      org.dspace.app.webui.submit.step.JSPSampleStep

public class JSPSampleStep
extends JSPStep

This is a Sample Step class which can be used as template for creating new custom JSP-UI Step classes!

Please Note: This class works in conjunction with the org.dspace.submit.step.SampleStep , which is a sample step processing class!

This step can be added to any Submission process (for testing purposes) by adding the following to the appropriate tag in the /config/item-submission.xml: Sample org.dspace.submit.step.SampleStep org.dspace.app.webui.submit.step.JSPSampleStep true

The following methods are called in this order:

• Call doPreProcessing() method
• If showJSP() was specified from doPreProcessing(), then the JSP specified will be displayed
• If showJSP() was not specified from doPreProcessing(), then the doProcessing() method is called an the step completes immediately
• Call doProcessing() method on appropriate AbstractProcessingStep after the user returns from the JSP, in order to process the user input
• Call doPostProcessing() method to determine if more user interaction is required, and if further JSPs need to be called.
• If there are more "pages" in this step then, the process begins again (for the new page).
• Once all pages are complete, control is forwarded back to the SubmissionController, and the next step is called.

Method Detail

doPreProcessing

public void doPreProcessing(Context context,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                            SubmissionInfo subInfo)
                     throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                            IOException,
                            SQLException,
                            AuthorizeException

Do any pre-processing to determine which JSP (if any) is used to generate the UI for this step. This method should include the gathering and validating of all data required by the JSP. In addition, if the JSP requires any variable to passed to it on the Request, this method should set those variables.

If this step requires user interaction, then this method must call the JSP to display, using the "showJSP()" method of the JSPStepManager class.

If this step doesn't require user interaction OR you are solely using Manakin for your user interface, then this method may be left EMPTY, since all step processing should occur in the doProcessing() method.

Specified by:

doPreProcessing in class JSPStep

Parameters:

context - current DSpace context

request - current servlet request object

response - current servlet response object

subInfo - submission info object

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

IOException

SQLException

AuthorizeException

doPostProcessing

public void doPostProcessing(Context context,
                             javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                             javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                             SubmissionInfo subInfo,
                             int status)
                      throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                             IOException,
                             SQLException,
                             AuthorizeException

Do any post-processing after the step's backend processing occurred (in the doProcessing() method).

It is this method's job to determine whether processing completed successfully, or display another JSP informing the users of any potential problems/errors.

If this step doesn't require user interaction OR you are solely using Manakin for your user interface, then this method may be left EMPTY, since all step processing should occur in the doProcessing() method.

Specified by:

doPostProcessing in class JSPStep

Parameters:

context - current DSpace context

request - current servlet request object

response - current servlet response object

subInfo - submission info object

status - any status/errors reported by doProcessing() method

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

IOException

SQLException

AuthorizeException

getNumberOfPages

public int getNumberOfPages(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                            SubmissionInfo subInfo)
                     throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Retrieves the number of pages that this "step" extends over. This method is used by the SubmissionController to build the progress bar.

This method may just return 1 for most steps (since most steps consist of a single page). But, it should return a number greater than 1 for any "step" which spans across a number of HTML pages. For example, the configurable "Describe" step (configured using input-forms.xml) overrides this method to return the number of pages that are defined by its configuration file.

Steps which are non-interactive (i.e. they do not display an interface to the user) should return a value of 1, so that they are only processed once!

Parameters:

request - The HTTP Request

subInfo - The current submission information object

Returns:

the number of pages in this step

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

getReviewJSP

public String getReviewJSP(Context context,
                           javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                           javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                           SubmissionInfo subInfo)

Return the URL path (e.g. /submit/review-metadata.jsp) of the JSP which will review the information that was gathered in this Step.

This Review JSP is loaded by the 'Verify' Step, in order to dynamically generate a submission verification page consisting of the information gathered in all the enabled submission steps.

Specified by:

getReviewJSP in class JSPStep

Parameters:

context - current DSpace context

request - current servlet request object

response - current servlet response object

subInfo - submission info object
