Class NotificationEntry

java.lang.Object

org.jasig.portlet.notice.NotificationEntry

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class NotificationEntry
extends Object
implements Serializable, Cloneable

This class represents a single notification. It defines a handful of strongly-typed members, plus a few open-ended collections. These collections are for attributes, actions, and states. Strongly-typed items are chosen primarily because they require framework-level special handling. The open-ended collections make the platform extensible. Please add additional members only as a last resort.

The NotificationCategory class contains all the entries for the same category title.

getUrl

public String getUrl()

Optional web address where the user can deal with or learn more about the details of this notification.

public Date getDueDate()

Optional date/time indicating by when the action described in this notification must be completed.

public void setAvailableActions(List<NotificationAction> availableActions)

getStates

public Map<NotificationState,Date> getStates()

Open-ended Map of states that currently apply to this notification. Keys are the states themselves, while values provide a way to indicate the moment when the state was applied. Data sources may leave values null.
