Hi Vishma,
It you can't change the original class - because it was written for some
other purpose - then perhaps it might be better to wrap it in a view model
of your own control. I'm not certain that overriding getBookType() is
going to work, because it would impact any other users of that view model.
One way to achieve your objective would be to use LibraryMember.layout.json
to hide the original getBookType(), and then define a mixin to expose your
decode.
@Mixin
public class LibraryMember_decodedBookType {
private final LibraryMember libraryMember;
public LibraryMember_decodedBookType(LibraryMember lm) {
this.libraryMember = lm; }
@Action(semanticsOf=SAFE)
@ActionLayout(contributed=AS.Association)
public String bookTypeDecoded() {
return libraryMember.getBookType().equals("N") ? "Novel": "Misc";
}
}
