Method Details

preset

public void preset(com.infoengine.object.factory.Task task)
            throws WTException

This convenience method is intended to be called in the invoke() method to convert collect and process webject parameters and basic initialization.

Supported API: true

Overrides:

preset in class AbstractWebject

Parameters:

task - The Info*Engine task executed by the user. This is usually the same Task received by the invoke() method.

Throws:

WTException

setHandleGroupIn

protected void setHandleGroupIn(boolean b)

Explicitly tells whether the GROUP_IN parameter should be processed. By default GROUP_IN will be processed in search of ufids to add to the objectRefs array. If a subclass does not desire this behaviour then it should call this method with a value of false. This method should only be called before preset.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

b - The new value for handlGroupIn.

getUfidsAsGroup

protected com.infoengine.object.factory.Group getUfidsAsGroup(com.infoengine.object.factory.Task task)

Retrieves the default input Group from the VDB and combines any OBJECT_REF parameters with it. The resulting Group will have an attribute named "obid" in each element. The default input group is assumed to be formatted this way (not verified) so callers should skip elements missing an obid attirubte or complain as they see fit. This method should only be called after preset.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

task - The input task.

Returns:

Group The ufid group.

postProcess

protected void postProcess(com.infoengine.object.factory.Element e,
 boolean purgeDefault)
                    throws WTException

Subclasses can over-ride if they want to tweak the Element as it's added to the results.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

e - The Element added to the results.

purgeDefault - The flag (true) to purge default contents from the element

Throws:

WTException
