Method Detail

getBusinessTitleForClass

public static final String getBusinessTitleForClass(Class<? extends Object> clazz)

getFileNameFromPath

public static final List<String> getFileNameFromPath(List<String> fullFileNames)

Picks off the filename from the full path. Takes care of different OS seperators.

convertDecimalIntoInteger

public static final String convertDecimalIntoInteger(KualiDecimal decimalNumber)

Convert the given monney amount into an interger string. Since the return string cannot have decimal point, multiplies the amount by 100 so the decimal places are not lost, for example, 320.15 is converted into 32015.

Returns:

an integer string of the given money amount through multiplicating by 100 and removing the fraction portion.

getIntegerValue

public static Integer getIntegerValue(String numberStr)

createObject

public static Object createObject(Class<?> clazz,
                                  Class<?>[] argumentClasses,
                                  Object[] argumentValues)

joinWithQuotes

public static String joinWithQuotes(List<String> list)

getNamespaceCode

public static String getNamespaceCode(Class<? extends Object> clazz)

TODO this method will probably need to be exposed in a public KRADUtils class as it is used by several different modules. That will have to wait until ModuleService and KualiModuleService are moved to core though.

getNamespaceAndComponentSimpleName

public static Map<String,String> getNamespaceAndComponentSimpleName(Class<? extends Object> clazz)

getNamespaceAndComponentFullName

public static Map<String,String> getNamespaceAndComponentFullName(Class<? extends Object> clazz)

getNamespaceAndActionClass

public static Map<String,String> getNamespaceAndActionClass(Class<? extends Object> clazz)

convertStringParameterToMap

public static Map<String,String> convertStringParameterToMap(String parameter)

Parses a string that is in map format (commas separating map entries, colon separates map key/value) to a new map instance

Parameters:

parameter - - string parameter to parse

Returns:

Map instance populated from string parameter

convertStringParameterToList

public static List<String> convertStringParameterToList(String parameter)

Parses a string that is in list format (commas separating list entries) to a new List instance

Parameters:

parameter - - string parameter to parse

Returns:

List instance populated from string parameter

translateToMapSafeKey

public static String translateToMapSafeKey(String key)

Translates characters in the given string like brackets that will cause problems with binding to characters that do not affect the binding

Parameters:

key - - string to translate

Returns:

String translated string

buildMapParameterString

public static String buildMapParameterString(Map<String,String> map)

Builds a string from the given map by joining each entry with a comma and each key/value pair with a colon

Parameters:

map - - map instance to build string for

Returns:

String of map entries

getMapFromParameterString

public static Map<String,String> getMapFromParameterString(String parameterString)

Parses the given string into a Map by splitting on the comma to get the map entries and within each entry splitting by colon to get the key/value pairs

Parameters:

parameterString - - string to parse into map

Returns:

Map map from string

getRequestParameterAsBoolean

public static Boolean getRequestParameterAsBoolean(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                                   String parameterName)

Retrieves value for the given parameter name in the request and attempts to convert to a Boolean using the BooleanFormatter

Parameters:

request - - servlet request containing parameters

parameterName - - name of parameter to retrieve value for

Returns:

Boolean set to value of parameter, or null if parameter was not found in request

translateRequestParameterMap

public static Map<String,String> translateRequestParameterMap(Map<String,String[]> requestParameters)

Translates the given Map of String keys and String array values to a Map of String key and values. If the String array contains more than one value, the single string is built by joining the values with the vertical bar character

Parameters:

requestParameters - - Map of request parameters to translate

Returns:

Map translated Map

getParametersFromRequest

public static Map<String,String> getParametersFromRequest(List<String> parameterNames,

Returns:

Map containing entry for each property name with the property name as the map key and the property value as the value
