Class MetaFormFlavor

java.lang.Object
  org.progeeks.meta.view.MetaFormFlavor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class MetaFormFlavor
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Defines a usage-type for a certain category of form. A single MetaClass may have different forms that will be used in different circumstances. For example, a read only panel may want to show a different set of fields than a writeable panel. Nested meta-objects may have a reduced or differently-ordered set of fields than if they appeared in a root form. MetaFormFlavors can be defined for these specific uses and the UIs can then draw on them when they need forms. MetaFormFlavors act as a set of customizable enumerated values that can also reference a super-flavor for the flavor that should be used when no specific forms exist for the type.
