Creating a Custom Set Context Step JSP Page
If a custom wizard has a Set Context step, the out-of-the-box step jsp listed above will usually suffice. The only time it might be necessary to develop a custom step jsp is if there is a need to capture additional attribute values before the display attributes are presented on the Define Object step.
For example, assume that:
• The wizard launch point has no folder context
• There are not any OIRs that set a default folder location for new objects
• There are defined access control policies denying users create permission for certain object subtypes. These policies are based on the administrative domain associated with the folder in which the new object is located.
In this case, the object container will have no effect on folder selection and you may want the user to select a folder location so the list of types available to him/her can be accurately determined. In this case you may want to put a folder input field on a step prior to the Define Object step. You could either add this input field to the Set Context step or add additional step to the wizard to capture folder location either before or after the Set Context step. (Either way, you will also need your own JSP for the Define Object step so you set the administrative domain parameter on the type picker based on the user’s folder selection in the Set Context step.)
If a custom Set Context jsp is needed and it needs to have a container picker, it is recommended that the out-of-the-box jsp is included in it rather than copying the contents of the out-of-the-box jsp. This will ensure the custom page will continue to behave correctly even if the context picker is modified in a future release.
