Class WizardManager

java.lang.Object

oracle.ide.wizard.WizardManager

public final class WizardManager
extends java.lang.Object

WizardManager provides the interface through which the IDE handles Wizards.

Wizards use the WizardManager to register themselves as Wizards.

In addition, Wizards or other classes can use the WizardManager to retrieve the list of currently registered Wizards.

If a Wizard does not need to be notified on startup and shutdown from the IDE, then the Wizard does not need to register itself as an Addin from the IDE, but can simple register itself as a wizard. Most Wizard instances that fit this description are invoked from the New Object Gallery. In this case, when the New Object Gallery is first created, all Wizard instances which are not already loaded from the AddinManager, will be initialized at this time.

The current WizardManager can be retrieved by calling WizardManager.getInstance().

invokeWizard

public boolean invokeWizard(Invokable invokable,
                   Context context,
                   java.lang.String[] params,
                   java.lang.String[] technologyKeys)

Loads an Invokable with the specified execution context and parameters.

If the execution context has an associated Project, then the project's technology scope is updated according to the specified technology keys via TechnologyScopeConfiguration.updateTechnologyScope(String[]).

Parameters:

invokable - The Invokable to invoke. This must not be null.

context - The execution context for the wizard. This should not be null.

params - The parameters to pass to the wizard. This may be null.

technologyKeys - The technology keys associated with the wizard. This may be null.

Returns:

true if the wizard completed successfully, otherwise false.

invokeWizard

public boolean invokeWizard(Invokable invokable,
                   Context context,
                   java.lang.String wizardId,
                   java.lang.String[] params,
                   java.lang.String[] technologyKeys)

Invokes the Invokable with the specified execution context and parameters.

If the execution context has an associated Project, then the project's technology scope is updated according to the specified technology keys via TechnologyScopeConfiguration.updateTechnologyScope(String[]).

Parameters:

invokable - The Invokable to invoke. This must not be null.

context - The execution context for the wizard. This should not be null.

wizardId - The id of the wizard being invoked. This may be null.

params - The parameters to pass to the wizard. This may be null.

invokeSecondaryWizard

public void invokeSecondaryWizard(Invokable invokable,
                         Context context,

                         java.lang.String[] technologyKeys)

This method should be used to launch an Invokable from another wizard. It posts an event that in turn posts another event to invoke the new Invokable. This two-stage event posting is necessary in order to ensure that any cleanup needed when we close the first wizard occurs BEFORE we bring up the new Wizard.

If the execution context has an associated Project, then the project's technology scope is updated according to the specified technology keys via TechnologyScopeConfiguration.updateTechnologyScope(String[]).

Parameters:

invokable - The invokable to execute.

context - The execution context for the invokable.

params - The parameters to pass to the invokable.

technologyKeys - The technology keys associated with the invokable.
