All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, StandardBean, ViewContext

public class MetaPropertyContext
extends DefaultViewContext

A ViewContext implementation provided the factory registry when creating new editors and renderers. This context potentially has a reference to the parent and additionally provides access to the registry used to create it as well as the PropertyType it was loaded under and so on.

Constructor Detail

MetaPropertyContext

public MetaPropertyContext(PropertyType type,
                           FactoryRegistry factories,
                           boolean editable)

MetaPropertyContext

public MetaPropertyContext(ViewContext parent,
                           PropertyType type,
                           FactoryRegistry factories,
                           boolean editable)

Method Detail

isEditable

public boolean isEditable()

Returns true if the general context is editable. Individual components and sub-contexts can still decide to be editable or not on their own but this can clue them into what the original intent of this context hierarhcy was.

getPropertyType

public PropertyType getPropertyType()

Returns the local PropertyType that spawned this MetaPropertyContext.

getFactoryRegistry

public FactoryRegistry getFactoryRegistry()

Returns the FactoryRegistry that participants in this context should use when creating new components.

getPropertyForm

public MetaForm getPropertyForm(MetaFormFlavor flavor)

Returns the form with the specified flavor for this context's property type and factory registry. This is both a convenience method and possible way for overriding this behavior in the future. This implementation calls getFactoryRegistry().getForm( getPropertyType(), flavor ).
