperties(java.util.Set pTrimProperties)

Set the Set of the names of properties to trim.

getTrimProperties

public java.util.Set getTrimProperties()

Get the Set of the names of properties to trim.

setExtractDefaultValuesFromItem

public void setExtractDefaultValuesFromItem(boolean pExtractDefaultValuesFromItem)

Sets whether or not property values should be extracted from a repository item if they do not have values specified in the form.

setEditMapsAsLists

public void setEditMapsAsLists(boolean pEditMapsAsLists)

Sets the property EditMapsAsLists. If you set this to true, the interface for editing maps is as list items using a special "keys" sub-property to define the key. If you set this to false, you edit maps "as is". This allows you to modify properties of existing map entries, but not to add new entries.

Parameters:

pEditMapsAsLists - new value to set

setCheckForReadOnlyProperties

public void setCheckForReadOnlyProperties(boolean pCheckForReadOnlyProperties)

Sets whether or this form handler should throw an exception when updating item properties and read only properties are in the value dictionary. Otherwise, read only properties are just skipped.

setCheckForRequiredProperties

public void setCheckForRequiredProperties(boolean pCheckForRequiredProperties)

Sets whether or not the form handler should check that all the required properties are present during the create/update operations. If true, an error will be raised for any required property that is missing.

setCreateTransientItems

public void setCreateTransientItems(boolean pCreateTransientItems)

Sets property CreateTransientItems. If true, newly created items remain transient and are not persisted in the repository with a call to addItem.

The default setting is false.

setRequireMapKeys

public void setRequireMapKeys(boolean pRequireMapKeys)

Set a flag that indicates if the form should require keys for all entries in Map properties.

setSortRepositoryItemSets

public void setSortRepositoryItemSets(boolean pSortRepositoryItemSets)

Set a flag that indicates if the form should display Sets of RepositoryItems sorted according to their display names.

setUpdateItemsInCollection

public void setUpdateItemsInCollection(boolean pUpdateItemsInCollection)

Set a flag that indicates if the form should update individual collection items when updating a collection property.

getRepositoryItemEditor

public atg.repository.servlet.RepositoryItemEditor getRepositoryItemEditor()

Return an implementaion of RepositoryItemEditor

Specified by:

getRepositoryItemEditor in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

an editor implementation

getErrorHandler

public atg.repository.servlet.RepositoryEditorErrorHandler getErrorHandler()

Return an object responsible for handling form errors

Specified by:

getErrorHandler in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

the form error handler

getValue

public java.util.Dictionary getValue()

Returns a dictionary that stores the pending property values associated with an operation on the repository item (e.g. create, update).

Specified by:

getValue in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

the value dictionary

getItemDescriptor

public RepositoryItemDescriptor getItemDescriptor()
                                           throws RepositoryException

Return the item descriptor for the top-level item or null

Specified by:

getItemDescriptor in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

the item descriptor or null on error

Throws:

RepositoryException

getRepositoryId

public java.lang.String getRepositoryId()

Returns the repository id of the item being manipulated.

Specified by:

getRepositoryId in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

the repository ID

getRepository

public MutableRepository getRepository()

getMapKeyValueSeparator

public java.lang.String getMapKeyValueSeparator()

Gets the property MapKeyValueSeparator. When editing components of type map, you can use the keyAndRepositoryIds property to set both the key and the map from a single form element. This string is used to separate the key from the repository id - for example: "key=10005" is an acceptable value if the KeyValueSeparator is "=".

Specified by:

getMapKeyValueSeparator in interface RepositoryFormData

Returns:

The value of the property MapKeyValueSeparator.

getExtractDefaultValuesFromItem
