Class Overview

This class is the abstract realization of the FrameElement. Implements most of the methods except the isEnabled(), which needs to be implemented by every concrete class.
Notice that in general the FrameElement doesn't implement Persistable, although this class does since most of the FrameElements requires it. Also notice that this class DOES NOT implement the FrameElement interface. This is on purpose. The reason being this class is extended by concrete classes that doesn't necessary extend the FrameElement (in particular, this class is extended by the AbstractEditorBean). The FrameElement will be deprecated in favor of the EditorBean interface. In this scenario all classes will inherit the methods (even if they don't use it), true, but if their interface doesn't extend the FrameElement, the methods will not be publicly available so no harm is done.

public AbstractPersistableFrameElement ()

Public Methods

public void doCollectData ()

Extends collectData by setting the Persistable mode to Default (do not persist) if the bean is a FrameElement and it's not editable.

public DocumentFrameBean getDocumentFrameBean ()

Returns the DocumentFrameBean associated with this report frame element.

Returns

the document frame bean associated with this report frame element.

public WebFeatures getFeaturesManager ()

Overrides getFeaturesManager by providing a new Features implementation for FrameElements.

Returns

a FrameElementsFeatures if the concrete bean implements FrameElement, otherwise the default FeaturesManager.

public FrameBean getFrameBean ()

Utility method for returning the FrameBean associated with this instance

Returns

FrameBean instance that could correspond to a ReportFrameBean, DocumentFrameBean or RWFrameBean.

public RWFrameBean getRWFrameBean ()

Returns the RWFrameBean associated with this report frame element.

Returns

the RW Frame bean associated with this report frame element.

public ReportFrameBean getReportFrameBean ()

Returns the ReportFrameBean associated with this report frame element.

Returns

the report frame bean associated with this report frame element.

public boolean getUseIFrame ()

Indicates whether a ReportFrameElement uses IFrames in its output

Returns

true if it uses IFrames

public boolean isEditor ()

Indicates whether a ReportFrameElement most be considered editor. Editors are treated specially by the ReportFrame: only one editor can be shown at any time.

Returns

false, editors needs to override this method.

public boolean isGridDataNecessary ()

This method indicates the report frame that the element requires the grid for information. Editors that requires to grid data for their input should override this method, since by default it returns false. This method is implemented for the ReportFrameElement interface.

Returns

false.

public boolean isIFrameEnabled ()

Returns

True if IFrame is enabled for this instance.

public boolean isOpen ()

Overrides isOpen by making sure FrameElements use the FrameBean to control their open-close status. If the bean is a FrameElement and has a FrameBean as a parent, then it will ask the FrameBean if it's open, otherwise it would use the default isOpen implementation.

Returns

boolean true if open

public void setIsOpen (boolean value)

Overrides setIsOpen by making sure FrameElements use the FrameBean to control their open-close status. If the bean is a FrameElement and has a FrameBean as a parent, then it will ask the FrameBean to open or close it accordingly, otherwise it would use the default setIsOpen implementation.

Parameters

value	`boolean` value indicating if the instance should be defined as opened (`True`) or closed (`False`).

public void setUseIFrame (boolean value)

Sets whether a ReportFrameElement should use IFrames in its output

Parameters

value	true if IFrrames are enabled
