All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Copyable, DictionaryBean, UifDictionaryBean

public class AttributeQuery
extends UifDictionaryBeanBase
implements Serializable

Holds configuration for executing a dynamic query on an InputField to pull data for updating the UI

There are two types of query types that can be configured and executed. The first is provided completely by the framework using the LookupService and will perform a query against the configured dataObjectClassName using the query parameters and return field mapping. The second type will invoke a method that will perform the query. This can be configured using the queryMethodToCall (if the method is on the view helper service), or using the queryMethodInvoker if the method is on another class or object.

public String getReturnFieldMappingJsString()

Builds String for passing the returnFieldMapping Map as a Javascript object parameter

Returns:

js parameter string

getQueryMethodArgumentFieldsJsString

public String getQueryMethodArgumentFieldsJsString()

Builds String for passing the queryMethodArgumentFieldList as a Javascript Object

Returns:

js parameter string

hasConfiguredMethod

public boolean hasConfiguredMethod()

Indicates whether this attribute query is configured to invoke a custom method as opposed to running the general object query. If either the query method to call is given, or the query method invoker is not null it is assumed the intention is to call a custom method

Returns:

true if a custom method is configured, false if not

getDataObjectClassName

public String getDataObjectClassName()

Class name for the data object the query should be performed against

Returns:

data object class name

setDataObjectClassName

public void setDataObjectClassName(String dataObjectClassName)

Setter for the query data object class name

Parameters:

dataObjectClassName -

getQueryFieldMapping

public Map<String,String> getQueryFieldMapping()

Configures the query parameters by mapping fields in the view to properties on the data object class for the query
