Method Detail

exportObject

public void exportObject(Object object,
                         Exporter exporter)
                  throws WTException

Exports the specified object in context given by parameter exporter.
The implementation of this method is partitioned into several protected methods. Individual class handlers can override the following protected methods:

• createFileXMLOnExport(Exporter exporter), which create an IxbDocument with the root tag. See getRootTag();
• exportAttributes (Object object, IxbElement fileXML, Exporter exporter) which will export the attributes according to the DTD. The parameter fileXML is the returned vlue from createFileXMLOnExport(Exporter exporter).
• storeElement(Object object, IxbElement fileXML, Exporter exporter) which will store the fileXML into an xml-file.

Also, export actions from either client or system registry will be performed. Specifically, the two methods wt.ixb.tuner.ExportActionHelper.performPreExportAction () and wt.ixb.tuner.ExportActionHelper.performPostExportAction () will be called before and after th above three protected methods, respectively.

Parameters:

object -

fileXML -

exporter -

Throws:

WTException

getRootTag

protected String getRootTag()

Returns the desired root tag for the object type to be exported, e.g. "WTDocument". Individual class handlers are expected to implement this method, otherwise the importer might be confused to choosed the exact class handler during import.

Supported API: true

Returns:

String

importElement

public Object importElement(IxbElement fileXML,
                            Importer importer)
                     throws WTException

Imports XML element in context given by importer parameter. Returns the imported object, which might be newly created or already existed in the datastore.

Supported API: true

Specified by:

importElement in interface ElementImporter

Specified by:

importElement in class ClassExporterImporterTemplateGeneral

Parameters:

fileXML -

importer - The Importer instance that represents the context of the import operation.

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

findAmongExistingObjects

public Object findAmongExistingObjects(IxbElement fileXML,
                                       Importer importer)
                                throws WTException

Implements typical way of finding whether object from given XML file exists already in Windchill database.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

fileXML -

importer -

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

createObject

public abstract Object createObject(IxbElement fileXML,
                                    Importer importer)
                             throws WTException

Creates new instance of Windchill object. Every class requires its own method to create object of this class. So, this method must be overriden by any class specific import handler

Supported API: true

Parameters:

fileXML -

importer -

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

importObjectAttributes

public Object importObjectAttributes(Object object,
                                     IxbElement fileXML,
                                     Importer importer)
                              throws WTException

Imports class specific atributes from the XML file. This method should be implemented for most of the class handlers. If the object class inherits from another replicated class (for example, inherits from WTPart) then it generally should give a new implementation for this method; in this implementation it should at first call importObjectAttributes of its ansector

Supported API: true

Parameters:

object -

fileXML -

importer -

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

storeObject

public Object storeObject(Object object,
                          IxbElement fileXML,
                          Importer importer)
                   throws WTException

That is the general template how to store object. It looks like it will be good for many classes. If for some class it is not good then it can be override this method

Supported API: true

Parameters:

object -

fileXML -

importer -

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

importObjectAttributesAfterStore

public Object importObjectAttributesAfterStore(Object object,
                                               IxbElement fileXML,
                                               Importer importer)
                                        throws WTException

Imports class specific atributes from the XML element after object gets stored
This method should be implemented for most of the classes This method is required because some of attributes (IBA, Content) can not be added to the object before it gets stored. So, we can not set this attribute in importObjectAttributes method because it is called before store object.
If class inherits from another replicated class (for example, inherits from WTPart) then for this class generally a new implementation of this method should be given; in this implementation it should at first call importObjectAttributesAfterStore() of its ansector

Supported API: true

Parameters:

object -

fileXML -

importer -

Returns:

Object

Throws:

WTException

                                   Exporter exporter)
                            throws WTException

By default will do whatever processing is specified in Application handler. Handlers which need to do something different (or nothing at all) should override this method. *
