Method Detail

getEntryClass

public abstract Class getEntryClass()

getAttributeDefinition

public AttributeDefinition getAttributeDefinition(String attributeName)

Specified by:

getAttributeDefinition in interface DataDictionaryEntry

attributeName -

Returns:

AttributeDefinition with the given name, or null if none with that name exists

completeValidation

public void completeValidation()

Directly validate simple fields, call completeValidation on Definition fields.

Specified by:

completeValidation in interface DataDictionaryEntry

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(List<AttributeDefinition> attributes)

The attributes element contains attribute elements. These define the specifications for business object fields. JSTL: attributes is a Map which is accessed by a key of "attributes". This map contains entries with the following keys: attributeName of first attribute attributeName of second attribute etc. The corresponding value for each entry is an attribute ExportMap. By the time the JSTL export happens, all attributeReferences will be indistinguishable from attributes. See AttributesMapBuilder.java The attribute element specifies the way in which a business object field appears on a screen for data entry or display purposes. These specifications include the following: The title and formatting of the field Descriptive information about the field The edits used at time of data-entry DD: See AttributeDefinition.java JSTL: attribute is a Map which is accessed using a key which is the attributeName of an attribute. Each entry contains the following keys: name (String) forceUppercase (boolean String) label (String) shortLabel (String, copied from label if not present) maxLength (String) exclusiveMin (bigdecimal String) exclusiveMax (bigdecimal String) validationPattern (Map, optional) required (boolean String) control (Map) summary (String) description (String) formatterClass (String, optional) fullClassName (String) displayWorkgroup(String, optional) displayMaskClass(String, optional) See AttributesMapBuilder.java Note: exclusiveMax is mapped from the inclusiveMax element! The validation logic seems to be assuming inclusiveMax.

setCollections

public void setCollections(List<CollectionDefinition> collections)

The collections element contains collection elements. These define the lists of other business objects which are related to and defined in the business objects. JSTL: collections is a Map which is accessed by a key of "collections". This map contains entries with the following keys: name of first collection name of second collection etc. The corresponding value for each entry is a collection ExportMap. The collection element defines the name and description a list of objects related to the business object. DD: See CollectionDefinition.java. JSTL: collection is a Map which is accessed using a key which is the name of the collection. Each entry contains the following keys: name (String) label (String) shortLabel (String, copied from label if missing) elementLabel (String, copied from contained class if missing) summary (String) description (String) See CollectionsMapBuilder.java.

setRelationships

public void setRelationships(List<RelationshipDefinition> relationships)

The relationships element contains relationship elements. These are used to map attribute names to fields in a reference object. JSTL: relationships is a Map which is accessed by a key of "relationships". This map contains entries with the following keys: objectAttributeName of first relationship objectAttributeName of second relationship etc. The corresponding value for each entry is a relationship ExportMap. The relationship element defines how primitive attributes of this class can be used to retrieve an instance of some related Object instance DD: See RelationshipDefinition.java. JSTL: relationship is a Map which is accessed using a key which is the objectAttributeName of a relationship. The map contains a single entry with a key of "primitiveAttributes" and value which is an attributesMap ExportMap. The attributesMap ExportMap contains the following keys: 0 (for first primitiveAttribute) 1 (for second primitiveAttribute) etc. The corresponding value for each entry is an primitiveAttribute ExportMap which contains the following keys: "sourceName" "targetName" See RelationshipsMapBuilder.java.
