I have been playing with D2W and I may have boxed myself into a corner.
A User is of a type. a User can be a Vendor or a Client or a Worker. So I
thought that I would create an attribute 'userType' in User. I wanted to have
a Vendor tab and a Client tab and I have it mostly working.
when I create a ListVendorPage:
public WOComponent listVendorAction() {
EOEditingContext ec = ERXEC.newEditingContext();
ListPageInterface lpi = (ListPageInterface)
D2W.factory().listPageForEntityNamed("AppUser", session());
EODatabaseDataSource ds = new EODatabaseDataSource(ec, "AppUser");
ERXFetchSpecification<AppUser> fs =
new ERXFetchSpecification<AppUser>(AppUser.ENTITY_NAME,
AppUser.IS_ACTIVE.eq(true).and(AppUser.USER_TYPE.eq("Vendor")), null);
ds.setFetchSpecification(fs);
lpi.setDataSource(ds);
((D2WComponent) lpi).d2wContext().takeValueForKey("ListVendor",
"navigationState");
((D2WComponent) lpi).d2wContext().takeValueForKey("Vendor", "userTypeKey");
return (D2WPage) lpi;
}
I am also adding that userTypeKey so I can target rules like this:
100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAppUser' and userTypeKey = 'Vendor') =>
displayNameForPageConfiguration = "Vendor List"
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
Maybe there is a better way? If I select to edit a Vendor, I wanted rules:
100 : (pageConfiguration = 'EditAppUser' and userTypeKey = 'Vendor') =>
navigationState = "ListVendor" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
100 : (pageConfiguration = 'EditAppUser' and userTypeKey = 'admins') =>
navigationState = "ListAdmins" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
then I thought that what I should be using is inheritance. Vendor inherits
from User, Administrators inherit from User. In the past, I would have created
a User with boolean attributes for Vendor, Client, Employee, Admin. After all
a user can be both an employee and a vendor.
How are youse guys doing this?
