Re: changed objects
okay, let me tell you what I want to accomplish.
I have a table of 100 rows. I want the user to select an arbitrary group of
rows and change the background color.
So I thought I would add a boolean setter and getter to the entity:
public void setIsSelectedForEdit(boolean _isSelectedForEdit) {
NSLog.out.appendln(setIsSelectedForEdit in the object = +
_isSelectedForEdit);
this._isSelectedForEdit = _isSelectedForEdit;
}
public boolean isSelectedForEdit() {
return _isSelectedForEdit;
}
then if the users checks the checkbox in an arbitrary group I could know which
are selected and update the CSS. (I also have an AjaxObserveField watching the
checkBox and the whole thing is wrapped in an updateContainer)
it works, sort of. the attribute _isSelectedForEdit is getting set but the
Entity doesn't know it was changed. I don't care about saving this boolean
value, I just need to know which rows to color (I will save THIS value).
That's when I decided to try a 'Real' attribute.
td
wo:WOCheckBox checked = $theGridItem.globalUpdate id =
$session.rowID/webobject name = SelectedForEditObserveField/
/td
globalUpdate is a real boolean attribute of my Grid object.
if I bind this attribute to the checkBox, all the objects are marked as updated.
so on a lark (or maybe it was a bluejay) I switched back to my original setter
with a nod to the real attribute:
public void setIsSelectedForEdit(boolean _isSelectedForEdit) {
NSLog.out.appendln(setIsSelectedForEdit in the object = +
_isSelectedForEdit);
this._isSelectedForEdit = _isSelectedForEdit;
/* let the value be false
* as I don't really care about this value
*/
this.takeValueForKey(false, _Grid.GLOBAL_UPDATE);
}
This works as I want. the row get marked to update, the real value never
changes (I can throw it away) and
NSLog.out.appendln(checkAlteredAction ==+ theEC.updatedObjects());
only lists the rows that are selected (checked) as altered.
I don't want to say that there must be a better way. But if it works and
doesn't blow up then it is good, right?
There is just too much to learn for one lifetime.

NSLog.out.appendln(setIsSelectedForEdit
in the object = + _isSelectedForEdit);
this._isSelectedForEdit =
_isSelectedForEdit;
/* let the value be false
* as I don't really care about
this value
*/
this.takeValueForKey(false,
_Grid.GLOBAL_UPDATE);
}
This works as I want. the row get marked to
update, the real value never changes (I can throw it away)
and
NSLog.out.appendln(checkAlteredAction
== + theEC.updatedObjects());
only lists the rows that are selected (checked) as
altered.
I don't want to say that there must be a better
way. But if it works and doesn't blow up then it is good,
right?
There is just too much to learn for one lifetime.

Probably. :-) You could override
the setter and
log out the original and new value and see if
that shows
anything. An object being in the updated
list just
indicates that it _may_ have changed. So
either the value is
getting changed, or WOCheckBox is needlessly
setting the
Boolean to the exact same value.

Re: changed objects
I've taken the route of having my EO superclass have an isSelected boolean that
I can re-use for a purpose like this.

Why not keep an array of selected rows in your UI component and then
use that to decide re: CSS

okay, let me tell you what I want to accomplish.
I have a table of 100 rows. I want the user to select an arbitrary group of
rows and change the background color.
So I thought I would add a boolean setter and getter to the entity:
public void setIsSelectedForEdit(boolean _isSelectedForEdit) {
NSLog.out.appendln(setIsSelectedForEdit in the object = +
_isSelectedForEdit);
this._isSelectedForEdit = _isSelectedForEdit;
}
public boolean isSelectedForEdit() {
return _isSelectedForEdit;
}
then if the users checks the checkbox in an arbitrary group I could know
which are selected and update the CSS. (I also have an AjaxObserveField
watching the checkBox and the whole thing is wrapped in an updateContainer)
it works, sort of. the attribute _isSelectedForEdit is getting set but the
Entity doesn't know it was changed. I don't care about saving this boolean
value, I just need to know which rows to color (I will save THIS value).
That's when I decided to try a 'Real' attribute.
td
wo:WOCheckBox checked = $theGridItem.globalUpdate id =
$session.rowID/webobject name = SelectedForEditObserveField/
/td
globalUpdate is a real boolean attribute of my Grid object.
if I bind this attribute to the checkBox, all the objects are marked as
updated.
so on a lark (or maybe it was a bluejay) I switched back to my original
setter with a nod to the real attribute:
public void setIsSelectedForEdit(boolean _isSelectedForEdit) {
NSLog.out.appendln(setIsSelectedForEdit in the object = +
_isSelectedForEdit);
this._isSelectedForEdit = _isSelectedForEdit;
/* let the value be false
* as I don't really care about this value
*/
this.takeValueForKey(false, _Grid.GLOBAL_UPDATE);
}
This works as I want. the row get marked to update, the real value never
changes (I can throw it away) and
NSLog.out.appendln(checkAlteredAction ==+ theEC.updatedObjects());
only lists the rows that are selected (checked) as altered.
