TypeFormProcessor

public TypeFormProcessor()

Method Detail

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<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

Returns:

Log instance to log to.

getTypedItem

protected TypeDefinition 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<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

Parameters:

item - The item to get a typed object for

Returns:

The typed object

internalPersist

protected NodeRef internalPersist(TypeDefinition item,
                                  FormData data)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Persists the form data.

Specified by:

internalPersist in class FilteredFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

Parameters:

item - The object to persist the form for

data - The data to persist

Returns:

The object that got created or modified

createNode

protected NodeRef createNode(TypeDefinition typeDef,
                             FormData data)

Creates a new instance of the given type.

If the form data has the name property present it is used as the name of the node.

The new node is placed in the location defined by the "destination" data item in the form data (this will usually be a hidden field), this will also be the NodeRef representation of the parent for the new node.

Parameters:

typeDef - The type defintion of the type to create

data - The form data

Returns:

NodeRef representing the newly created node

getItemType

protected String getItemType(TypeDefinition item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Returns a String describing the type fo the specified item.

Specified by:

getItemType in class FilteredFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

Parameters:

item - ItemType

Returns:

String

getItemURI

protected String getItemURI(TypeDefinition item)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Returns the URI location of the specified item.

Specified by:

getItemURI in class FilteredFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

Parameters:

item - ItemType

Returns:

String

getBaseType

protected TypeDefinition getBaseType(TypeDefinition type)

Specified by:

getBaseType in class ContentModelFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

getAssociationValues

protected Map<QName,Serializable> getAssociationValues(TypeDefinition item)

Specified by:

getAssociationValues in class ContentModelFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

getPropertyValues

protected Map<QName,Serializable> getPropertyValues(TypeDefinition item)

Specified by:

getPropertyValues in class ContentModelFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>

getTransientValues

protected Map<String,Object> getTransientValues(TypeDefinition item)

Specified by:

getTransientValues in class ContentModelFormProcessor<TypeDefinition,NodeRef>
