Class ListTableContentProvider

java.lang.Object

com.webmethods.caf.faces.bean.PageFlowScopeAdapter

com.webmethods.caf.faces.data.object.ListTableContentProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

IPageFlowScopeAdapter, IAddressableTableContentProvider, IContentProvider, IReorderableTableContentProvider, ISortableTableContentProvider, ITableContentProvider, IUpdateableContentProvider, IUpdateableTableContentProvider, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClusterPartitionsTableContentProvider, ClusterServersTableContentProvider, FilterableListTableContentProvider, SelectableListTableContentProvider, TaskAuditContentProvider

public class ListTableContentProvider
extends PageFlowScopeAdapter
implements Serializable, IUpdateableTableContentProvider, ISortableTableContentProvider, IReorderableTableContentProvider

Adapts List and array objects to the IUpdateableContentProvider and ISortableTableContentProvider enabling their use with table and tree table UI controls. The properties of the element of the list or array are available as properties on this provider. For example:

 class Item {
                public int getId();
                public String getName(); 
 };
 
 Item[] items = new Items[] {....};
 IUpdateableContentProvider provider = new ListTableContentProvider(items);
 
 for (int i = 0; i < provider.getRowCount(); i++) {
                provider.setRowIndex(i);
                if (provider.isRowAvailable()) {
                        Integer itemId = (Integer)provider.getValue("id"); // returns item id
                        String itemName = (String)provider.getValue("name"); // returns item name
 
                        provider.setValue("name", "item name" + i); // updates item name
                }
 };
 

setList(List) or setArray(Object[]) property must be set before use.

setRowIdExpression(ValueExpression) must be set to use this implementation as an IAddressableTableContentProvider. Even so, this implementation is not optimized for addressing rows by id; SelectableListTableContentProvider is better optimized for this purpose.
