Method Detail

copyFromAttributeDefinition

void copyFromAttributeDefinition(AttributeDefinition attributeDefinition)

Defaults the properties of the DataField to the corresponding properties of its AttributeDefinition retrieved from the dictionary (if such an entry exists). If the field already contains a value for a property, the definitions value is not used.

Parameters:

attributeDefinition - AttributeDefinition instance the property values should be copied from

isInputAllowed

boolean isInputAllowed()

Indicates whether the data field instance allows input, subclasses should override and set to true if input is allowed

Returns:

true if input is allowed, false if read only

setPropertyName

void setPropertyName(String propertyName)

Setter for the component's property name

Parameters:

propertyName -

getPropertyEditor

PropertyEditor getPropertyEditor()

Performs formatting of the field value for display and then converting the value back to its expected type from a string

Note property editors exist and are already registered for the basic Java types and the common Kuali types such as [@link KualiDecimal}. Registration with this property is only needed for custom property editors

Returns:

PropertyEditor property editor instance to use for this field

setPropertyEditor

void setPropertyEditor(PropertyEditor propertyEditor)

Setter for the custom property editor to use for the field

Parameters:

propertyEditor -

setPropertyEditorClass

void setPropertyEditorClass(Class<? extends PropertyEditor> propertyEditorClass)

Convenience setter for configuring a property editor by class

Parameters:

propertyEditorClass -

getName

String getName()

Returns the full binding path (the path used in the name attribute of the input). This differs from propertyName in that it uses BindingInfo to determine the path.

Returns:

full binding path name

getDictionaryAttributeName

String getDictionaryAttributeName()

Name of the attribute within the data dictionary the attribute field is associated with

During the initialize phase for the View, properties for attribute fields are defaulted from a corresponding AttributeDefinition in the data dictionary. Based on the propertyName and parent object class the framework attempts will determine the attribute definition that is associated with the field and set this property. However this property can also be set in the fields configuration to use another dictionary attribute.

The attribute name is used along with the dictionary object entry to find the AttributeDefinition

Returns:

attribute name

setDictionaryAttributeName

void setDictionaryAttributeName(String dictionaryAttributeName)

Setter for the dictionary attribute name

Parameters:

dictionaryAttributeName -

getDictionaryObjectEntry

String getDictionaryObjectEntry()

Object entry name in the data dictionary the associated attribute is apart of

During the initialize phase for the View, properties for attribute fields are defaulted from a corresponding AttributeDefinition in the data dictionary. Based on the parent object class the framework will determine the object entry for the associated attribute. However the object entry can be set in the field's configuration to use another object entry for the attribute

The attribute name is used along with the dictionary object entry to find the AttributeDefinition

Returns:

String

setDictionaryObjectEntry

void setDictionaryObjectEntry(String dictionaryObjectEntry)

Setter for the dictionary object entry

Parameters:

dictionaryObjectEntry -

getDefaultValue

Object getDefaultValue()

Default value for the model property the field points to

When a new View instance is requested, the corresponding model will be newly created. During this initialization process the value for the model property will be set to the given default value, if it was null. This will only work on properties which can be determined to be null. Therefore a String property with an empty string value will not be ovewritten with the defaultValue set here.

In addition, int, boolean, and other primitive types will not use this default value because they inherently have a value in Java (0 for int, false for boolean, etc). To use such types either using a primitive wrapper type (Integer, Boolean, etc) so an unset variable can be determined to be null, or explicitly set the default value on the form/object itself for these types and not through this property.

Returns:

default value

setDefaultValue

void setDefaultValue(Object defaultValue)

Setter for the fields default value

Parameters:

defaultValue -

getDefaultValueFinderClass

Class<? extends ValueFinder> getDefaultValueFinderClass()

void setDefaultValueFinderClass(Class<? extends ValueFinder> defaultValueFinderClass)

Setter for the default value finder class

Parameters:

getDefaultValues

Object[] getDefaultValues()

Array of default values for the model property the field points to

When a new View instance is requested, the corresponding model will be newly created. During this initialization process the value for the model property will be set to the given default values (if set)

Returns:

default value

setDefaultValues

void setDefaultValues(Object[] defaultValues)

Setter for the fields default values

Parameters:

defaultValues -

getForcedValue
