Shows the modal dialog that is used to add an item to a given collection. There are several possible outcomes of this call depending on the type of the specified collection field.

• Basic Collection (Persist) - Renders a blank form for the specified target entity so that the user may enter information and associate the record with this collection. Used by fields such as ProductAttribute.
• Basic Collection (Lookup) - Renders a list grid that allows the user to click on an entity and select it. Used by fields such as "allParentCategories".
• Adorned Collection (without form) - Renders a list grid that allows the user to click on an entity and select it. The view rendered by this is identical to basic collection (lookup), but will perform the operation on an adorned field, which may carry extra meta-information about the created relationship, such as order.
• Adorned Collection (with form) - Renders a list grid that allows the user to click on an entity and select it. Once the user selects the entity, he will be presented with an empty form based on the specified "maintainedAdornedTargetFields" for this field. Used by fields such as "crossSellProducts", which in addition to linking an entity, provide extra fields, such as a promotional message.
• Map Collection - Renders a form for the target entity that has an additional key field. This field is populated either from the configured map keys, or as a result of a lookup in the case of a key based on another entity. Used by fields such as the mediaMap on a Sku.

initBinder

@InitBinder
public void initBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.WebDataBinder binder)

Invoked on every request to provide the ability to register specific binders for Spring's binding process. By default, we register a binder that treats empty Strings as null and a Boolean editor that supports either true or false. If the value is passed in as null, it will treat it as false.

Parameters:

binder -

getDynamicForm

protected String getDynamicForm(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                                org.springframework.ui.Model model,

                         throws Exception

Returns a partial representing a dynamic form. An example of this is the dynamic fields that render on structured content, which are determined by the currently selected structured content type. This method is typically only invoked through Javascript and used to replace the current dynamic form with the one for the newly selected type.

Parameters:

request -

response -

model -

pathVars -

info -

Returns:

the return view path

Throws:

Exception

getCollectionListGrid

protected ListGrid getCollectionListGrid(ClassMetadata mainMetadata,
                                         Entity entity,
                                         Property collectionProperty,
                                         org.springframework.util.MultiValueMap<String,String> requestParams,
                                         String sectionKey)
                                  throws ServiceException

Convenience method for obtaining a ListGrid DTO object for a collection. Note that if no criteria is available, then this should be null (or empty)

Parameters:

mainMetadata - class metadata for the root entity that this collectionProperty relates to

id - foreign key from the root entity for collectionProperty

collectionProperty - property that this collection should be based on from the root entity

form - the criteria form model attribute

sectionKey - the current main section key

Returns:

the list grid

Throws:

ServiceException

getBlankDynamicFieldTemplateForm

protected EntityForm getBlankDynamicFieldTemplateForm(DynamicEntityFormInfo info)
                                               throws ServiceException

Convenience method for obtaining a blank dynamic field template form. For example, if the main entity form should render different fields depending on the value of a specific field in that main form itself, the "dynamic" fields are generated by this method. Because this is invoked when a new value is chosen, the form generated by this method will never have values set.

Parameters:

info -

Returns:

the entity form

Throws:

ServiceException

getDynamicFieldTemplateForm

protected EntityForm getDynamicFieldTemplateForm(DynamicEntityFormInfo info,
                                                 String entityId)
                                          throws ServiceException

Convenience method for obtaining a dynamic field template form for a particular entity. This method differs from getBlankDynamicFieldTemplateForm(DynamicEntityFormInfo) in that it will fill out the current values for the fields in this dynamic form from the database. This method is invoked when the initial view of a page containing a dynamic form is triggered.

Parameters:

info -

entityId -

Returns:

the entity form

Throws:

ServiceException

getSectionKey

protected String getSectionKey(Map<String,String> pathVars)

This method is used to determine the current section key. For this default implementation, the sectionKey is pulled from the pathVariable, {sectionKey}, as defined by the request mapping on this controller. To support controller inheritance and allow more specialized controllers to delegate some methods to this basic controller, overridden implementations of this method could return a hardcoded value instead of reading the map

Parameters:

pathVars - - the map of all currently bound path variables for this request

Returns:

the sectionKey for this request

getCriteria

protected FilterAndSortCriteria[] getCriteria(Map<String,List<String>> requestParams)

Helper method to return an array of FilterAndSortCriteria based on a map of propertyName -> list of criteria value. This will also grab the sorts off of the request parameters, if any.

