Advanced Attribute Panel
This example demonstrates how to create a non-layout-based advanced attribute panel using a Java builder class. It constructs a panel for an object of type “AttributePanelExampleObject,” a fake business object type that has getter methods for all the attributes displayed in the panel.
The builder class has the builder id ComponendId.ATTRIBUTES_ID, which is the id used for the common action “attributes” to display the More Attributes panel on information pages. So that the system will use this builder instead of the AbstractAttributesComponentBuilder (which has the same id) for the panel, it has a TypeBased annotation specifying it is for the AttributePanelExampleObject type.
If you take a look at the getter methods of the AttributePanelExampleObject class, you will notice that some of them return GuiComponents for the attribute value. Although this would not typically be done in a production client, the Windchill Client Architecture framework will handle these values.
