getLogger

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

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Retrieves a logger instance to log to.

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>

Parameters:

item - ItemType

Returns:

String

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>

Parameters:

item - ItemType

Returns:

String

internalPersist

protected ActionFormResult internalPersist(ActionDefinition item,
                                           FormData data)

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor

Persists the form data.

protected List<String> getDefaultIgnoredFields()

Description copied from class: FilteredFormProcessor
