Method Detail

getValueType

protected abstract java.lang.Class<? extends Value> getValueType()

Return the type created by createValue(org.mapfish.print.config.Template).

getDefaultValue

public final PObject getDefaultValue()

The YAML config default values.

Returns:

the default values

setDefault

public final void setDefault(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> defaultValue)

Default values for this attribute. Example:

 attributes:
   legend: !legend
     default:
       name: "Legend"

Parameters:

defaultValue - The default values.

setConfigName

public final void setConfigName(java.lang.String configName)

Description copied from interface: Attribute

Set the name of the attribute as set in the configuration file.

Specified by:

setConfigName in interface Attribute

Parameters:

configName - the name of the attribute

getAttributeName

protected final java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Return a descriptive name of this attribute.

createValue

public abstract Value createValue(Template template)

Create an instance of a attribute value object. Each instance must be new and unique. Instances must NOT be shared.

The object will be populated from the json. Each public field will be populated by looking up the value in the json.

If a field in the object has the HasDefaultValue annotation then no exception will be thrown if the json does not contain a value.

Fields in the object with the OneOf annotation must have one of the fields in the request data.

• String
• Integer
• Float
• Double
• Short
• Boolean
• Character
• Byte
• Enum
• PJsonObject
• URL
• Any enum
• PJsonArray
• any type with a 0 argument constructor
• array of any of the above (String[], boolean[], PJsonObject[], ...)

If there is a public () method then it will be called after the fields are all set.

In the case where the a parameter type is a normal POJO (not a special case like PJsonObject, URL, enum, double, etc...) then it will be assumed that the json data is a json object and the parameters will be recursively parsed into the new object as if it is also MapLayer parameter object.

It is important to put values in the value object as public fields because reflection is used when printing client config as well as generating documentation. If a field is intended for the client software as information but is not intended to be set (or sent as part of the request data), the field can be a final field.

Parameters:

template - the template that this attribute is part of.

printClientConfig

public final void printClientConfig(org.json.JSONWriter json,
                     Template template)
                             throws org.json.JSONException

Uses reflection on the object created by createValue(org.mapfish.print.config.Template) to create the options.

The public final fields are written as the field name as the key and the value as the value.

The public (non-final) mandatory fields are written as part of clientParams and are written with the field name as the key and the field type as the value.

The public (non-final) HasDefaultValue fields are written as part of clientOptions and are written with the field name as the key and an object as a value with a type property with the type and a default property containing the default value.

Specified by:

printClientConfig in interface Attribute

Parameters:

json - the json writer to write to

template - the template that this attribute is part of

Throws:

org.json.JSONException

getClientInfo

protected com.google.common.base.Optional<org.json.JSONObject> getClientInfo()
                                                                      throws org.json.JSONException

Return an object that will be added to the client config with the key clientInfo. CSOFF: DesignForExtension

Throws:

org.json.JSONException
