Method Detail

initField

void initField(String inputName,
               String formIdentifier,
               FieldDefinition fieldDefinition,
               boolean liveValidation)

This method shall initialise the client side validations for the given field. After all fields are initialised, getClientValidation(boolean) and getOnSubmitValidation() shall be able to provide their validation mechanism, i.e. by having a java-script code prepared.
This method is called from the RecordEditor and the FormResponder.

getOnSubmitValidation

StringBuffer getOnSubmitValidation()

Shall provide the calls needed for doing validation on e.g. form submission.

getClientValidation

StringBuffer getClientValidation(boolean validateLive)

Shall return all calls needed for client side validation, e.g. providing some java-script code.

getNeededJavaScriptFileNames

String[] getNeededJavaScriptFileNames()

Return an array of file names to libraries that shall be included. Makumba could check via page analysis MakumbaJspAnalyzer if the libraries are already included by the programmer, and add them if needed.
