Simple Attribute Panel using a Java Builder
This example, which uses the
SimpleAttributesPanelBuilder, is similar to the
Advanced Attribute Panel example except it configures the panel as a simple list of
name:value pairs.
The builder makes this a simple attribute panel by doing the following three things:
1. It creates only one GroupConfig. In this example, the GroupConfig is created implicitly by the AttributePanelConfig the first time an AttributeConfig is added to it.
2. It does not specify rowPos, colPos, or colSpan properties on the AttributeConfigs.
3. It explicitly sets the view for the panel config to "/components/simpleAttributePanel.jsp.”
The buildComponentData() method of the builder for this panel illustrates how you can you something other than a Persistable object as the panel datum object. Although panel objects will typically be
Windchill business objects, that does not have to be the case. Any object from which it is possible to access the attribute values via a bean-style getter method or a Map-style get() method can be used. In this case, the row data is a
HashMap. See
Windchill Client Architecture Common Objects Overview for more information.
