Parameters:

cmd - metadata that the created EntityForm should use to initialize its fields

entity -

Returns:

the EntityForm

Throws:

ServiceException

See Also:

#createEntityForm(ClassMetadata)}

populateEntityForm

Parameters:

cmd -

entity -

ef -

Throws:

ServiceException

See Also:

#populateEntityForm(ClassMetadata, EntityForm)}

populateEntityFormFieldValues

void populateEntityFormFieldValues(ClassMetadata cmd,
                                 Entity entity,
                                 EntityForm ef)

Populates the given EntityForm with values based on the Entity that has been passed in. The ClassMetadata is used to determine which properties should be attempted to be populated

Parameters:

cmd - 'inspect' metadata for the class being populated

entity - the Entity that should be used to fill out the field values in the given EntityForm

ef - the EntityForm to populate field values from the given Entity

createEntityForm

EntityForm createEntityForm(ClassMetadata cmd,
                          Entity entity,
                          Map<String,DynamicResultSet> collectionRecords,
                          List<SectionCrumb> sectionCrumbs)
                            throws ServiceException

Builds an EntityForm that has all of the appropriate fields set up along with the values for those fields from the given Entity as well as all sub-collections of the given Entity that appear in the collectionRecords map. This method simply delegates to create a standard EntityForm (that has a save action) and then populates that EntityForm using #populateEntityForm(ClassMetadata, Entity, Map, EntityForm). NOTE: if you are submitting a validation result, you must not call this method and instead invoke the one that has an EntityForm as a parameter. You cannot re-assign the entityForm to the model after it has already been bound to a BindingResult, else the binding result will be removed.

Parameters:

cmd -

entity -

collectionRecords -

Returns:

the EntityForm

Throws:

ServiceException

See Also:

#populateEntityForm(ClassMetadata, Entity, Map, EntityForm)}

populateEntityForm

void populateEntityForm(ClassMetadata cmd,
                      Entity entity,
                      Map<String,DynamicResultSet> collectionRecords,
                      EntityForm entityForm,
                      List<SectionCrumb> sectionCrumbs)
                        throws ServiceException

Builds an EntityForm that has all of the appropriate fields set up along with the values for thsoe fields from the given Entity as well as all sub-collections of the given Entity that appear in the collectionRecords map. NOTE: This method is mainly used when coming back from validation. In the case of validation, you cannot re-add a new EntityForm to the model or else you lose the whole BindingResult and errors will not properly be displayed. In that scenario, you must use this method rather than the one that does not take in an entityForm as it will attempt to instantiate a new object.

Parameters:

cmd -

entity -

collectionRecords -

entityForm - rather than instantiate a new EntityForm, this will use this parameter to fill out

Throws:

ServiceException

populateEntityFormFields

void populateEntityFormFields(EntityForm ef,
                            Entity entity)

Parameters:

ef -

entity -

See Also:

#populateEntityFormFields(EntityForm, Entity, boolean, boolean)}

populateEntityFormFields

                            boolean populateId)

Sets values for all fields found on the EntityForm from the specified entity.

Parameters:

ef -

entity -

populateType - whether or not to use the type from the given Entity or keep the current value on the EntityForm

Parameters:

ef -
