Method Detail

paintContent

public void paintContent(PaintTarget target)
                  throws PaintException

Description copied from interface: LegacyComponent

Paints the Paintable into a UIDL stream. This method creates the UIDL sequence describing it and outputs it to the given UIDL stream.

It is called when the contents of the component should be painted in response to the component first being shown or having been altered so that its visual representation is changed.

Specified by:

paintContent in interface LegacyComponent

Parameters:

target - the target UIDL stream where the component should paint itself to.

Throws:

PaintException - if the paint operation failed.

setReadOnly

public void setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Description copied from class: AbstractField

Changes the readonly state and throw read-only status change events.

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface Property<java.lang.String>

Specified by:

setReadOnly in interface Component

Overrides:

setReadOnly in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

readOnly - a boolean value specifying whether the component is put read-only mode or not

See Also:

Component.setReadOnly(boolean)

selectAll

public void selectAll()

Selects all text in the rich text area. As a side effect, focuses the rich text area.

Since:

6.5

changeVariables

public void changeVariables(java.lang.Object source,
                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> variables)

Description copied from interface: VariableOwner

Called when one or more variables handled by the implementing class are changed.

Specified by:

changeVariables in interface VariableOwner

Parameters:

source - the Source of the variable change. This is the origin of the event. For example in Web Adapter this is the request.

variables - the Mapping from variable names to new variable values.

getType

public java.lang.Class<java.lang.String> getType()

Description copied from class: AbstractField

Returns the type of the Field. The methods getValue and setValue must be compatible with this type: one must be able to safely cast the value returned from getValue to the given type and pass any variable assignable to this type as an argument to setValue.

Specified by:

getType in interface Property<java.lang.String>

Specified by:

getType in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

Returns:

the type of the Field

getNullRepresentation

public java.lang.String getNullRepresentation()

Gets the null-string representation.

The null-valued strings are represented on the user interface by replacing the null value with this string. If the null representation is set null (not 'null' string), painting null value throws exception.

The default value is string 'null'.

Returns:

the String Textual representation for null strings.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.isNullSettingAllowed()

isNullSettingAllowed

public boolean isNullSettingAllowed()

Is setting nulls with null-string representation allowed.

If this property is true, writing null-representation string to text field always sets the field value to real null. If this property is false, null setting is not made, but the null values are maintained. Maintenance of null-values is made by only converting the textfield contents to real null, if the text field matches the null-string representation and the current value of the field is null.

By default this setting is false

Returns:

boolean Should the null-string represenation be always converted to null-values.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.getNullRepresentation()

setNullRepresentation

public void setNullRepresentation(java.lang.String nullRepresentation)

Sets the null-string representation.

The null-valued strings are represented on the user interface by replacing the null value with this string. If the null representation is set null (not 'null' string), painting null value throws exception.

The default value is string 'null'

Parameters:

nullRepresentation - Textual representation for null strings.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.setNullSettingAllowed(boolean)

setNullSettingAllowed

public void setNullSettingAllowed(boolean nullSettingAllowed)

Sets the null conversion mode.

If this property is true, writing null-representation string to text field always sets the field value to real null. If this property is false, null setting is not made, but the null values are maintained. Maintenance of null-values is made by only converting the textfield contents to real null, if the text field matches the null-string representation and the current value of the field is null.

By default this setting is false.

Parameters:

nullSettingAllowed - Should the null-string represenation be always converted to null-values.

See Also:

AbstractTextField.getNullRepresentation()

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Description copied from interface: Field

Is the field empty? In general, "empty" state is same as null. As an exception, TextField also treats empty string as "empty".

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Field<java.lang.String>

Overrides:

isEmpty in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

Returns:

true if the field is empty, false otherwise

clear

public void clear()

Description copied from interface: Field

Clears the value of the field.

The field value is typically reset to the initial value of the field. Calling Field.isEmpty() on a cleared field must always returns true.

Specified by:

clear in interface Field<java.lang.String>

Overrides:

clear in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

readDesign

public void readDesign(org.jsoup.nodes.Element design,
                       DesignContext designContext)

Description copied from interface: Component

Reads the component state from the given design.

The component is responsible not only for updating its own state but also for ensuring that its children update their state based on the design.

It is assumed that the component is in its default state when this method is called. Reading should only take into consideration attributes specified in the design and not reset any unspecified attributes to their defaults.

This method must not modify the design.

Specified by:

readDesign in interface Component

Overrides:

readDesign in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

design - The element to obtain the state from

designContext - The DesignContext instance used for parsing the design

writeDesign

public void writeDesign(org.jsoup.nodes.Element design,
                        DesignContext designContext)

Description copied from interface: Component

Writes the component state to the given design.

The component is responsible not only for writing its own state but also for ensuring that its children write their state to the design.

This method must not modify the component state.

Specified by:

writeDesign in interface Component

Overrides:

writeDesign in class AbstractField<java.lang.String>

Parameters:

design - The element to write the component state to. Any previous attributes or child nodes are not cleared.

designContext - The DesignContext instance used for writing the design
