Class ProductFeature

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable

    public class ProductFeature
    extends GeneratedProductFeature
    A product features is used to describe a property of a product. It is identified by its qualifier and it contains one or more values. Additionally a unit, description and value details may be specified. Product feature are used mainly to allow generic representation of features of imported catalog products. When modeling own product features you may rather consider to use the platforms property concept.

      • createItem

        protected Item createItem​(SessionContext ctx,
                                  ComposedType type,
                                  Item.ItemAttributeMap allAttributes)
                           throws JaloBusinessException
        Description copied from class: Item
        Has to be implemented for each concrete subtype of item. This method is responsible for creating a new item instance ( by calling managers, ejb homes, etc. ) during ComposedType.newInstance(Map).

        In case this method uses any of the attribute values during creation it is required to override Item.getNonInitialAttributes(SessionContext, ItemAttributeMap) too.
        Sn example:

        
         public static final String MY_ATTRIBUTE = "someAttribute"; ... protected Item createItem(SessionContext
         ctx, ComposedType type, Map allAttributes ) throws JaloBusinessException { MyManager man = ... return
         man.createMyItem( (String)allAttributes.get(MY_ATTRIBUTE) );
         // here MY_ATTRIBUTE is used for creation, so it must not be set again } protected Map getNonInitialAttributes(
         SessionContext ctx, Map allAttributes ) { // let superclass remove its own initial attributes Map ret =
         super.getNonInitialAttributes( ctx, allAttributes );
         // remove MY_ATTRIBUTE from all attributes since if has already been set ret.remove(MY_ATTRIBUTE); return ret; }
        
         
        Overrides:
        createItem in class GeneratedProductFeature
        Parameters:
        ctx - the current session context which this item is created within
        type - the actual item type ( since subtypes may not provide a own jalo class this may be different from the type which this method was implemented for )
        Returns:
        the new item instance
        Throws:
        JaloBusinessException - indicates an error during creation - any changes will be rollbacked
      • getInitialProperties

        protected JaloPropertyContainer getInitialProperties​(JaloSession jaloSession,
                                                             Item.ItemAttributeMap allAttributes)
        Description copied from class: GenericItem
        Override to specify all properties which should be written during ejbCreate. This way is is possible to implement non-null property fields ( means property fields which are written in SQL INSERT ). Properties which are set via Item.setNonInitialAttributes(SessionContext, Item, Item.ItemAttributeMap) are usually written by additional SQL UPDATE statements.
         protected JaloPropertyContainer getInitialProperties(ItemAttributeMap allAttributes)
         {
                JaloPropertyContainer cont = jaloSession.createPropertyContainer();
                cont.setProperty("key", (Serializable) allAttributes.get("myKey"));
                return cont;
         }
         

        The default implementation collects all initial properties (localized and unlocalized ones), which were registered by calling allAttributes.setAttributeMode( MYPROPERTY, Item.AttributeMode.INITIAL ); inside MyType#createItem( SessionContext , ComposedType , Item.ItemAttributeMap ).

        Overrides:
        getInitialProperties in class GenericItem
        Parameters:
        jaloSession - the jalo session which the new item is create within
        allAttributes - the attribute values of the new item

      • remove

        public void remove​(SessionContext ctx)
                    throws ConsistencyCheckException
        Description copied from class: Item
        Removes this item.

        This method is using the following attributes of the given SessionContext:

        CacheUsage   Language   StagingMethod
        n/a (this is a setter method)   no, language doesn't matter for removal   yes if called on a StageableItem, no otherwise


        Overrides:
        remove in class Item
        Parameters:
        ctx - A SessionContext object
        Throws:
        ConsistencyCheckException - if this item could not be removed for some reason
