getLogger

protected org.apache.commons.logging.Log getLogger()

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Retrieves a logger instance to log to.

Specified by:

getLogger in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Returns:

Log instance to log to.

getTypedItem

protected ActionDefinition getTypedItem(Item item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Returns a typed Object representing the given item.

Subclasses that represent a form type will return a typed object that is then passed to each of it's handlers, the handlers can therefore safely cast the Object to the type they expect.

Specified by:

getTypedItem in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Parameters:

item - The item to get a typed object for

Returns:

The typed object

getItemType

protected String getItemType(ActionDefinition item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Returns a String describing the type fo the specified item.

Specified by:

getItemType in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Returns:

getItemURI

protected String getItemURI(ActionDefinition item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Returns the URI location of the specified item.

Specified by:

getItemURI in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Returns:

internalPersist

protected ActionFormResult internalPersist(ActionDefinition item,
                               FormData data)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Persists the form data.

Specified by:

internalPersist in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Parameters:

item - The object to persist the form for

data - The data to persist

Returns:

The object that got created or modified

Generates a list of default fields to add if no field names are specified.

Overrides:

generateDefaultFields in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Parameters:

data - Used for field creation.

Returns:

a List of Fields which may be empty.

generateSelectedFields

protected List<Field> generateSelectedFields(List<String> requestedFields,
                                 FormCreationData data)

Overrides:

generateSelectedFields in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

getDefaultIgnoredFields

protected List<String> getDefaultIgnoredFields()

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

When a Form is generated with no field names specifically set then a default Form is created. The default Form contains all the properties and associations related to the Item, excluding a blacklist of ignored fields which defaults to the return value of this method. The default ignored values can be overridden by setting the property ignoredFields.

Specified by:

getDefaultIgnoredFields in class FilteredFormProcessor<ActionDefinition,ActionFormResult>

Returns:

the names of all the fields to be excluded from the default Form if no defaultFields property is explicitly set.

makeItemData

protected Object makeItemData(ActionDefinition item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor
