Class IntegrationPoint

java.lang.Object

org.glassfish.admingui.connector.IntegrationPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class IntegrationPoint
extends Object
implements Serializable

An IntegrationPoint represents the data necessary to describe a particular integration point into the admin console. Some examples of integration points include:

• Add a TreeNode to the navigation tree
• Add a HelpContent to the application
• Add initialization logic to execute when a user logins into the application
• Add content to a specific page within the application

The design of this data structure is intentionally very general so that this data structure can be applied to a wide range of situations. It also intentionally does not refer to gui concepts such as "tree" or other UI elements so that these concepts be independent of this data as much as possible. This will allow some flexibility by the consumer of this data to render it in an appropriate way (to some extent). This will however, be limited by the content of the data this structure refers to (if any).

The IntegrationPoint contains the following properties:

• type - (required) A String specifying the integration type.
• parentId - The parent IntegrationPoint's id.
• priority - A priority of this component, often used to compare or sort IntegrationPoints.
• providerId - The ConsoleProvider's id which provided this IntegrationPoint.
• content - A value pointing to additional content to implement this IntegrationPoint
• handlerId - An Handler name which should be invoked to help implement this IntegrationPoint
• id - A value used to identify this specific integration point.

All values in this class are immutable.

Constructor Detail

IntegrationPoint

public IntegrationPoint()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

The identifier of this IntegrationPoint.

getType

public String getType()

This specifies the type of this IntegrationPoint. The type might specify that this integration is a "navigation" integration, "help" integration, "applicationPage" integration, or any other supported integration type.

getParentId

public String getParentId()

The parent identifier. Useful when an IntegrationPoint needs to refer to another integration point (such as when specifying which TreeNode to fall under.

getContent

public String getContent()

A reference to extra information needed to use this IntegrationPoint. An example might be a .jsf page reference which should be included. Or a location used to find HelpSet information.

getPriority

public int getPriority()

This specifies the relative priority of this IntegrationPoint. This may be used for sorting multiple IntegrationPoints, or for other implementation-specific purposes.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides the toString() method.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getConsoleConfigId

public String getConsoleConfigId()

This provides access to the ConsoleConfig which provided this IntegrationPoint.

setConsoleConfigId

public void setConsoleConfigId(String id)

This method should only be called by the ConsolePluginService. This associates this IntegrationPoint with the ConsoleConfig which specified it.
