Package com.vaadin.ui.declarative

Class DesignContext

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class DesignContext
extends Object
implements Serializable
    This class contains contextual information that is collected when a component tree is constructed based on HTML design template. This information includes mappings from local ids, global ids and captions to components , as well as a mapping between prefixes and package names (such as "vaadin" -> "com.vaadin.ui"). Versions prior to 7.6 use "v" as the default prefix. Versions starting with 7.6 support reading designs with either "v" or "vaadin" as the prefix, but only write "vaadin" by default. Writing with the legacy prefix can be activated with the property or context parameter Constants.SERVLET_PARAMETER_LEGACY_DESIGN_PREFIX.

      • getComponentByLocalId

        public Component getComponentByLocalId​(String localId)
        Returns a component having the specified local id. If no component is found, returns null.

        Parameters:
        globalId - The global id of the component
        Returns:
        a component whose global id equals globalId

      • getComponentByCaption

        public Component getComponentByCaption​(String caption)
        Returns a component having the specified caption. If no component is found, returns null.
        Parameters:
        caption - The caption of the component

      • setComponentLocalId

        public boolean setComponentLocalId​(Component component,
                                   String localId)
        Creates a mapping between the given local id and the component. Returns true if localId was already mapped to some component or if component was mapped to some string. Otherwise returns false. If the string was mapped to a component c different from the given component, the mapping from c to the string is removed. Similarly, if component was mapped to some string s different from localId, the mapping from s to component is removed.
        Parameters:
        component - The component whose local id is to be set.
        localId - The new local id of the component.
        Returns:
        true, if there already was a local id mapping from the string to some component or from the component to some string. Otherwise returns false.

        Creates a two-way mapping between a prefix and a package name. Note that modifying the mapping for "com.vaadin.ui" may invalidate the backwards compatibility mechanism supporting reading such components with either "v" or "vaadin" as prefix.
