All Implemented Interfaces:

public class SystemNewFilterWizard
extends AbstractSystemWizard

Base Wizard for users to define a new system filter. While subsystem providers are free to offer their own wizards, this abstracts out much of it and makes it easy to simply override and supply a couple classes to offer a totally unique presentation to the user.

Some guiding design rules for this wizard:

  • Users are confused about filter strings versus filters. So, we don't support the creation of multiple filter strings at the time the filter is created, only after via the change action. The wizard basically prompts for the creation of a single new filter string.
  • Users are confused about "naming" a filter, so the name is not asked for until the second page, and it is possible for subclasses to default that name to something intelligent based on the contents of the first page, such that users can press Finish and not think about the name.

While this class can be subclassed, you should find all attributes can be configured via setters.

Method Detail

setAllowFilterPoolSelection

public void setAllowFilterPoolSelection(
ISystemFilterPool[] poolsToSelectFrom)
If you want to prompt the user for the parent filter pool to create this filter in, call this with the list of filter pools. In this case, the filter pool passed into the constructor will be used as the initial selection.


setAllowFilterPoolSelection

public void setAllowFilterPoolSelection(
ISystemFilterPoolWrapperInformation poolsToSelectFrom)
This is an alternative to setAllowFilterPoolSelection(ISystemFilterPool[])

If you want to prompt the user for the parent filter pool to create this filter in, but want to not use the term "pool" say, you can use an array of euphamisms. That is, you can pass an array of objects that map to filter pools, but have a different display name that is shown in the dropdown.

Of course, if you want to do this, then you will likely want to offer a different label and tooltip for the prompt, and different verbiage above the prompt. The object this method accepts as a parameter encapsulates all that information, and there is a default class you can use for this.


setType

public void setType(
String type)
Set the type of filter we are creating. Results in a call to setType on the new filter. Types are not used by the base filter framework but are a way for tools to create typed filters and have unique actions per filter type.


getType

public 
String getType()
Get the type of filter as set by setType(String)


setShowFilterStrings

public void setShowFilterStrings(boolean show)
Call in order to not have the first page, but instead the name-prompt page. Default is true.

See Also:
setDefaultFilterStrings(String[])

setShowNamePrompt

public void setShowNamePrompt(boolean show)
Call in order to not prompt the user for a filter name. This also implies we will not be prompting for a parent filter pool! Default is true.

This is used when creating temporary filters that won't be saved. In this case, on Finish a filter is not created! Instead, call getFilterStrings() to get the filter strings created by the user ... typically there is just one unless you also called setDefaultFilterStrings, in which case they will also be returned.

For convenience, when this is called, setShowInfoPage(false) is called for you


setNamePageHelp

public void setNamePageHelp(
String helpId)
Specify the help to show for the name page (page 2)


setShowInfoPage

public void setShowInfoPage(boolean show)
Call in order to not show the final info-only page of the wizard. Default is true.


setDefaultFilterStrings

public void setDefaultFilterStrings(
String[] defaultFilterStrings)
Call this if you want the filter to auto-include some default filter strings.


setFromRSE

public void setFromRSE(boolean rse)
Set if we are creating a filter for use in the RSE or not. This affects the tips and help.

This is set to true automatically by the subsystem factory base class in the RSE, else it defaults to false.


setFilterPoolSelectionValidator

public void setFilterPoolSelectionValidator(
ISystemFilterPoolSelectionValidator validator)
Set the validator to call when the user selects a filter pool. Optional. Only valid in create mode.


setSystemFilterPoolReferenceManagerProvider

public void setSystemFilterPoolReferenceManagerProvider(
ISystemFilterPoolReferenceManagerProvider provider)
Set the contextual system filter pool reference manager provider. Eg, in the RSE, this will be the selected subsystem if the New Filter action is launched from there, or if launched from a filter pool reference under there.

Will be non-null if the current selection is a reference to a filter pool or filter, or a reference manager provider.

