checkJSPMetaTemplates

void checkJSPMetaTemplates(java.util.Map templateMap,
                         java.lang.String className,
                         org.jdom.Element typeElt,
                         boolean isExtension)

This method is a Hook to generate custom JSP templates for a given type or extension

The templateMap contains the template file to generate.

• Keys: the name of the file to generate in Type folder
• Values: the name of the metatemplate file to use (in WEB-INF/template/ folder)

Parameters:

templateMap - The map of key/value = file/template

className - The classname of the processing type

typeElt - The XML Element of the processing type

isExtension - boolean true if the type is an Extension Called in private method com.jalios.jcms.TypeProcessor#generateTypeJSP(String, Element)

checkJAVAMetaTemplates

void checkJAVAMetaTemplates(java.util.Map templateMap,
                          java.lang.String className,
                          org.jdom.Element typeElt,
                          boolean isExtension)

This method is a Hook to generate custom JAVA templates for a given type or extension

The templateMap contains the template file to generate.

• Keys: the name of the file (without .java extension)
• Values: the name of the metatemplate file to use (in WEB-INF/template/ folder)

Parameters:

templateMap - The map of key/value = file/template

className - The classname of the processing type

typeElt - The XML Element of the processing type

isExtension - boolean true if the type is an Extension Called in private method com.jalios.jcms.TypeProcessor#processTypes()

getData

Data getData(java.lang.String id)

Retrieve a Data from its id.

This method is invoked only when JCMS internal method could not find any data associated with the specified id (and if no other ChannelPolicyFilter did return a Data).
May be invoked frequently !! Ensure high performance.

This hook can be implemented by plugins creating transient Data (e.g through QueryFilter).

Example :

  public Data getData(String id) {
    if (!id.startsWith("someprefix_") {
      return null;
    }
    // perform data retrieval (preferably using a internal cache on your side)
    // ...
  }
 

Parameters:

id - the id to look for (never null)

Returns:

a Data or null if no Data matching the specified id could be found

Since:

jcms-6.0

isCompatibleWorkflow

boolean isCompatibleWorkflow(Workflow workflow,
                           java.lang.Class typeClass)

This method is a Hook to indicate if a Workflow is compatible with a type class

Parameters:

workflow - the Workflow to test

typeClass - the type Class

Returns:

true if the workflow is compatible with the given type class, false otherwise (or if workflow or type is null) Called in private method com.jalios.jcms.WorkflowManager#isCompatibleWorkflow()
