Method Detail

getWebNameFor

public String getWebNameFor(String aLocalId)

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the entity specified in the context of the current component in the current page.

getWebNameForPath

public String getWebNameForPath(Path aPath)

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the entity specified in the context of the current component in the current page.

Parameters:

aPath - location of the target relatively to the current node (for maximizing reusability, it is advised to use a relative path)

getWebNameOfParent

public String getWebNameOfParent()

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the entity specified in the context of the current component in the current page.

getWebName

public String getWebName()

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the current component in the current page.

getLocale

public Locale getLocale()

Returns the current locale of the user session.

getSession

public Session getSession()

Returns the current session.

getValue

public Object getValue()

Returns the current value of the current node.

getValue

public Object getValue(Path aPath)

Returns the value at the path specified.

Parameters:

aPath - location of the target relatively to the current node (for maximizing reusability, it is advised to use a relative path)

getNode

public SchemaNode getNode()

Returns the node to which the component is attached, as specified in the XML Schema document.

See Also:

ValueContext.getNode()

getPathInAdaptation

public Path getPathInAdaptation()

Returns the path of the current node to which the component is attached.

The result of this method is more precise than getNode().getPathInAdaptation() because it is able to specify indexes (position predicates in XPath).

Step.isIndexed(), getNode()

getNode

public SchemaNode getNode(Path aPath)

Returns the node located at the path specified.

SchemaNode.getNode(Path)