This is passed into the filter and filter string wizards and dialogs in case it is needed for context.


setVerbiage

public void setVerbiage(
String verbiage)
Set the verbiage to show on the final page. By default, it shows a tip about creating multiple filter strings via the Change action. Use this method to change that default.


setWizardPageTitle

public void setWizardPageTitle(
String pageTitle)
Set the wizard page title. Using this makes it possible to avoid subclassing. The page title goes below the wizard title, and can be unique per page. However, typically the wizard page title is the same for all pages... eg "Filter".

This is not used by default, but can be queried via getPageTitle() when constructing pages.

Specified by:
setWizardPageTitle in interface ISystemWizard
Overrides:
setWizardPageTitle in class AbstractSystemWizard

setPage1Description

public void setPage1Description(
String description)
Set the description to display on the first page of the wizard


setFilterStringEditPane

public void setFilterStringEditPane(
SystemFilterStringEditPane editPane)
Specify an edit pane that prompts the user for the contents of a filter string.


createMainPage

protected 
SystemNewFilterWizardMainPage createMainPage()
Extendable point for child classes. You don't need to override typically though... rather you can simply supply your own filter string edit pane.

By default, this page uses the wizard page title as set in setWizardPageTitle(...) or the constructor.

Returns:
the primary page prompting for a single filter string.

createNamePage

protected 
SystemNewFilterWizardNamePage createNamePage()
By default, this page uses the wizard page title as set in setWizardPageTitle(...) or the constructor.

Returns:
the wizard page prompting for the filter name and parent filter pool
Since:
3.0 moved SystemNewFilterWizardNamePage from internal to API

createInfoPage

protected 
SystemNewFilterWizardInfoPage createInfoPage()
Extendable point for child classes. You don't need to override typically though.

By default, this page uses the wizard page title as set in setWizardPageTitle(...) or the constructor.

Returns:
the final wizard page with additional readonly information

addPages

public void addPages()
Override of parent to do nothing

Specified by:
addPages in interface IWizard
Specified by:
addPages in class AbstractSystemWizard

createPageControls

public void createPageControls(
Composite c)
Creates the wizard pages. This method is an override from the parent Wizard class.

Specified by:
createPageControls in interface IWizard
Overrides:
createPageControls in class Wizard

getFilterNameValidator

protected 
ISystemValidator getFilterNameValidator(
ISystemFilterContainer container)
Extendable point for child classes. Override to change the validator used for the filter name given the master object. By default, uses FilterNameValidator.


getFilterNameValidator

public static 
ISystemValidator getFilterNameValidator(
ISystemFilterContainer container,
                                                      
ISystemFilter filter)
Reusable method to return a name validator for renaming a filter.

Parameters:
container - the current filter object on updates. Can be null for new names. Used to remove from the existing name list the current filter's name.
filter - the filter whose name should be removed from the validation list. May be null if the list from the container should be used intact.
Returns:
a name validator

areStringsCaseSensitive

public boolean areStringsCaseSensitive()
Override if necessary. Returns true if filter strings are case-sensitive in this filter.

By default, returns the value in the selected filter container. If this is null, returns false.


performFinish

public boolean performFinish()
Completes processing of the wizard. If this method returns true, the wizard will close; otherwise, it will stay active. This method is an override from the parent Wizard class.

Specified by:
performFinish in interface IWizard
Specified by:
performFinish in class AbstractSystemWizard
Returns:
whether the wizard finished successfully

getParent

protected 
Object getParent()
Return the parent into which we are creating a filter. If filterContainer has been set, returns that, else returns getInputObject() which is set by the calling action.


getFilterContainer

protected 
ISystemFilterContainer getFilterContainer()
Return parent filter container to contain this filter


setFilterContainer

public void setFilterContainer(
ISystemFilterContainer container)

ISystemFilterContainer filterParent,
                                     
String aliasName,
                                     
Vector filterStringsVector,
                                     
String type)
                              throws
