Method Detail

getValue

public abstract T getValue(Item item,
                           Object itemId,
                           Object propertyId)

Deprecated.

Returns value for given Item. Used by GeneratedPropertyContainer when generating new properties.

Parameters:

item - currently handled item

itemId - item id for currently handled item

propertyId - id for this property

Returns:

generated value

getType

public abstract Class<T> getType()

Deprecated.

Return Property type for this generator. This function is called when Property.getType() is called for generated property.

Returns:

type of generated property

getSortProperties

public SortOrder[] getSortProperties(SortOrder order)

Deprecated.

Translates sorting of the generated property in a specific direction to a set of property ids and directions in the underlying container.

SortOrder is similar to (or the same as) the SortOrder already defined for Grid.

The default implementation of this method returns an empty array, which means that the property will not be included in getSortableContainerPropertyIds(). Attempting to sort by that column throws UnsupportedOperationException. Returning null is not allowed.

Parameters:

order - a sort order for this property

Returns:

an array of sort orders describing how this property is sorted

modifyFilter

public Container.Filter modifyFilter(Container.Filter filter)
                              throws UnsupportedFilterException

Deprecated.

Return an updated filter that should be compatible with the underlying container.

This function is called when setting a filter for this generated property. Returning null from this function causes GeneratedPropertyContainer to discard the filter and not use it.

By default this function throws UnsupportedFilterException.

Parameters:

filter - original filter for this property

Returns:

modified filter that is compatible with the underlying container

Throws:

UnsupportedFilterException - if the implementation doesn't support modifying the provided filter
