Class ModuleApp

    • Constructor Detail

      • ModuleApp

        public ModuleApp()
        Creates the applications properties without a name. The name must be set in all cases using the setPropertyAtom call.

      • ModuleApp

        public ModuleApp​(Atom propertyAtom)
        Creates the applications properties with the specified name.
        Parameters:
        propertyAtom - the name of the component, unique within it's parent.

    • Method Detail

      • addPredefinedProps

        protected void addPredefinedProps()
                           throws PropException
        Adds the predefined properties for this container. This method is called once just after construction of the property container and sometimes population of it.

        The method should add properties to create or get reference to using the maybeAddProp method. When the PropCnr instance is cloned, the method getPredefinedProps() is called in order for the subclass to be able to retrieve the new instances to these properties, if stored in instance variables.

        Subclasses must override this method to do the appropriate initialization, as this method does nothing for the PropCnr class implementation.

        Overrides:
        addPredefinedProps in class PropCnr
        Throws:
        PropException - for property exceptions.

      • getPredefinedProps

        protected void getPredefinedProps()
        Gets potential references to predefined properties for this container. This method is called once just after cloning of the property container.

        The method should get reference to using the getProp(...) methods. This allows the subclass to be able to retrieve the new instances to the properties created during addPredefinedProps() if stored in instance variables.

        Subclasses must override this method to do the appropriate initialization, as this method does nothing for the PropCnr class implementation.

        Overrides:
        getPredefinedProps in class PropCnr

      • getDescription

        public java.lang.String getDescription()
        Gets the description of the application.
        Returns:
        The application description, or null if not defined.

      • getTextTable

        public TextTable getTextTable()
        Gets the text table that is assigned to the app. In case the application is localized, then you can get text tables for a particular language code, or all, from this instance.
        Returns:
        The text table for the application, or null if none is set.

      • getTextTable

        public TextTable getTextTable​(java.lang.String languageCode)
                       throws LanguageException
        Gets the text table used for a particular language code defined in the app. In the case the language code is mapped to another language, that text table will be returned.
        Parameters:
        languageCode - The language code, or null for the default language.
        Returns:
        The text table for the application, or null if none is set.
        Throws:
        LanguageException - If the languageCode is unknown.

      • isAppLocalized

        public boolean isAppLocalized()
        Gets the setting if this is a localized application, i.e. has support to be displayed in different languages, thus has support uses multiple text tables. This is known by checking the text tables derived text tables and their language codes, and so on. But this is not an optimal solution because it requires computation.
        Returns:
        The configured setting by the app developer if this app supports localization. If so, the text table should have derived text tables for all defined language codes. Errors and warnings will be displayed to the app developer if there is a mismatch of the localization settings and defined language codes.

      • getVSReference

        public VSReference getVSReference​(Atom refAtom)
        Gets the VSReference that is initially used as start-up for the application.
        Specified by:
        getVSReference in interface IGProp<GProp<?>[]>
        Overrides:
        getVSReference in class PropCnr
        Parameters:
        refAtom - The property asking for the VSReference.
        Returns:
        The instance of the VSReference or null if unassigned. The returned instance could also be a VSParticipant and should therefore be processed accordingly.

      • createVSReference

        public VSReference createVSReference​(Atom refAtom,
                                     PropCnr[] returnParent)
        Creates a VSReference instance from the container or any parent containers. The method is used in the Designer to create a VirtualSpace connection for VSRelativeReference to look up the VSReference instance in order to resolve the relative path to the target property.

        This method needs to be overridden by subclasses of PropCnr that has a VSReference as property, and *SHOULD* match getVSReference(Atom).

        The default is to re-target the call to the parent container, and if the root, a folder or a file property is reached, null is returned.

        Overrides:
        createVSReference in class PropCnr
        Parameters:
        refAtom - The property asking for the VSReference.
        returnParent - An array of PropCnr [1] that will be filled in with the parent property of the VSRefernce.
        Returns:
        The instance of the VSReference or null if unassigned. The returned instance could also be a VSParticipant and should therefore be processed accordingly.

        For this method, it's a VSReference.

      • getInitialVSComponent

        public VSComponent getInitialVSComponent()
        Gets the component that initially should have focus, or be called (if VSAction is returned).
        Returns:
        The initial focus or action to call, null for none.

      • getAppSessionFocusProvider

        public IAppSessionFocusProvider getAppSessionFocusProvider()
        Gets the class implementing the interface for application focus provider.
        Returns:
        The instance providing custom focus processing, or null for none (i.e. only default processing).

      • getSelectorReference

        public SelectorReference getSelectorReference()
        Gets the selector reference.

      • isSelectorSelected

        public boolean isSelectorSelected​(EnvProps envProps)
        Verifies if the Module Application (project) is selected or not.
        Parameters:
        envProps - The Client Properties for the Client connections.
        Returns:
        true if selected or no selector is defined, false if unselected or the reference is not resolved.

      • getConfiguredLanguages

        public AppLanguages getConfiguredLanguages()
        Gets the configured languages for the Module application.
        Returns:
        The application languages to use.

      • invalidatePossibleThemes

        public void invalidatePossibleThemes()
        Method to invalidate the computed possible themes.

      • computePossibleThemes

        public GThemes computePossibleThemes()
        Lengthy helper function to compute the possible themes for a module application.

        Once calculated in the server, the value never changes. In the designer, it needs recomputing only when a new panels are added, moved, removed, has theme changes or folders changed/removed with theme masks.

        Returns:
        The return value is a mask of the possible themes.

      • getDefaultThemes

        public GThemes getDefaultThemes()
        Gets the default themes to use for desktop and mobile.
        Returns:
        The theme mask, potentially excluding desktop or mobile!

      • getApplicationThemes

        public GThemes getApplicationThemes()
        Gets the application themes to use for desktop and mobile that are supported.
        Returns:
        The theme mask, generally both desktop and mobile, never null.

      • verify

        public boolean verify​(PropVerification verification)
        Verifies this property container. The check performed is the extension of classes and that no circular reference is present.
        Specified by:
        verify in interface IGProp<GProp<?>[]>
        Overrides:
        verify in class PropCnr
        Parameters:
        verification - The property verification class.
        Returns:
        true if verification should proceed, false if disposed of and verification should not take place.
