public class AbstractWizardComponent

extends Object

implements IWizardComponent, IDependencyObject

The default component implementation all wizard components should inherit. While not being abstract in the java sense of the word it provides default implementations for all the functions in IWizardComponent while not defining any individual behavior by itself.

Field Summary

static int	HORIZONTAL_LAYOUT
static int	VERTICAL_LAYOUT

Constructor Summary

AbstractWizardComponent()

Method Summary

void	clearIfInconsistent(String changedObject, IWizardContext context) the default implementtion clears all values from this component's branch in the session.
void	doAfterSubmit(IWizardContext context) the default implemention does nothing
void	doBeforeDisplay(IWizardContext context) the default implemention does nothing before display
Component	getControlInFocus(IWizardContext ctx)
String	getDescription(IWizardContext ctx) Set the description of a pane - this function is relevant only for panes.
Component	getDisplay(IWizardContext context) the default implementation returns null - if your component has a display it should inherit AbstractDisplayComponent or AbstractInputComponent.
List	getErrorMessages(IWizardContext context) the default implemention returns null
String	getPath() get the path of this component (internally used)
protected Object	getProperty(String key, IBasicEditingContext context) get the property stored under from the session
String	getTitle(IWizardContext ctx) Set the title of a pane - this function is relevant only for panes.
void	init(IWizardContext context) the default implemention does nothing on init
boolean	isComplete(IWizardContext context) the default implemention returns true
boolean	isInitialized(IWizardContext context) always returns true - override this function if your component needs dynamic initialization
boolean	isMandatory()
void	processInput(IWizardContext context) the default implemention does no input processing.
void	setMandatory(boolean iMandatory)
void	setPath(String iPath) set the path of this component. e.g. it's position in the wizard hierarchy.
protected void	setProperty(String key, Object value, IBasicEditingContext context) set the property under in the session
protected void	setTempProperty(String key, Object value, IBasicEditingContext context) Set the temporary property under in the session.
void	setupComponent(IWizardContext ctx) setup the component here. if this component is a container add all subcomponents here
void	wasChanged(IWizardContext context) this method should be called whenever a component is changed.

Method Detail

setupComponent

public void setupComponent(IWizardContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: IWizardComponent

setup the component here. if this component is a container add all subcomponents here

Specified by:

setupComponent in interface IWizardComponent

getTitle

public String getTitle(IWizardContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: IWizardComponent

Set the title of a pane - this function is relevant only for panes. It won't have any effect if used in subcomponents.

Specified by:

getTitle in interface IWizardComponent

getDescription

public String getDescription(IWizardContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: IWizardComponent

Set the description of a pane - this function is relevant only for panes. It won't have any effect if used in subcomponents.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface IWizardComponent

setPath

public void setPath(String iPath)

set the path of this component. e.g. it's position in the wizard hierarchy. path components are seperated by IWizardSession.PATH_DELIMITER. example: "pane1.nameComponent.firstNameInputField". If this component contains other components it will set their path in this function.

Specified by:

setPath in interface IWizardComponent

getPath

public String getPath()

get the path of this component (internally used)

Specified by:

getPath in interface IWizardComponent

getProperty

protected Object getProperty(String key,
                             IBasicEditingContext context)

get the property stored under from the session

setProperty

protected void setProperty(String key,
                           Object value,
                           IBasicEditingContext context)

set the property under in the session

setTempProperty

protected void setTempProperty(String key,
                               Object value,
                               IBasicEditingContext context)

Set the temporary property under in the session. The property will not be stored in the response and will thus be available only in this request.

isInitialized

public boolean isInitialized(IWizardContext context)

always returns true - override this function if your component needs dynamic initialization

Specified by:

isInitialized in interface IWizardComponent

Returns:

- has this component already been initialized?

init

public void init(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention does nothing on init

Specified by:

init in interface IWizardComponent

doBeforeDisplay

public void doBeforeDisplay(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention does nothing before display

Specified by:

doBeforeDisplay in interface IWizardComponent

getDisplay

public Component getDisplay(IWizardContext context)

the default implementation returns null - if your component has a display it should inherit AbstractDisplayComponent or AbstractInputComponent.

Specified by:

getDisplay in interface IWizardComponent

processInput

public void processInput(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention does no input processing.

Specified by:

processInput in interface IWizardComponent

doAfterSubmit

public void doAfterSubmit(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention does nothing

Specified by:

doAfterSubmit in interface IWizardComponent

wasChanged

public void wasChanged(IWizardContext context)

this method should be called whenever a component is changed. It clears all components dependent on this component or its parent components.

Specified by:

wasChanged in interface IDependencyObject

clearIfInconsistent

public void clearIfInconsistent(String changedObject,
                                IWizardContext context)

the default implementtion clears all values from this component's branch in the session.

Specified by:

clearIfInconsistent in interface IDependencyObject

isComplete

public boolean isComplete(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention returns true

getErrorMessages

public List getErrorMessages(IWizardContext context)

the default implemention returns null

Specified by:

getErrorMessages in interface IWizardComponent

Returns:

- If this component was not propperly filled by the user return a list of error messages indicating the missing fields or inconsistencies, otherwise return null;

isMandatory

public boolean isMandatory()

Specified by:

isMandatory in interface IWizardComponent

setMandatory

public void setMandatory(boolean iMandatory)

Specified by:

setMandatory in interface IWizardComponent

getControlInFocus
