Method Detail

getLookupIdForBusinessObject

public String getLookupIdForBusinessObject(BusinessObject businessObject)

Builds a lookup id for the given business object

Specified by:

getLookupIdForBusinessObject in interface LookupResultsSupportStrategyService

Parameters:

businessObject - the lookup to generate an id for

Returns:

the String id

qualifiesForStrategy

public boolean qualifiesForStrategy(Class<? extends BusinessObject> boClass)

Determines if both the primary keys and Lookupable are present in the data dictionary definition; if so, the BO qualifies, but if either are missing, it does not

Specified by:

qualifiesForStrategy in interface LookupResultsSupportStrategyService

Parameters:

boClass - the class to test the determination on

Returns:

true if this strategy supports it, false otherwise

retrieveSelectedResultBOs

public <T extends BusinessObject> Collection<T> retrieveSelectedResultBOs(Class<T> boClass,
                                                                          Set<String> lookupIds)

getLookupableForBusinessObject

protected Lookupable getLookupableForBusinessObject(Class<? extends BusinessObject> businessObjectClass)

Retrieves the Lookupable for the given business object class

Parameters:

businessObjectClass - the class to find the Lookupable for

Returns:

the Lookupable, or null if nothing could be found

getPrimaryKeyFieldsForBusinessObject

protected List<String> getPrimaryKeyFieldsForBusinessObject(Class<? extends BusinessObject> businessObjectClass)

Returns the data dictionary defined primary keys for the given BusinessObject

Parameters:

                                                         Class<? extends BusinessObject> businessObjectClass)

Converts a lookup id into a PK field map to use to search in a lookupable

Parameters:

Returns:

a Map of field names and values which can be profitably used to search for matching business objects

convertPKFieldMapToLookupId
