I am a little bit confused.
Here is my problem:
There is in exteNd Director a screen where you can define your forms.
The properties are stored in a database and there is an API to get each
property define for the a particular form.
Basically :
return a Collection of fields for a named form.
The collection defines
the name
the type (checkbox, radio, selectbox ...)
the default value
pretty much the same way it is done with <form-property>
So I used the "introspect" method from DynaActionFormClass to set the
DynaProperty.
here is an excerpt of my code:
Collection documentFields =
m_cmgr.getDocumentFields(m_context,docType.getDocTypeID());
Iterator iterFields = documentFields.iterator();
while (iterFields.hasNext()) {
EbiDocField field = (EbiDocField)iterFields.next();
DocFieldExt docFieldExt =
DocFieldExt.getDocFieldExt(field.getExtensionMeta());
// set the dynaProperty
DynaProperty dynaProperty = new DynaProperty(field.getFieldName(),
docFieldExt.getClassType());
propertiesMap.put(dynaProperty.getName(), dynaProperty);
if (DocListExt.class.isAssignableFrom(docFieldExt.getClass())) {
// options for select box and radio
DocListExt docListExt = (DocListExt )docFieldExt;
// set the dynaProperty
dynaProperty = new DynaProperty(docListExt.getItemHolderName(),
docListExt.getItemHolderClassType());
propertiesMap.put(dynaProperty.getName(), dynaProperty);
}
docFieldsExt.add(docFieldExt);
}
Thus, at the app server startup every thing is all set for all the forms
property and I just have to call the same JSP (with in the request the id of
my form, actually docTypeID) to see it dynamically change according to what
it should reflect.
Excuse me if I misunderstood your previous answer and those explanation are
not from any help to let you understand my problem.
