public class UrlInfo
extends UifDictionaryBeanBase
implements Serializable

This object represents a url in the Krad framework. The url can be set explicitly to a specific href or a controller plus a viewId can be provided (at very minimum). By default, the krad base bean config points the baseUrl property to 'krad.url' configuration property and the methodToCall to 'start', but these can be reset to any value as needed.

If href is not set, the generated value of href is constructed (in general) as follows:
baseUrl + /controllerMapping + ? + methodToCall param + viewId param + other parameters
with any necessary tokens to construct a valid url. If baseUrl is not provided, the url is not valid and a blank string is returned.

Constructor Detail

UrlInfo

public UrlInfo()

Base constructor

UrlInfo

public UrlInfo(String href)

Constructor that initializes an href value

Parameters:

href - the href value

UrlInfo

public UrlInfo(String baseUrl,
               String controllerMapping,
               String viewId,
               String methodToCall)

Constructor that sets the base url construction properties

Parameters:

baseUrl - the baseUrl

controllerMapping - the controllerMapping

viewId - the id of the view

methodToCall - the methodToCall

Method Detail

generateUrl

protected String generateUrl()

Generate the url based on properties of this object

Returns:

the generatedUrl, blank if not a valid url (no baseUrl value provided)

getHref

public String getHref()

Get the href value for this url object. This is the main call to this url object as it provides the full href value represented by this object.

If href has NOT been explicitly set to a value, the href is generated by constructing pieces of the url set through the properties of this url object. The generated value of href is constructed (in general) as follows:
baseUrl + /controllerMapping + ? + methodToCall param + viewId param + other parameters
with any necessary tokens to construct a valid url. If baseUrl is not provided, the url is not valid and a blank string is returned.

Returns:

THE href represented by this url object, or blank if not valid

setHref

public void setHref(String href)

Explicitly set the href value - if this is called with a value, all other properties of the url object are ignored. This call is basically a full override. This also sets the orginalHref value.

Parameters:

href -

getBaseUrl

public String getBaseUrl()

The base url value (the value that comes before other properties). Default base bean value is set to use 'krad.url' of the configuration properties.

Returns:

the baseUrl

setBaseUrl

public void setBaseUrl(String baseUrl)

Set the baseUrl

Parameters:

baseUrl -

getControllerMapping

public String getControllerMapping()

The controllerMapping for the url (string that represents the controllerMapping path appended to baseUrl)

Returns:

the controllerMapping string

setControllerMapping

public void setControllerMapping(String controllerMapping)

Set the controllerMapping

Parameters:

controllerMapping -

getViewType

public String getViewType()

The viewType representing the View's base type

Returns:

the viewType

setViewType

public void setViewType(String viewType)

Set the viewType

Parameters:

viewType -

getViewId

public String getViewId()

ViewId representing the view by id to retrieve

Returns:

the viewId

setViewId

public void setViewId(String viewId)

Set viewId

Parameters:

viewId -

getPageId

public String getPageId()

PageId representing the page of the view to retrieve by id

Returns:

the pageId

setPageId

public void setPageId(String pageId)

Set pageId

Parameters:

pageId -

getFormKey

public String getFormKey()

FormKey representing the key of the form data to retrieve

Returns:

the formKey

setFormKey

public void setFormKey(String formKey)

Set the formKey

Parameters:

formKey -

getMethodToCall

public String getMethodToCall()

MethodToCall representing the methodToCall on the controller (default base bean value is 'start')

Returns:

methodToCall on controller

setMethodToCall

public void setMethodToCall(String methodToCall)

Set the methodToCall

Parameters:

methodToCall -

getRequestParameters

public Map<String,String> getRequestParameters()

Map of key value pairs that will be appended to the request parameters to pass in any custom data

getOriginalHref

public String getOriginalHref()

toString override returns the href value of url

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:
