Related entity's data in a form field
Hello all:
I need to reference a value from a related entity. For example, I am
displaying a list of Product, and one of the fields is the Category
Name.
<field name="Primary Catgory">
<display-entity entity-name="ProductCategory"
key-field-name="productCategoryId" description="${categoryName}" >
<sub-hyperlink target="EditCategory" description="${categoryName}" >
<parameter param-name="productCategoryId" value="${primaryProductCategoryId}" />
</sub-hyperlink>
</display-entity>
</field>
I want to display ProductCategory.categoryName instead of ProductCategory.productCategoryId which is matched on Product.primaryProductCategoryId
On the other hand, I keep on getting an exception that I don't understand:
2010-08-26 08:03:45,061 (http-0.0.0.0-8443-3) [FlexibleMapAccessor.java:141:INFO ] UEL exception while getting value: javax.el.ELException: Error parsing '${Primary Catgory}': syntax error at position 10, encountered 'Catgory', expected '}', original = Primary Catgory
Any idea ?

Use this service in <row-actions tag and do simple mapping as follow
<service service-name="findPartiesById" result-map="myParty">
<field-map field-name="idToFind"
from-field="manufacturerPartyId" />
</service>
the value of manufacturerPartyId will be available though the list which
you getting from entity-condition so it will map .
if further does not work then post you comment

Cool, but what is the genericValueName here in my case ?
Here's the form definition:
<form name="ListProducts" type="list" title="Products List" default-table-style="basic-table" odd-row-style="alternate-row" use-row-submit="false">
<actions>
<entity-condition entity-name="Product">
<order-by field-name="internalName" />
</entity-condition>
<service service-name="findPartiesById" result-map="myParty">
<field-map field-name="idToFind" value="${manufacturerPartyId}" />
</service>
<set field="manufacturerDescription" value="${myParty.party['description']}" />
</actions>
<field name="internalName" title="Name">
<hyperlink target="EditProduct?productId=${productId}"
description="${internalName}" />
</field>
<field name="manufacturerId" title="Manufacturer">
<hyperlink description="${manufacturerDescription}" target="/partymgr/control/viewprofile" target-type="content">
<parameter param-name="partyId" value="${manufacturerPartyId}" />
</hyperlink>
</field>
</form>
In other words, how do I refrence the current entity ?
Thank you, Ravi

you have do field-map idToFind from genericValueName.manufacturePartyId in
from-field element and you job is done .

Ravi thank you.
I got it working. One thing is still missing, how do I extract the
variable name in the parameter ? See the comments.
<actions>
<entity-condition entity-name="Product">
<order-by field-name="internalName" />
</entity-condition>
<service service-name="findPartiesById" result-map="myParty">
<!-- I have the value hard coded to 10000, but I want to
use the manufacturerPartyId. -->
<field-map field-name="idToFind" value="10000" />
</service>
<set field="manufacturerDescription" value="${myParty.party['description']}" />
</actions>
Thank you.

Hi,
I have not gone through all posting but based on your last post I am only
getting the idea that you are getting a generic value of party and also
getting the createdByUserLogin value as admin , so simply you can get the by
party.createdByUserLogin .

Re: Related entity's data in a form field

To clarify my issue, the code I have posted results in a field showing
the who map (or list). What I need is a single value only from this map.
Here's an example output:
{responseMessage=success, party=[GenericEntity:Party][createdByUserLogin,admin(java.lang.String)][createdDate,2010-08-30 19:49:06.594(java.sql.Timestamp)][createdStamp,2010-08-30
19:49:06.663(java.sql.Timestamp)][createdTxStamp,2010-08-30 19:49:06.594(java.sql.Timestamp)][dataSourceId,null()][description,SomeManufacturer
manufacturer(java.lang.String)][externalId,null()][isUnread,null()][lastModifiedByUserLogin,admin(java.lang.String)][lastModifiedDate,2010-08-30
19:49:06.594(java.sql.Timestamp)][lastUpdatedStamp,2010-09-04 10:01:11.346(java.sql.Timestamp)][lastUpdatedTxStamp,2010-09-04
10:01:11.22(java.sql.Timestamp)][partyId,10000(java.lang.String)][partyTypeId,PARTY_GROUP(java.lang.String)][preferredCurrencyUomId,USD(java.lang.String)][statusId,PARTY_ENABLED(java.lang.String)],
partiesFound={}}
Let's say I need the value for createdByUserLogin, how do I extract this
value and put it in a hyperlink ? The documentaion doesn't show this.

