Method Detail

eventParameter

public static java.lang.String eventParameter(java.lang.String name)

Returns the url parameter name to use for the input event parameter name. When rendering event parameters in html links or forms the url parameter names should always be generated by this method.

Parameters:

name - event parameter name.

Returns:

equivalent url parameter name.

eventName

public static java.lang.String eventName(java.lang.String name)

Returns the url parameter name to use for the input event name. When rendering an event name in html links or forms the url parameter name should always be generated by this method.

Parameters:

name - event name.

Returns:

equivalent url parameter name.

constructEventLink

public static java.lang.String constructEventLink(PortletRenderRequest pr,
                                                  java.lang.String eventName,
                                                  NameValuePair[] eventParameters,
                                                  boolean encodeParams,
                                                  boolean replaceParams)
                                           throws PortletException

Create a parameterized link for a portlet event. Note the input event parameter names should be the base name not an equivalent url parameter name obtained from eventParameter(String name). Consequently if you want to render a link that both contains event parameters and additional private portlet parameters you will have to construct it manually using the parameterizeLink method.

Parameters:

pr - the render request.

eventName - the event name.

eventParameters - an array of NameValuePair objects representing the event parameter names and associated values. Names cannot be NULL.

encodeParams - flag indicating whether the parameter names and values should be URL encoded using the multibyte URL encoder.

replaceParams - flag indicating whether parameters contained in the params array should replace existing parameters of the same name. true = replace or overwrite existing parameters. false = simply add parameters.

eventImageLink

public static java.lang.String eventImageLink(PortletRenderRequest pr,
                                              java.lang.String image,
                                              java.lang.String name,
                                              NameValuePair[] params,
                                              boolean encodeParams,
                                              boolean replaceParams)
                                       throws PortletException

Deprecated. use EventUtils.eventImageLink(PortletRenderRequest, String, String, String, NameValuePair[], boolean, boolean)

Helper method for rendering event image links.

Parameters:

pr - portlet render request.

image - name of the image to use.

name - event name.

parameters - event parameter name/values.

encodeParams - encode parameter name/values?

replaceParams - replace base url parameters of same name?

eventImageLink

public static java.lang.String eventImageLink(PortletRenderRequest pr,
                                              java.lang.String image,
                                              java.lang.String imageAltText,
                                              java.lang.String name,
                                              NameValuePair[] params,
                                              boolean encodeParams,
                                              boolean replaceParams)
                                       throws PortletException

Helper method for rendering event image links.

Parameters:

pr - portlet render request.

image - name of the image to use.

imageAltText - Text description of the image, used by JAWS so blind person can know what the image does. can be null, empty or a string

name - event name.

parameters - event parameter name/values.

encodeParams - encode parameter name/values?

replaceParams - replace base url parameters of same name?
