public class ERMDAjaxNotificationCenter
extends ERDCustomComponent

ERMDAjaxNotificationCenter makes it easy to observe properties for changes and update dependent property keys. You just specify a dependency structure via the propertyDependencies D2W key. It takes a dictionary with property keys to be observed as keys and an array of the dependents to be updated as the value. Example:

 100 : ((task = 'create' or task = 'edit') and entity.name = 'Person') => propertyDependencies = {"isFemale" = ("salutation"); "dateOfBirth" = ("discount", "parentEmail"); } [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
 

This will observe the property keys "isFemale" and "dateOfBirth". If "isFemale" changes, the "salutation" property will be updated. If "dateOfBirth" changes, the "discount" and "parentEmail" properties will be updated. You can then hide and show properties on the fly by using the displayVariant key:

 100 : ((task = 'create' or task = 'edit') and entity.name = 'Person' and propertyKey = 'parentEmail' and object.isAdult = '1') => displayVariant = "omit" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
 

By default, ERMDAjaxNotificationCenter will be included in the aboveDisplayPropertyKeys repetition when propertyDependencies is not null. If you set aboveDisplayPropertyKeys yourself, you have to include the "ajaxNotificationCenter" property key. Unlike the original version by Ramsey, this implementation depends on ERMDInspectPageRepetition to insert AjaxObserveField and AjaxUpdateContainer components where required.

Method Detail

id

public String id()

setD2wContext

public void setD2wContext(com.webobjects.directtoweb.D2WContext context)

Description copied from class: ERDCustomComponent

Sets the D2WContext. Applies when used inside a property key repetition.

Overrides:

setD2wContext in class ERDCustomComponent

updateContainerIDs

public NSMutableArray<String> updateContainerIDs()

propertyChanged

public void propertyChanged(com.webobjects.foundation.NSNotification n)

propertyDependencies

public NSDictionary<String,NSArray<String>> propertyDependencies(com.webobjects.directtoweb.D2WContext context)

propertyChanged

public NSArray<String> propertyChanged(com.webobjects.directtoweb.D2WContext context)

Parameters:

context - The d2wContext of the changed property level component

Returns:

a list of property keys to be updated

handleQueryWithUnboundKey

public Object handleQueryWithUnboundKey(String key)

Since this component uses synchronization to update observers when the d2wContext changes, it cannot be non-synchronizing. However, if we want to be able to drop this component anywhere, it needs to be able to accept any binding value. So this method simply returns value for key from the dynamicBindings dictionary.

Specified by:

handleQueryWithUnboundKey in interface com.webobjects.foundation.NSKeyValueCoding.ErrorHandling

Overrides:

handleQueryWithUnboundKey in class com.webobjects.appserver.WOComponent

handleTakeValueForUnboundKey

public void handleTakeValueForUnboundKey(Object value,
                                         String key)

Since this component uses synchronization to update observers when the d2wContext changes, it cannot be non-synchronizing. However, if we want to be able to drop this component anywhere, it needs to be able to accept any binding value. So this method simply adds value for key to the dynamicBindings dictionary.

Specified by:

handleTakeValueForUnboundKey in interface com.webobjects.foundation.NSKeyValueCoding.ErrorHandling

Overrides:

handleTakeValueForUnboundKey in class com.webobjects.appserver.WOComponent
