Interface UserServiceRecordFormFactory

public interface UserServiceRecordFormFactory

This interface defines a factory to create a UserService replacing the default model-driven record form. Regarding UIForm, it allows implementing more advanced user interfaces, for instance navigating between multiple pages, or accessing and manipulating multiple records and dynamic objects.

In the context of an association, the user service can be further refined by implementing UserServiceAssociationRecordFormFactory.

Definition in the data model

The factory must be declared under the element <osd:table>. For example:

 <xs:annotation>
   <xs:appinfo>
     <osd:table>
       <primaryKeys>/id</primaryKeys>
       <recordForm osd:class="com.foo.MyFactory"/>
     </osd:table>
   </xs:appinfo>
 </xs:annotation>
 

where com.foo.MyFactory is the fully qualified name of a class implementing this interface. The declaration may also use parameters:

 <recordForm class="com.foo.MyFactory">
        <param1>...</param1>
        <param2>...</param2>
 </recordForm>
 

where param1 and param2 are JavaBean properties of the com.foo.MyFactory class.

For more information, see the JavaBean specification.

Life cycle

1. If the concrete factory is referenced by a data model element, then, when the data model is loaded:
   1. the specified factory class is instantiated through its default constructor and the setters of the JavaBean properties are called (in the example above, setParam1(...) and setParam2(...));
   2. then, the method setup(UserServiceRecordFormFactoryContext) is called for the new instance).
2. During the operational phase: the method:
   • newUserServiceForCreate(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForCreate) is called each time a record view must be displayed for creating a record.
   • newUserServiceForDefault(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForDefault) is called each time a record view must be displayed for modifying a record.
   • newUserServiceForDuplicate(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForDuplicate) is called each time a record view must be displayed for duplicating a record.

Method Detail

newUserServiceForCreate

UserService<TableViewEntitySelection> newUserServiceForCreate(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForCreate aContext)

Creates and returns a new instance of UserService for creating a record.

If this method returns null, then the default model-driven form will be used for creating a record.

See Also:

ServiceKey.CREATE

newUserServiceForDefault

UserService<RecordEntitySelection> newUserServiceForDefault(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForDefault aSelection)

Creates and returns a new instance of UserService for displaying a record on consultation or on modification.

If this method returns null then the default model-driven form will be used for displaying a record on consultation or on modification.

See Also:

ServiceKey.DEFAULT_SERVICE

newUserServiceForDuplicate

UserService<RecordEntitySelection> newUserServiceForDuplicate(UserServiceRecordFormContext.ForDuplicate aSelection)

Creates and returns a new instance of UserService for duplicating a record.

If this method returns null then the default model-driven form will be used for duplicating a record.

ServiceKey.DUPLICATE

setup

void setup(UserServiceRecordFormFactoryContext aContext)

This method is called when the data model is loaded. It may be used to check that this factory supports the table that references it.
