intake fields dependent on other fields
Hi-
A number of fields in my form are required IF a checkbox has been
selected. Is there a way to inform Intake that the field is only
required if the other field has a certain value? More generally, is
there a way to specify rules for one field based on the values of other
fields?
Also, I haven't been able to find a document describing the built-in
rules in Intake. Does such a document exist? The Howto and Intake
Service documents seem to be lacking
Thanks in advance,
Dan Marcus

We use the Field.setMessage() method inside the action to provide a
special error message for that case. This sets the valid_flag of the
corresponding field to false, so that the message will be displayed.
This way you can even handle value dependencies (e.g. start <= end).

Intake does not support validation rules that span multiple fields. The
best way to accomplish this is to perform the check inside your action.
In this case, the rules that vary according to the value of another
field would not be present in your intake.xml file.

Re: old question about retrieving PrimaryKey from new object
Posted by Michael Mainguy <ma...@mich.com>.
I'm assuming you're autoincrement field is an integer, have you tried
branchAddress.getID() {or whatever the field name is?)
That works for me...
I also noticed there is a setBranchAddress(BranchAddress a) on my Base
Objects, perhaps that would work too (I haven't tried it though).

Re: old question about retrieving PrimaryKey from new object [SOLUTION]
Posted by Michael Mainguy <ma...@mich.com>.
That's pretty funny, because I've been creating tables left and right
and I have constantly remind myself to make sure the id_table values get
generated. The way it's set up in the init target something gets
screwed up and none of my idtable rows get properly generated. I've
been manually running the generated sql script, I didn't realize there
was an ant target that would do it... Good information!

alright... I got so used to not running ant init I had forgotten to hit
my id-table... so it looks like when developing using the following
targets
ant project-om
ant project-sql
you should also hit the target
ant project-id-table-init-sql
to update the idbroker entries in id_table if you create
new tables in your project.
arg... I should have looked for this sooner ;)
Thanks for the help!

hmm... I added this additional table later in my project than the original
elements and it looks like there is no entry in ID_TABLE for the ADDRESS
table.
maybe I need to regenerate my sql targets :)
thanks for the pointer... I'll post the exact solution when I get it.

Are you sure that Address is using autoincrement, rather than inheriting
idbroker from the database element?

old question about retrieving PrimaryKey from new object
Posted by Jeffery Painter <pa...@kiasoft.com>.
I know I've read the posts many many times about returning the primary key
of a newly formed base object, and I thought I had figured it all out.
However, I'm running into a wall with an action trying to do a complex
insert of multiple objects from one form.
I have the following code but it is returning null for the primary keys
database is set to use idbroker and keys are autoincrement, mysql database
my action doInsert method
Date now = new Date();
Participant entry = new Participant();
Address branchAddress = new Address();
Address mailingAddress = new Address();
data.getParameters().setProperties(entry);
entry.setDateCreated(now);
entry.setDateModified(now);
branchAddress.setNew(true);
branchAddress.save();
mailingAddress.setNew(true);
mailingAddress.save();
entry.setBranchAddressId( branchAddress.getPrimaryKey() );
entry.setMailingAddressId( mailingAddress.getPrimaryKey() );
entry.setNew(true);
entry.save();
my participant object has the following base methods generated from torque
public void setBranchAddressId(NumberKey v )
public void setBranchAddressId(String v )
public void setAddressRelatedByBranchAddressId(Address v)
I've tried using all three methods, however, they all end up being null
Am I missing a step here? shouldn't the primary key be available after the
save method or is there something else I need to do.
Thanks,

The turbine-user list archives are going to be your best resource for
intake, and will answer just about any question you have. It especially
will provide some approaches for this issue.

The intake howto in the unrealeased 2.3 development module is *slightly*
improved over the 2.2 howto, you can find it at
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/howto/intake-howto.html. The
rule section of the document describes all the built-in rules available. It
is easy to write your own validators if need be.
Depending on your java expertise and project timeline, you might consider
looking into the revamped intake in 2.3.
Good luck,
Chris
