public abstract class JUCtrlValueBinding

extends JUControlBinding

implements StructureDef, JUCtrlInputValueHandler

A JUControlBinding class responsible for maintaining which attribute(s) of a row this binding can display/update. This class accepts a list of attribute names and gets the AttributeDef objects for those attributes from the associated ViewObject. This class also provides APIs to update values in a control given a new row or a set of rows. JUIteratorBinding uses APIs in this class to notify the controls of:

• Change in scrolling range if the control works with a range of rows
• Change in currency
• Row-inserted event
• Row-deleted event

This class also has accessor methods that return attribute values for Attributes with which this control binding is working. The indices of these attributes are ordered based on the names provided to this control binding in the constructor.

Primarily for spel support. Could be removed prior to 905Prod and merged into a get() method for spel-access.

Returns the last input value for the first attribute on this binding if this value raised an exception. Otherwise returns the value from the model object calling getAttribute(0);

setInputValue

public void setInputValue(java.lang.Object value)

Primarily for spel support. Could be removed prior to 905Prod and merged into a get() method for spel-access.

Sets the value given and caches any error/exception in member variables for further access. Also rethrows the exception for outer methods to catch it.

setInputValue

public void setInputValue(JUCtrlValueBinding binding,
                          int index,
                          java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: JUCtrlInputValueHandler

Implement value specific handling of the inputValue. For Example Intermedia domains know how to update their data based on a file url or Struts FileHandle as input value. JUCtrlValueBinding provides the base domain object (or null in which case it also provides access to the AttributeDef that contains the domain/value type). Custom implementation for the Intermedia domain may then update some fields on the domain instead of the entire domain Object.

Specified by:

setInputValue in interface JUCtrlInputValueHandler

Parameters:

binding - Control binding that is associated to the attribute to be updated.

index - Index of the attribute in this control binding to update with the given Input Value. Note that for most single attribute control like TextFields, this value should be 0.

processNewInputValue

public boolean processNewInputValue(java.lang.Object value)

Returns true, if the caller needs to call setInputValue() on this binding to update the current attribute value that this binding is set to.

If the value is different than the attribute value, or if this binding had cached an error in a pervious setInputValue, then this method returns true.

isNewInputValue

public boolean isNewInputValue(JUCtrlValueBinding binding,
                               int index,
                               java.lang.Object value)

Returns true, if the caller needs to call setInputValue() on this binding to update the current attribute value that this binding is set to.

If the value is different than the attribute value, or if this binding had cached an error in a pervious setInputValue, then this method returns true.

Specified by:

isNewInputValue in interface JUCtrlInputValueHandler

getError

public JboException getError()

Primarily for spel support.

Returns exception that occured on last setInputValue

Overrides:

getError in class DCControlBinding

getErrors

public java.util.List getErrors()

Primarily for spel support.

Returns exceptions that occured on last setInputValue

Overrides:

getErrors in class DCControlBinding

compareAndSetAttribute

public void compareAndSetAttribute(int index,
                                   java.lang.Object cVal)

Advanced method. Compares the value from the value for an attribute at the given index as stored by the data that this binding is bound to and if the value is different, then sets it on the bound attribute at the given index.

public void setInputValueHandler(JUCtrlInputValueHandler hdlr)
