boolean	isDragAccepted(javafx.scene.input.DragEvent event) Checks whether drag over the pdo is accepted.
boolean	providesTreeChildObjects() Determines whether this object may have child objects that should be visible in a navigatable tree.
boolean	providesTreeParentObjects() Determines whether the navigatable object tree should show the parents of this object. Objects may be childs of different parents in terms of "being referenced from" or any other relation, for example: the warehouses this customer visited.
boolean	stopTreeExpansion() Determines whether tree explansion should stop at this object. Sometimes treechilds should not be expanded if in a recursive "expand all".

Method Detail

getBundle

ResourceBundle getBundle()

Gets the resource bundle for this provider.

Returns:

the resource bundle

createIcon

javafx.scene.image.ImageView createIcon()

Gets the PDO's icon.
The icon is displayed in trees, for example.

Returns:

the icon

editorExists

boolean editorExists()

Returns whether a controller exists to edit or view this object.

Returns:

true if a controller exists

See Also:

createEditor()

createEditor

<C extends PdoEditor<T>> C createEditor()

Creates a controller to edit or view this object.

Type Parameters:

C - the controller type

Returns:

the controller

Throws:

FxRuntimeException - if editorExists() == false

finderExists

boolean finderExists()

Returns whether a finder exists to search for PDOs.

Returns:

true if controller exists

createFinder

<C extends PdoFinder<T>> C createFinder()

Creates a controller to search PDOs.

Type Parameters:

C - the controller type

Returns:

the controller

Throws:

FxRuntimeException - if editorExists() == false

createDragboard

javafx.scene.input.Dragboard createDragboard(javafx.scene.Node node)

Creates the dragboard for the pdo.

Parameters:

node - the drag source

Returns:

the dragboard, null if PDO is not a DnD source

isDragAccepted

boolean isDragAccepted(javafx.scene.input.DragEvent event)

Checks whether drag over the pdo is accepted.

Parameters:

event - the drag event

Returns:

true if accepted, false if PDO does not accept the drag

dropDragboard

void dropDragboard(javafx.scene.input.Dragboard dragbord)

Drops the dragboard on the pdo.

Parameters:

dragbord - the dragboard

getTreeRoot

T getTreeRoot()

Gets the object to be displayed in trees in place of this object.

Returns:

the object to be displayed in a tree

getTreeText

<P extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<P>> String getTreeText(P parent)

Gets the tree text with respect to the parent object this object is displayed in a tree.

Type Parameters:

P - the parent PDO type

Parameters:

parent - is the parent object, null if no parent

Returns:

the tree text

getToolTipText

<P extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<P>> String getToolTipText(P parent)

Gets the tooltip text with respect to the parent object this object is displayed in a tree.

Type Parameters:

P - the parent PDO type

Parameters:

parent - is the parent object, null if no parent

Returns:

the tooltip text

createTreeItem

javafx.scene.control.TreeItem<T> createTreeItem()

Creates the tree item for this pdo.

Returns:

the tree item

createTreeCell

javafx.scene.control.TreeCell<T> createTreeCell()

Creates a tree cell for this type of pdo.

Returns:

the tree cell

stopTreeExpansion

boolean stopTreeExpansion()

Determines whether tree explansion should stop at this object.
Sometimes treechilds should not be expanded if in a recursive "expand all". However they should expand if the user explicitly wants to. If this method returns true, the tree will not further expand this node automatically (only on demand).

Returns:

true if expansion should stop.

providesTreeChildObjects

boolean providesTreeChildObjects()

Determines whether this object may have child objects that should be visible in a navigatable tree.

Returns:

true if object may have childs

getTreeChildObjects

<P extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<P>> Collection<? extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<?>> getTreeChildObjects(P parent)

Gets the childs with respect to the parent object this object is displayed in the current tree.

Type Parameters:

P - the parent PDO type

Parameters:

parent - the parent object of this object in the tree, null = no parent

Returns:

the childs

getTreeExpandMaxDepth

int getTreeExpandMaxDepth()

Gets the maximum level of expansion allowed in a navigatable object tree.
The default is 0, i.e. no limit.

Returns:

the maximum depth of a subtree of this object, 0 = no limit (default)

providesTreeParentObjects

boolean providesTreeParentObjects()

Determines whether the navigatable object tree should show the parents of this object.
Objects may be childs of different parents in terms of "being referenced from" or any other relation, for example: the warehouses this customer visited. Trees may provide a button to make these parents visible. The default implementation returns false.

Returns:

true if showing parents is enabled

getTreeParentObjects

<P extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<P>> Collection<? extends org.tentackle.pdo.PersistentDomainObject<?>> getTreeParentObjects(P parent)

Gets the parents with respect to the parent object this object is displayed in the current tree.

Type Parameters:

P - the parent PDO type

Parameters:

parent - the parent object, null if no parent

Returns:

the parents
