Method Detail

getItemAttributes

public static ArrayList getItemAttributes(com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.ComponentDescriptor compDescriptor,
                                          NmCommandBean cb,
                                          NmContext nmcontext)
                                   throws WTException

Gets a TypeInstance for a wizard table or property panel displaying the attributes of an object being created or edited. The table can be view-only or editable. View-only tables can be used to display attribute values entered by the user on previous wizard steps or attribute values derived from the launch context.

The returned TypeInstance is used by the data utilities to provide localized attribute labels; default and pregenerated values for create operations; existing attribute values for edit operations; and information as to the visibility of and constraints on an attribute.

This method is typically invoked from a jsp page using the getModel tag. For example:

<jca:getModel var="tableModel" descriptor="${attributesTableDescriptor}"
serviceName="com.ptc.core.components.util.CreateAndEditModelGetter"
methodName="getItemAttributes">
<jca:addServiceArgument value="${attributesTableDescriptor}" type="com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.ComponentDescriptor"/>
<jca:addServiceArgument value="${commandBean}" type="com.ptc.netmarkets.util.beans.NmCommandBean"/>
<jca:addServiceArgument value="${nmcontext.context}" type="com.ptc.netmarkets.util.misc.NmContext"/>
</jca:getModel>

Parameters:

compDescriptor - - Descriptor for the table to be displayed. This contains descriptors for each attribute to be displayed. Required. Input.

cb - - Bean holding the identity of the object being displayed and its form data. Required. Input.

nmcontext - - The NmContext for the current jsp page. Required. Input

Returns:

a List containing one TypeInstance


Supported API: true

Throws:

WTException

getItemClassificationAttributes

public static ArrayList<TypeInstance> getItemClassificationAttributes(com.ptc.core.components.descriptor.ComponentDescriptor compDescriptor,
                                                                      NmCommandBean cb,
                                                                      NmContext nmcontext)
                                                               throws WTException,
                                                                      WTPropertyVetoException
