Example implementation for the attributesTableComponent
This is an example of how the attributes table could be configured for some object type. However these steps reference to codebase locations only. These steps do not include instructions for source placement or best practices for entering information in xconf files or building of the content or entering in xconf files. This is only to communicate the concepts for getting started.
1. Create a JSP file called attributes.jsp and place it in the following location in your codebase.
codebase/netmarkets/jsp/part/
For now, just add the following content to the page
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/windchill/taglib/components"
prefix="jca"%>
<jca:describeAttributesTable var="attributesTableDescriptor"
mode="VIEW" id="view.setAttribute"
label="Attributes" scope="request">
<jca:describeProperty id="containerName" />
<jca:describeProperty id="name"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="number"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="creatorName" />
<jca:describeProperty id="currentPrincipal" />
<jca:describeProperty id="cabinet"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="cabinetName"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="checkoutInfo.state" />
<jca:describeProperty id="comment"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="displayIdentifier"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="endItem"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="folderName"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="lifeCycleName" />
<jca:describeProperty id="usedBy"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="version"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="view" />
<jca:describeProperty id="viewName"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="owner.id"/>
<jca:describeProperty id="ALL_SOFT_SCHEMA_ATTRIBUTES"/>*
</jca:describeAttributesTable>
Also, Edit action can be launched with below steps. The step to initially display can be set on request with this form.
startStep=<step id>
* “ALL_SOFT_SCHEMA_ATTRIBUTES” display all the global attributes and its value.
2. Register your JSP so the info page servlet will know to forward to it.
Add the following entry into codebase/typedservices.properties:
wt.services/rsc/default/com.ptc.netmarkets.util.misc.FilePathFa
ctory/Attributes/wt.part.WTPart/0=/netmarkets/jsp/part/attribut
es.jsp
3. Test your new jsp. The icons from the Home page or from the Folders page should lead to the new info page servlet. The URL will look something like this:
http://<machine>/<WindchillAppName>/servlet/InfoPage?oid=OR:wt.
part.WTPart:62028
The servlet will look up which JSP to forward to in typedservices.properties. You should see the list of attributes name and its value in Third Level Navigation for attributes table.
