getEmptyValue

public String getEmptyValue()

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Returns the value that represents an empty value.

By default HasValue is expected to support null as empty values. Specific implementations might not support this.

Specified by:

getEmptyValue in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Overrides:

getEmptyValue in class AbstractField<TextArea,String>

Returns:

empty value

setValue

public void setValue(String value)

Sets the value of this text area. If the new value is not equal to getValue(), fires a value change event. Throws NullPointerException, if the value is null.

Note: Binder will take care of the null conversion when integrates with text area, as long as no new converter is defined.

Specified by:

setValue in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Overrides:

setValue in class AbstractField<TextArea,String>

Parameters:

value - the new value, not null

getValue

public String getValue()

Returns the current value of the text area. By default, the empty text area will return an empty string.

Specified by:

getValue in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Overrides:

getValue in class AbstractField<TextArea,String>

Returns:

the current value.

setRequiredIndicatorVisible

public void setRequiredIndicatorVisible(boolean requiredIndicatorVisible)

Description copied from interface: HasValue

Sets the required indicator visible or not.

If set visible, it is visually indicated in the user interface.

The method is intended to be used with Binder which does server-side validation. In case HTML element has its own (client-side) validation it should be disabled when setRequiredIndicatorVisible(true) is called and re-enabled back on setRequiredIndicatorVisible(false). It's responsibility of each component implementation to follow the contract so that the method call doesn't do anything else than show/hide the "required" indication. Usually components provide their own setRequired method which should be called in case the client-side validation is required.

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Specified by:

setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<TextArea,String>,String>

Parameters:

requiredIndicatorVisible - true to make the required indicator visible, false if not

validate

protected void validate()

Performs server-side validation of the current value. This is needed because it is possible to circumvent the client-side validation constraints using browser development tools.

Overrides:

validate in class GeneratedVaadinTextArea<TextArea,String>

onAttach

protected void onAttach(AttachEvent attachEvent)

Description copied from class: Component

Called when the component is attached to a UI.

The default implementation does nothing.

This method is invoked before the AttachEvent is fired for the component.

Overrides:

onAttach in class Component

Parameters:

attachEvent - the attach event
