Class ListContentTableService

java.lang.Object
wt.templateutil.table.ListContentTableService
All Implemented Interfaces:
HTMLTableServiceEventListener
public class ListContentTableService extends Object implements HTMLTableServiceEventListener
Deprecated.
Deprecation Notice: This class is still valid for this release, however this serves as advance notice that it will be removed in the future. All user interfaces built using the Windchill HTML Template Processing client architecture will be rewritten using a different framework in an upcoming release. This is a implementation of an HTML Table Service that provides special support for presenting the contents of a ContentHolder. The object the content is retrieved from is the current Context Object of the TemplateProcessor that is processing the HTML page making the Windchill script calls. For example, if we are looking at the properties page for a WTPart, then the Context Object is the WTPart who properties are being displayed. This will also be the object used to retrieve the list of contents from.

The primary function of this service to allow the retrieval of the contents, both UrlData and ApplicationData, and presents the those contents in two Tables. One table for the UrlData and one Table for the ApplicationData. The display characteristics of the tables are separately controlled as is presentation. So the tables can either look the same or they can look different. The tables can be presented one after the other or in different parts of the Page.

Currently, AggregateData is not supported. It will be in the future.

To use ListContentTableService, the following Windchill script call needs to be made

tableService action=initializeContents

After this call, the URLData contents and the ApplicationData contents are available to be displayed. There is a call to initialize the HTMLTable object for each type of content. This allows the two tables to be controlled, both in style and position, separately.

For URLData, the following call initializes a WTHtmlTable to present the URLData

tableService action=initURLDataTable URLDATAATTRIBUTES=urlLocation,description

For ApplicationData, the following call initializes a WTHtmlTable to present the ApplicationData

tableService action=INITAPPLICATIONDATATABLE APPLICATIONDATAATTRIBUTES=fileName,format,fileSize,modifyTimestamp,createdBy

Once these WTHtmlTable are created, the rest of the HTML Table Services are available customize them, as shown below.

An example of using the ListContentTableService is :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill>
<!--
tableService action=initializeContents
tableService action=initURLDataTable URLDATAATTRIBUTES=urlLocation,description
tableService action=setHeaderAttributes name=ALL font.size=2 th.align=left
tableService action=setColumnAttributes name=ALL font.size=2 td.bgcolor=#e3e3cf
tableService action=setTableAttributes table.width=100%
tableService action=show
-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Windchill>>
<!--
tableService action=INITAPPLICATIONDATATABLE APPLICATIONDATAATTRIBUTES=fileName,format,fileSize,modifyTimestamp,createdBy
tableService action=setHeaderFromResource POSITION=4 RESOURCEBUNDLE=wt.enterprise.enterpriseResource RESOURCEKEY=UPDATED_BY
tableService action=setHeaderAttributes name=ALL font.size=2 th.align=left
tableService action=setColumnAttributes name=ALL font.size=2 td.bgcolor=#e3e3cf
tableService action=setTableAttributes table.width=100%
tableService action=show
-->
</SCRIPT>

There might be some line wrapping in the text above. All proper Windchill script lines above should begin with tableService.
