Method Summary

boolean	processApproveDocument(ApproveDocumentEvent approveEvent) Runs all business rules needed prior to approving.
boolean	processRouteDocument(Document document) Runs all business rules needed prior to routing.
boolean	processSaveDocument(Document document) Runs all business rules needed prior to saving.
void	setupBaseConvenienceObjects(MaintenanceDocument document) This method sets the convenience objects like newAccount and oldAccount, so you have short and easy handles to the new and old objects contained in the maintenance document.
void	setupConvenienceObjects() This method should always be overriden if a subclass is created.

Method Detail

processSaveDocument

boolean processSaveDocument(Document document)

Runs all business rules needed prior to saving. This includes both common rules for all maintenance documents, plus class-specific business rules. This method will only return false if it fails the isValidForSave() test. Otherwise, it will always return positive regardless of the outcome of the business rules. However, any error messages resulting from the business rules will still be populated, for display to the consumer of this service.

processRouteDocument

boolean processRouteDocument(Document document)

Runs all business rules needed prior to routing. This includes both common rules for all maintenance documents, plus class-specific business rules. This method will return false if any business rule fails, or if the document is in an invalid state, and not routable (see isDocumentValidForRouting()).

RouteDocumentRule.processRouteDocument(org.kuali.rice.kns.document.Document)

processApproveDocument

boolean processApproveDocument(ApproveDocumentEvent approveEvent)

Runs all business rules needed prior to approving. This includes both common rules for all maintenance documents, plus class-specific business rules. This method will return false if any business rule fails, or if the document is in an invalid state, and not approvable (see isDocumentValidForApproving()).

ApproveDocumentRule.processApproveDocument(org.kuali.rice.kns.rule.event.ApproveDocumentEvent)

setupBaseConvenienceObjects

void setupBaseConvenienceObjects(MaintenanceDocument document)

This method sets the convenience objects like newAccount and oldAccount, so you have short and easy handles to the new and old objects contained in the maintenance document. It also calls the BusinessObjectBase.refresh(), which will attempt to load all sub-objects from the DB by their primary keys, if available.

Parameters:

document - - the maintenanceDocument being evaluated

setupConvenienceObjects

void setupConvenienceObjects()

This method should always be overriden if a subclass is created. The goal for this is to cast the oldBo and newBo into the correct types of the subclass.
