Annotation Type AdminPresentationAdornedTargetCollection

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface AdminPresentationAdornedTargetCollection

Adorned target collections are a variant of the basic collection type (@see AdminPresentationCollection). This type of collection concept comes into play when you want to represent a "ToMany" association, but you also want to capture some additional data around the association. CrossSaleProductImpl is an example of this concept. CrossSaleProductImpl not only contains a product reference, but sequence and promotional message fields as well. We want the admin user to choose the desired product for the association and also specify the order and promotional message information to complete the interaction. The Adorned target concept embodied in this annotation makes this possible.

Element Detail

friendlyName

public abstract String friendlyName

Optional - field name will be used if not specified

The friendly name to present to a user for this field in a GUI. If supporting i18N, the friendly name may be a key to retrieve a localized friendly name using the GWT support for i18N.

Returns:

whether or not this field is read only

Default:

false

parentObjectProperty

public abstract String parentObjectProperty

Optional - only required in the absence of a "mappedBy" property on the JPA annotation

Optional - only required if the primary key property of the parent entity is called something other than "id"

This is the field in the parent entity that represents its primary key
