          wt.clients.workflow.definer.WfSynchRobotTemplateEditor

public class WfSynchRobotTemplateEditor

extends WfTemplateObjectEditor

Editor for the WfSynchronization robot. An editor needs to be created so the Process Editor knows about WfSynchTemplates. You must specify a wt.workflow.definer.editor.x= in the wt.properties file for the Process Editor to add it to the tools.

Constructor Detail

WfSynchRobotTemplateEditor

public WfSynchRobotTemplateEditor()

Method Detail

getWfTemplateClass

public static Class getWfTemplateClass()

Returns:

The Class this editor support. Returns WfSynchRobotTemplate.class. This method must be implemented so the Process Editor know what Editor to create for the WfSynchRobotTemplate class.

getSubtypes

public static Vector getSubtypes()

Returns:

A Vector of subtypes this editor supports. The elements of the Vector or just strings. This method must be implemented so the Process Editor knows what subtypes this editor supports. A tool will be created for each subtype. An example might be a method robot which has several subtypes corresponding to different methods.

getSubtypeName

public static String getSubtypeName(String subtype)

Parameters:

subtype - The subtype to get the name for.

Returns:

A displayable name for the specified subtype. This will be the default name for the node once it is placed in a workflow.

getSubtypeIconName

public static String getSubtypeIconName(String subtype)

Parameters:

subtype - The subtype to get the icon for.

Returns:

A path to the icon for the subtype from the current codebase. The Process Editor will load the icon specified and use it for the tools palette and the nodes in the workflow.

getSubtypeCategory

public static String getSubtypeCategory(String subtype)

getSubtypeHelp

public static String getSubtypeHelp(String subtype)

Parameters:

subtype - The subtype to return the help for.

Returns:

Help for the specified subtype. The help returned will be displayed as tooltips in the tools palette of the Process Editor. When the mouse floats over the tools palette button for this Editor, a tooltip will be displayed containing the help.

getComponent

public Component getComponent()

Overrides:

getComponent in class WfNodeTemplateEditor

Returns:

A component which is a subclass of WfNodeTemplatePanel for editing the properties of the template. The component returned will be displayed in a Dialog with OK and Cancel buttons. When the dialog is displayed, the initialize() method of the component will be called allowing you to initialize any fields in the UI. When the OK button is pressed, the save() method of the component is called allowing you to save any fields in the UI to the template itself. When the Cancel button is called, the cancel() method of the component is called allowing you to cancel any changes that may have been done to the template itself.

newWfTemplate

public WfNodeTemplate newWfTemplate()

Creates a new WfSynchRobotTemplate. This method must be implemented so the Process Editor can create the correct template for this editor. You should set the name of the WfSynchRobotTemplate and set the subtype of the Editor in this method. After the new template is created setWfTemplate(template) should be called to set the WfTemplate of the Editor. Finally, you should call super to add the template to the batch container so it will get saved.

Overrides:

newWfTemplate in class WfTemplateObjectEditor

Returns:

The new WfSynchRobotTemplate which was created.

populateWfTemplate

public void populateWfTemplate(WfNodeTemplate template)

Populates this editor with the specified template. This method must be implemented so an Editor is created when a process template is updated. When a process template is updated, the Process Editor queries for all of the node templates in the process template. The Process Editor then needs to create Editors for the templates to display them. It creates them by first asking each Editor if it supports the node template class using the getWfTemplateClass method. If it finds an Editor which supports the node template class it creates a new Editor for it an calls populateWfTemplate to set the node template of the Editor. Make sure to call the super so the icon and name for the Editor get created. Calling super will also populate the batch container with the template so it can be saved if it is changed.

Overrides:

populateWfTemplate in class WfTemplateObjectEditor

Parameters:

template - The node template for this Editor.

pasteCopyMap

public void pasteCopyMap(Hashtable copy_map,
                         WfContainerTemplateEditor container)
                  throws WTException

This method must be implemented to set the subtype of a Editor when a node template is pasted into a workflow. Make sure to call the super so the node is actually pasted into the workflow. You only need to set the subtype of the Editor. If you need to get the template which is to be pasted, the copy_map Hastable can be used. The template is stored under the String key "template" in copy_map.

Overrides:

pasteCopyMap in class WfTemplateObjectEditor

Parameters:

copy_map - A Hashtable which contains information required to perform the paste. It is used a storage for the copy or cut action. You can get the template which is to be pasted by using the String key "template".

container - The container the template is to be pasted into.

Throws:

WTException

getCopyMap

public Hashtable getCopyMap(DefinerGraphNode graph_node)
                     throws WTException

Overrides:

getCopyMap in class WfTemplateObjectEditor

Throws:

WTException

saveWfTemplate

public void saveWfTemplate()
                    throws WTException

Saves the WfNodeTemplate this Editor references.

Overrides:

saveWfTemplate in class WfTemplateObjectEditor

Throws:

WTException

setSynchExpression

public void setSynchExpression(WfExpression synch_expression)

getSynchExpression

public WfExpression getSynchExpression(boolean create_new)
                                throws WTException

Throws:

WTException

setInitSynchExpression

public void setInitSynchExpression(WfExpression synch_expression)

getInitSynchExpression

public WfExpression getInitSynchExpression(boolean create_new)
                                    throws WTException

Throws:

WTException

getInitSynchExpression

public WfExpression getInitSynchExpression(WfRobotActivityTemplate template)
                                    throws WTException

Throws:

WTException

getId

private ObjectIdentifier getId(Object object)

Helper method that extracts object identifier.
