Method Detail

isUpdateAllowed

public static boolean isUpdateAllowed(CabinetBased entry)
                               throws LockException,
                                      WTException

Deprecated.

Method isUpdateAllowed determines if the given CabinetBased object is available for updating by the current user. Availability for updating is checked based upon the following constraints:

• If the given object is under version control (i.e. implements the Workable interface), then the object must either be the working copy, or must be owned by the current user.

Parameters:

entry - the CabinetBased entry for which the ability to be updated by the current user is checked.

Returns:

if true, the current user is allowed to update the given object

Throws:

LockException

WTException

Parameters:

folder_entry - the CabinetBased object to be deleted

Throws:

WTException

getDisplayName

public static String getDisplayName(String class_name)

Deprecated.

Given a String classname, return a more human-readable representation of that classname. Uses WTIntrospector to get a class info object for the class name, then uses class_info.getDisplayName() to obtain the localized class name.

Deprecated.

Throws:

WTIntrospectionException
