Class PromptIfEnabledSetupInstruction

java.lang.Object

org.rhq.enterprise.communications.util.prefs.SetupInstruction

org.rhq.enterprise.communications.util.prefs.DefaultSetupInstruction

org.rhq.enterprise.communications.util.prefs.PromptIfEnabledSetupInstruction

public class PromptIfEnabledSetupInstruction
extends DefaultSetupInstruction

This setup instruction will perform preprocessing to determine if the user should be prompted for the preference value or not. If a given boolean preference (called the "enablement preference") is true, then this instruction will leave the prompt message as-is thus prompting the user for a new value. If that enablement preference is false, then the prompt message will be set to null forcing this instruction's new preference value to be the default value.

Use this when there are a set of preferences that are configuration settings for a particular feature that can be enabled or disabled. If that feature is disabled (via the enablement preference), then the user should not be asked to configure that feature any further. If that feature is enabled, then it makes sense to ask the user to configure the rest of that feature's settings.

This class derives from DefaultSetupInstruction so it will default to the existing preference value if one exists; otherwise, the original SetupInstruction.getDefaultValue() is used.

                                throws IllegalArgumentException

The enablement_preference is the name of the boolean preference that will determine if this instruction will or will not prompt the user. The enablement_preference_default is the default value of the enablement preference if it is not defined (that is, if it is not set in the set of preferences given to this instruction via SetupInstruction.setPreferences(java.util.prefs.Preferences)).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException
