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:

the friendly name

Default:

""

securityLevel

public abstract String securityLevel

Optional - only required if you wish to apply security to this field

If a security level is specified, it is registered with the SecurityManager. The SecurityManager checks the permission of the current user to determine if this field should be disabled based on the specified level.

Returns:

the security level

Default:

""

Returns:

whether or not this field is read only

Default:

false

order

99999

targetUIElementId

public abstract String targetUIElementId

Optional - only required if you want the resulting collection grid element to appear somewhere other than below the main detail form

Specify a UI element Id to which the collection grid should be added. This is useful if, for example, you want the resulting collection grid to appear in another tab, or some other location in the admin tool UI.

Returns:

UI element Id to which the collection grid should be added

Default:

""

dataSourceName

public abstract String dataSourceName

Optional - unique name for the backing datasource. If unspecified, the datasource name will be the JPA entity field name with "AdvancedCollectionDS" appended to the end.

The datasource can be retrieved programatically in admin code via PresenterSequenceSetupManager.getDataSource(..)

Returns:

unique name for the backing datasource

Default:

""

keyClass

public abstract Class<?> keyClass

Optional - only required if the type for the key of this map is other than java.lang.String, or if the map is not a generic type from which the key type can be derived

The type for the key of this map

Returns:

The type for the key of this map

Default:

void.class

keyPropertyFriendlyName

public abstract String keyPropertyFriendlyName

Optional - only required if the key field title for this map should be translated to another lang, or should be something other than the constant "Key"

The friendly name to present to a user for this key field title 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:

the friendly name

Default:

"Key"

valueClass

public abstract Class<?> valueClass

Optional - only required if the type for the value of this map is other than java.lang.String, or if the map is not a generic type from which the value type can be derived, or if there is not a @ManyToMany annotation used from which a targetEntity can be inferred.

The type for the value of this map

Returns:

The type for the value of this map

Default:

void.class

public abstract boolean deleteEntityUponRemove

Optional - only required if the value class is a JPA managed type and the persisted entity should be deleted upon removal from this map

Whether or not a complex (JPA managed) value should be deleted upon removal from this map

Returns:

Whether or not a complex value is deleted upon map removal

Default:

false

valuePropertyFriendlyName

public abstract String valuePropertyFriendlyName

Optional - only required if the value property for this map is simple (Not JPA managed - e.g. java.lang.String) and if the value field title for this map should be translated to another lang, or should be something other than the constant "Value"

The friendly name to present to a user for this value field title 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:

the friendly name

"Value"

isSimpleValue

public abstract UnspecifiedBooleanType isSimpleValue

Optional - only required if the value type cannot be derived from the map declaration in the JPA managed entity and the value type is complex (JPA managed entity)

the value field in the entity class

Default:

""

customCriteria
