Package com.microstrategy.web.preferences

Class PreferenceDefinitionImpl

java.lang.Object

com.microstrategy.web.preferences.PreferenceDefinitionBase

com.microstrategy.web.preferences.PreferenceDefinitionImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

PreferenceDefinition

Direct Known Subclasses:

public class PreferenceDefinitionImpl
extends PreferenceDefinitionBase

This class encapsulates the definition of a preference. Most definitions will simply use this implementation as the default. Custom definitions may extend the PreferenceDefinitionBase directly, or make use of predefined overrides offered by this class. Subclasses that override PreferenceDefinitionBase.setAttributes(Attributes, PreferenceLevels), and PreferenceDefinitionBase.buildXmlAttributes(XMLBuilder) should make the appropriate super call back to this class to handle the base attributes.

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 7.3.1 or earlier

Constructor Detail

PreferenceDefinitionImpl

protected PreferenceDefinitionImpl(java.lang.String name,
                                   PreferenceLevels lvls)
                            throws MSTRUncheckedException

Throws:

MSTRUncheckedException

PreferenceDefinitionImpl

protected PreferenceDefinitionImpl()

Constructor for creating PreferenceDefinition objects from XML parsing.

Method Detail

validate

protected void validate(java.lang.String value,
                        Preferences pref,
                        java.lang.Object validationObject)
                 throws PreferencesException

Deprecated.

replaced by validateTransmute(String, Preferences, Object)

This method is triggered by callback when setting preference values. By default, this method doesn't do anything.

Specified by:

validate in class PreferenceDefinitionBase

Throws:

PreferencesException

validateAllowableValues

protected void validateAllowableValues(java.lang.String value,
                                       Preferences pref,
                                       java.lang.Object validationObject)
                                throws PreferencesException

Throws:

PreferencesException

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 9.0.0

validateTransmute

protected java.lang.String validateTransmute(java.lang.String value,
                                             Preferences pref,
                                             java.lang.Object validationObject)
                                      throws PreferencesException

This method is triggered by callback when setting preference values. By default, this method doesn't do anything. The returned value will be used to set the preference value - this facilitates preprocessing such as trimming strings, or date time reformating.

Returns:

transmuted preference value

Throws:

PreferencesException

Since:

MicroStrategy Web 8.0.0

setAttributes

protected void setAttributes(org.xml.sax.Attributes attrs,
                             PreferenceLevels group)

Populates the object with attributes from parsing the definition XML. The attributes populated by PreferenceDefinitionImpl are as follows: name, value, description, type, scope, and the preference levels grouping. This method will call the setAttributes method with the update as false

Specified by:

setAttributes in class PreferenceDefinitionBase

Parameters:

attrs - properties of the definition in XML form.

group - used to check the scope of the definition.

Throws:

PreferencesException - if errors occur during the population.