The multi-valued map allows users to specify multiple criteria values per property, as well as multiple sort properties and sort directions. For multiple sort properties and sort directions, these would usually come in as request parameters like:

....?sortProperty=defaultSku.name&sortProperty=manufacturer&sortDirection=ASCENDING&sortDirection=DESCENDING

This would attach criteria such that defaultSku.name was sorted ascending, and manufacturer was sorted descending

Parameters:

requestParams - usually a MultiValueMap that has been bound by a controller to receive all of the request parameters that are not explicitly named

Returns:

the final array of FilterAndSortCriteria to pass to the fetch

See Also:

#getSortPropertyNames(Map)}, #getSortDirections(Map)}

getStartIndex

protected Integer getStartIndex(Map<String,List<String>> requestParams)

Obtains the requested start index parameter

Parameters:

requestParams -

Returns:

getMaxIndex

protected Integer getMaxIndex(Map<String,List<String>> requestParams)

Obtains the requested max index parameter

Parameters:

requestParams -

Returns:

getSortDirections

protected List<String> getSortDirections(Map<String,List<String>> requestParams)

Obtains the list of sort directions from the bound request parameters. Note that these should appear in the same relative order as getSortPropertyNames(Map)

Parameters:

requestParams -

Returns:

getSortPropertyNames

protected List<String> getSortPropertyNames(Map<String,List<String>> requestParams)

Obtains the list of property names to sort on from the bound request parameters. Note that these should appear in the same relative order as getSortDirections(Map).

Parameters:

requestParams -

Returns:

getClassNameForSection

protected String getClassNameForSection(String sectionKey)

Gets the fully qualified ceiling entity classname for this section. If this section is not explicitly defined in the database, will return the value passed into this function. For example, if there is a mapping from "/myentity" to "com.mycompany.myentity", both "http://localhost/myentity" and "http://localhost/com.mycompany.myentity" are valid request paths.

Parameters:

sectionKey -

Returns:

the className for this sectionKey if found in the database or the sectionKey if not

getAddEntityTypes

protected List<ClassTree> getAddEntityTypes(ClassTree classTree)

If there are certain types of entities that should not be allowed to be created, an override of this method would be able to specify that. It could also add additional types if desired.

Parameters:

classTree -

getDefaultEntityType

protected String getDefaultEntityType()

This method is called when attempting to add new entities that have a polymorphic tree. If this method returns null, there is no default type set for this particular entity type, and the user will be presented with a selection of possible types to utilize. If it returns a non-null value, the returned fullyQualifiedClassname will be used and will bypass the selection step.

Returns:

null if there is no default type, otherwise the default type

getSectionCustomCriteria

protected String[] getSectionCustomCriteria()

This method is invoked for every request for this controller. By default, we do not want to specify a custom criteria, but specialized controllers may want to.

Returns:

the custom criteria for this section for all requests, if any

attachSectionSpecificInfo

protected void attachSectionSpecificInfo(PersistencePackageRequest ppr)

A hook method that is invoked every time the getSectionPersistencePackageRequest(String) method is invoked. This allows specialized controllers to hook into every request and manipulate the persistence package request as desired.

Parameters:

ppr -

setModelAttributes

protected void setModelAttributes(org.springframework.ui.Model model,
                                  String sectionKey)

Attributes to add to the model on every request

Parameters:

model -

sectionKey -

getSectionPersistencePackageRequest

protected PersistencePackageRequest getSectionPersistencePackageRequest(String sectionClassName)

Returns a PersistencePackageRequest for the given sectionClassName. Will also invoke the getSectionCustomCriteria() and attachSectionSpecificInfo(PersistencePackageRequest) to allow specialized controllers to manipulate the request for every action in this controller.

Parameters:

sectionClassName -

Returns:

the PersistencePacakageRequest

getSectionPersistencePackageRequest

protected PersistencePackageRequest getSectionPersistencePackageRequest(String sectionClassName,
                                                                        org.springframework.util.MultiValueMap<String,String> requestParams)
