public class SortDefinition
extends DataDictionaryDefinitionBase

The defaultSort element specifies the sequence in which the lookup search results should be displayed

It contains an ascending/descending indicator and a list of attribute names. JSTL: defaultSort is a Map with the following keys: sortAscending (boolean String) and sortAttributes (Map). By the time JSTL export occurs, the optional attributeName from the defaultSort tag will have been converted into the first contained sortAttribute.

public SortDefinition()

Method Detail

setAttributeName

public void setAttributeName(String attributeName)

The sortAttribute element defines one part of the sort key. The full sort key is comprised of the sortAttribute's in the order in which they have been defined. DD: See SortAttributesDefinition.java. JSTL: sortAttribute is a Map which is accessed using a key of the attributeName of the sortAttribute. It contains a single entry with the following key: "attributeName" The associated value is the attributeName of the sortAttribute. See LookupMapBuilder.java

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given attributeName is blank

getAttributeNames

public List<String> getAttributeNames()

Returns:

the List of associated attribute names as Strings

getSortAscending

public boolean getSortAscending()

Indicates that the items must be sorted in ascending order

Returns:

true if items should sort in ascending order

setSortAscending

public void setSortAscending(boolean sortAscending)

Setter for the flag to indicate ascending sorting of items

Parameters:

sortAscending -

completeValidation

public void completeValidation(Class rootBusinessObjectClass,
                               Class otherBusinessObjectClass)

Directly validate simple fields

Parameters:

rootBusinessObjectClass - Class of the BusinessObjectEntry which ultimately contains this definition

otherBusinessObjectClass - other stuff required to complete validation

See Also:

DataDictionaryDefinition.completeValidation(Class, Class)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

See Also:

Object.toString()

setAttributeNames

public void setAttributeNames(List<String> attributeNames)

The sortAttributes element allows a multiple-part sort key to be defined JSTL: sortAttributes is a Map which is accessed using a key of "sortAttributes". This map contains an entry for sort attribute. The key is: attributeName of a sort field. The associated value is a sortAttribute ExportMap.
