T5: How to handle lookup?
Hi,
I have this problem, say I have a OrderRec:
public class OrderRec {
private Long qty;
private Long supplierID;
private Long itemNo;
// getters/setters omitted
}
now I have a Order page:
public class Order {
private OrderRec rec;
// getter/setter...
@InjectPage
private OrderSupplier supplier;
Object onActionFromSupplier() {
supplier.setOrder(this);
return supplier;
}
}
<t:beaneditform t:id="rec"/>
<t:actionLink t:id="supplier">supplier</t:actionLink>
when user click the supplier link it will open another page where a supplier
will be selected, and the supplier number should be assigned back to the
orderRec in the Order page:
public class OrderSupplier {
@Persist
private Order order;
// getter/setter omitted
Object onSuccess() {
// there should be a way to assign the selected supllier number
return order;
}
}
what is the usual approach in this case? I'm lost here, any help will be
highly appreciated, thanks.
A.C.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the fast answer, i tried the javascript approach and it works,
that does give me some idea, in an intranet app, there are so entities that
are used often in the lookup, maybe components like DateField can be built
for them and use in the UI, this will make the app like a desktop app,
interesting.

Posted by Martin Kersten <Ma...@mercateo.com>.
Hi Angelo,
by asking for a good practice I have one for you:
I use GWT + GWT-Ext works well (but this should work with
every kind of java script).
This example:
<form>
<div class="myPopupSelector">
<input><!-- Textfield in question -->
</div>
</form>
When your GWT component loads you simply add your
Button / Image behind the textfield of all divs
with a given class or id to open up the
popup and save the selection to the textfield
within your div. Sweet and simple.
In the end you can also add a marker class to the input
field just to save you a div.
If you dont use GWT you will have the right idea now.
Just walk the DOM at start up and add a button behind
the textfield to open popup and at the end write the value
in the textfield.
Cheers,
Martin

hi Davor,
In the case of zone, another area in the same page will be opened for the user to do some query/selection and return the result back to main form when done?
I tried jQuery with Thickbox, it pops up another window and we can do some selection, although it appears like another window, but actually part of the same page, works too.
The need for this is quite common in the Intranet app, would like to know what is the usual practice to adopt, thanks for the idea.

to use popup window you need a separate page,

Hi Davor,
This sounds interesting, question, how block be used in a popup window?

uh,
I assumed you were talking about popup window,
I'm doing such thing in my form and I just made a component
that triggers event when something is selected
ComponentResources.trigerEvent("nameSelected", new Object{selectedName})
ComponentResources.trigerEvent("cancel")
then
onNameSelected(String name){.....}
I track my components state to display different block depending on
current actions.
maybe some of this can help you make your own ...

AW: T5: How to handle lookup?
Posted by Martin Kersten <Ma...@mercateo.com>.
Hi Angelo,
what kind of workflow you are referring to?
1. Order Page -> Click
2. Supplier page shows up (same browser tab)
3. User selects supplier -> Click
4. Order page shows up again + supplier is changed.
5. Order page is submitted
or would you like this one:
1. Order Page -> Click
2. User types in supplier or selects it
3. Order Page is submitted
The first flow is simply a Wizard / multi-page behavior.
You need a special page to select the supplier. This page
must know to redirect to the order page.
Idea: just use the order record ID + order id to refer to.
(OnActivate + Persistance)
The second approach mentioned:
Use Java Script. Just open a popup just like a date selector.
An here you are done. It just sounds you are working on a
Intranet (InHouse) application.
Just look at some date picker implementation to get an idea.
Maybe you like GWT + Gwt-Ext for this one. GWT-Ext has a
editor field that has autocompletion and once you are into
it you can generate such a form with ease.
If you are into JavaScript, just open the popup, place an
IFrame into it and use onClose (i am not sure about the event)
to send the opening window a message or set the supplier at once.
Many options harder to explain, check out the java script sites.
There are tutorials for the date pickers where you can grab all
those ideas needed from.
Cheers,
Martin (Kersten)

Are you aware of the client side this involves ?
This is not server side problem...
you have a popup window, which is basicaly another browser with same session.
you have to use javascript...
the popup can reference the parent window by: "window.opener"
...
