Class DropletDescriptor

java.lang.Object

atg.droplet.BaseDropletDescriptor

atg.droplet.DropletDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

DropletConstants

public class DropletDescriptor
extends BaseDropletDescriptor

Caches the information needed to make efficient reflection calls to Droplet handler methods. A handle corresponds either to a property or a method of the form:

handlePropertyName(ServletRequest, ServletResponse)

Each descriptor is associated with a particular java class. If the referenced component's class changes, a new descriptor has to be created.

{component path}.{property}.{property}

pCallBeforeGet - true if the beforeGet method of DropletFormHandler components should be called if this is the first time that a property of this component has been accessed for this request.

Returns:

the value of the property

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - thrown if an error occurs trying to find the component, or trying to get one of the property values.

pPropertyPath - the path name to the property in the form:

{component path}.{property}.{property}

pValue - the value of the property

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - thrown if an error occurs trying to find the component, or trying to get one of the intermediate property values, or trying to set the final property value. A ServletException can also be thrown by one of the handleXXX methods, in which case that exception is propagated up through this call.

java.io.IOException - thrown if the handleXXX methods throws an IOException

evalDynamicDimensions

public static java.lang.String evalDynamicDimensions(PropertyName pPropertyPath,

                                              throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Goes through the dimensions string and replaces the param: and property: values with their current values. The process of resolving dimension values is done in two steps so that we can use the evaluated propertyPath (i.e. the path with [param:xxx] changed to [0]) as a key into the Form's table of tags, even though it is slightly less efficient this way.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

                                              throws DropletException

Returns the property descriptor for the specified class and property name. The handle method returned from this DropletDescriptor must take two parameters of type pParamOne and pParam two.

Parameters:

pClass -

pHandleParamOne -

pHandleParamTwo -

pPropertyName -

Returns:

Throws:

DropletException

hasPropertyValue

public static boolean hasPropertyValue(DynamoHttpServletRequest pRequest,
                                       PropertyName pPropertyName)
