Create a Custom Navigation List Delegate
In general it is not recommended to implement the interface NavigationListDelegate directly. You should subclass one of the existing out of the box implementations like com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.navigation.delegates.DefaultNavigationListDelegate.
Example:
public class MyTabNavigationListDelegate extends DefaultNavigationListDelegate {
/**
* Returns list of all the c.
*/
@Override
public Vector<ObjectVisitedInfo> getRecentStack(String node,
Vector<ObjectVisitedInfo> recent)
throws WTException {
// Specific code for getting all the contexts for that particular tab
return recent;
}
}
There are also other methods that you may wish to override but getRecentStack() is the only one required for this particular use case.
Register MyTabNavigationListDelegate
To register this custom delegate, the property should be added to a specific customized service.properties.xconf file or site.xconf.
In the above example you would register it something like the following:
<Service name="com.ptc.jca.navigation.NavigationListDelegate">
<Option serviceClass="com.ptc.myTab.navigation.MyTabNavigationListDelegate"
requestor="java.lang.Object" selector="MyTab"/>
</Service>
After registering you will need to run xconfmanager -p from a windchill shell and restart the method server.
