Interface WebEvent.Argument

  • Enclosing interface:
    WebEvent
    public static interface WebEvent.Argument
    The Argument interface represents a WebEvent argument. An event argument informs an event handler what has been changed after an event occurs and thus instructs the event handler what appropriate actions to do.

    Within an event, an event argument has a unique identifier which is the key bridging the RequestKeys object and the WebEventHandler object. An event handler uses this argument id to obtain the agument name and the argument value from the RequestKeys object.

    If an argument is required, it must be present in the RequestKeys.

    MicroStrategy Web 7.3.1 or earlier

    • Method Detail

      • getID

        int getID()
        Returns the ID of this argument. This ID is unique within the event to which this argument belongs.
        Returns:
        the unique ID of this argument.

      • getName

        java.lang.String getName()
        Returns the name of this argument.
        Returns:
        the name of this argument.

      • isRequired

        boolean isRequired()
        Returns true if this argument is a required argument for an event. A required argument is the one that an event handler will be expecting to receive from an event.
        Returns:
        true if this argument is required.

      • getRequired

        int getRequired()
        Returns the required group number: 0 = not required, 1 = required, 2+ = required (group number). If the value returned is 2 or greater, it belongs to a group of arguments, where at least one of the arguments must be specified.
        Returns:
        the required group number.

        MicroStrategy Web 8.0.0

      • getValue

        java.lang.String getValue()
        Returns the value of this argument. An argument could possibly have an initial value in the event definition, and the caller has perfect reason to change the value at the run time.
        Returns:
        the value of this argument.

      • getIndex

        int getIndex()
        Returns the index of this argument. An index can assist an application to put two arguments with the same name and id, but with different index, within the same Web page.
        Returns:
        the index of this argument.

      • getType

        java.lang.String getType()
        Returns the type of this argument.
        Returns:
        the type of this argument.

      • getValidator

        java.lang.String getValidator()