Re: Related entity's data in a form field
Posted by Mansour Al Akeel <ma...@gmail.com>.
Bruno, this is what I have so far. In the manufacturer field I want to
display the name, if the name doesn't exist as it's not required, then
it should display the id. Note that, I have the manufacturer id hard
coded, as I couldn't find a way yet to extract the value and pass it to
the service "findPartiesById". Any idea?
<form name="ListProducts" type="list" title="Products List" default-table-style="basic-table" odd-row-style="alternate-row">
<actions>
<entity-condition entity-name="Product">
<order-by field-name="internalName" />
</entity-condition>
<service service-name="findPartiesById" result-map="myParty">
<field-map field-name="idToFind" value="10000" /> <!-- HARD CODED THE VALUE FOR NOW -->
</service>
<set field="manufacturer" from-field="myParty" />
</actions>
<field name="internalName" title="Name">
<hyperlink target="EditProduct?productId=${productId}" description="${internalName}" />
</field>
<field name="partyId" title="Manufacturer">
<display-entity entity-name="Party" key-field-name="partyId" description="${manufacturerPartyId}">
<sub-hyperlink target="/partymgr/control/viewprofile" description="${manufacturer}" target-type="content"> <!--Here I need the description or any other field from Party -->
<parameter param-name="partyId" value="${manufacturerPartyId}" />
</sub-hyperlink>
</display-entity>
</field>
</form>

Re: Related entity's data in a form field
Posted by Bruno Busco <br...@gmail.com>.
Could this help?
(cut and paste from
http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/ofbiz_form_widget_cookbook.txt)
* How to use the same field or value more than once on the form
Let's say you need to display productId twice on your form, once as
productId and once as the product description.
The form widget will only display each field name="" once. You can
explicitly set the 'entry-name' attribute (by default the
'entry-name' attribute is equals to the 'name' attribute) to make it
display the same field twice.
<field name="productId"><display/></field>
<field name="productDescription" entry-name="productId">
<display-entity entity-name="Product"/> <!-- defaults to display
description -->
</field>

Hello all:
This question is still unanswered. I am not sure if I missunderstand the
documentation from widget_cookbook. If there's something unclear, please
let me know.

Re: Related entity's data in a form field
Posted by Mansour Al Akeel <ma...@gmail.com>.
Hello Bruno,
No, that didn't help. It extracts the filed from an entity obtained by
calling another service. I don't see a need for this. THe entity I want
to use its field is in hand, it's just the matter of how to reference
it, and use its field.

Hi Mansour,
please search for <form name="UpdateProductCategoryMember"
in the ProductForms.xml file.
There is a <field name="productCategoryId"
that I think is what you want to do.

Re: Related entity's data in a form field
Posted by Mansour Al Akeel <ma...@gmail.com>.
Let me clarify what I want.
from http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/ofbiz_form_widget_cookbook.txt I got this:
<field name="glAccountId" title="Account" widget-style="tabletext">
<display-entity entity-name="GlAccount" description="${accountName}">
<sub-hyperlink target="ListGlAccountEntries?glAccountId=${glAccountId}" description="[${glAccountId}]" link-style="tabletext"/>
</display-entity>
</field>
My code is :
<field name="primaryProductCategoryId" title="Primary Category">
<display-entity entity-name="ProductCategory" key-field-name="productCategoryId" description="${categoryName}">
<sub-hyperlink target="EditCategory" description="${categoryName}" target-type="intra-app">
<parameter param-name="productCategoryId" value="${primaryProductCategoryId}" />
</sub-hyperlink>
</display-entity>
</field>
But this is not working. I need to put the CategoryName and not the
"categoryId" in the link. Any one can help ?

Re: Related entity's data in a form field

Bruno,
this will resolve the issue with exception. But still don't know how to
display a value from the related entity.
Here's the code:
<field name="primaryProductCategoryId" title="Primary Category">
<display-entity entity-name="ProductCategory"
key-field-name="productCategoryId" description="${categoryName}">
<sub-hyperlink target="EditCategory"
description="${categoryName}" target-type="intra-app">
<parameter param-name="productCategoryId" value="${primaryProductCategoryId}" />
</sub-hyperlink>
</display-entity>
</field>
How can I use the "${categoryName}" in the sub-hyperlink ?

I think you cannot have "spaces" in field names.
Try <field name="primaryCategory">
instead of
<field name="Primary Catgory">
