public class MapRPCDroplet
extends DynamoServlet

This Servlet executes the RPC Command and renders its output paramter. Also sets the result parameter with output of the command execution. If an exception is generated by the command execution then an error parameter is rendered setting exception< parameter with the exception thrown.

Input parameters are passed into this droplet in different ways as following.

• Set of name/value pairs passed to the droplet from page.
• Map passed directly to the droplet from page.
• Map set in the droplet properties.

It is illegal to pass parameters from different locations, ServletException is thrown when this happens. One exception to this is if you want to set some default value for any parameters, you should populate the Map property of this with default values and make an entry for the key from the page context.

A complete description of the parameters to this droplet are:

command

The parameter that defines the Command to execute. This droplet executes this Command passing the Map input parameter. This parameter can also be defined in the properties of this droplet, but it is illegal to pass both of them.

inputParameters

The parameter that defines Map to pass to Command. This contains the name/value pairs of the parameters to pass to the Command. This parameter can also be defined in the properties of this droplet, but it is illegal to pass both of them.

inputParameterNames

This parameter defines comma separated list of parameter names this droplet looks for in the page context. This parameter is useful when you decide the parameters to pass during run time. You set the parameter names in this property delimited with comma, and pass the parameter name/values to the droplet. This is also useful to set default values for some of the properties, and pass the rest of the properties at run time. You set the default parameters in the inputProperties Map property of the droplet, and just pass the parameter names in this parameter. This droplet parses the parameter names in this property and tries to get the value for these parameters from the page. If any of the parameters is not found in the page, this droplet looks for it in the inputProperties Map property and populates the value of this parameter. It is illegal to pass this parameter and inputParameters to the droplet. But it is legal to pass this parameter and setting the inputProperties in the properties of this droplet.

{propertyName}

Page parameter that corresponds to a property name that appears in the inputParameterNames parameter.

output

This parameter is rendered if Command is executed successfully.

error

This parameter is rendered if Command throws an exception while execution.

result

This parameter is set to the result from the Command execution when output parameter is rendered.

exception

This parameter is set to the exception from the Command execution when error parameter is rendered.

The following are the properties of this droplet defined in the Nucleus properties file of this droplet.

command

This property defines the Command to execute. This droplet executes this Command with the Map input passed. This property can also be passed as a input paramter to the droplet, but it is illegal to pass both.

inputParameters

This property defines the Map to pass to Command. This contains name/value pairs of the parameters to pass to Command. This property can also be passed as a page parameter to the droplet, but it is illegal to pass both. But this property can be set in conjunction with inputParameterNames page parameter to set default values to some of the parameters.

The following is the sample code to use this droplet:

 <droplet bean="/atg/integrations/MapRPCDroplet"> 

     <param name="command" value="bean:/atg/integrations/jdbc/QueryForUser"/>


    <param name="inputParameterNames" value="UserId">


    <param name="UserId" value="bean:Profile.Id"> 



    <java>/* a result DynamicBean put into the result
 /</java>

    <oparam name="output"> 

          The users email address
is: <valueof param="result.emailAddress"/> 

    </oparam> 



    <oparam name="error"> 

        Unable to execute query, the following
exceptions occured: <valueof param="exception"/> 

    </oparam> 

</droplet>
