Configuring a Type Picker
You want to create a Type Picker either for the display or for the assignment of type-able items.
Background
Type Picker Common Component is to be used either for display or for assignment of type-able items. For example in a search application to select the type of objects that you are interested to do a search on or in a create application to create an item of a specific type. It can be used to display the type in case of edit or view applications. The component can be used in the context/mode of CREATE, EDIT, SEARCH or VIEW.
Scope/Applicability/Assumptions
• If the Type Picker behavior is to be driven by site/organization preferences viz. display (list or tree), default type, filter criteria etc, its assumed that you will extract the relevant information and pass them to the component.
• The component will apply access control policies except for SEARCH mode.
• It is assumed that your <MyPage>.jsp file in which you are implementing this common component includes “/netmarkets/jsp/begin.jspf” or “/netmarkets/jsp/beginPopuf.jspf” file and “/netmarkets/jsp/end.jspf” files.
Intended Outcome
Depending upon the format, you will get either a dropdown or table or a tree:
• Type Picker in DropDown Format
• Type Picker in Table Format
• Type Picker in Tree Format
