The Common-Controls Tag Library

<ctrl:textlist>

The tag creates a TextList field for the data input. The icon beside the input field can be used to add new items to the list below. To delete existing items the delete-icon can be used. The order of the items within the list can be specified by the sortOrder-attribute. The control also allows to sort the list manually.

[ Attributes ]

AttributeTypeDescriptionReq.RTExp
converterJava class or Converter Id Specifies the Converter which should be used to convert the data for the control. If the attribute is not set the framework will use a default converter which matches the controls data type (ConverterRegistry.lookup()).

A converter can be specified in different ways:

  • The public Converter Id is set.
  • Or a full qualified Java class name for the converter is specified. The class must implement the interface Converter

Annotation: The class must to implement the interface Converter!

 
disabledboolean This attribute can be used to disable the control element. It then does not accept any user inputs and does not generate any control element events.  
filterboolean The automatic HTML coding of the column contents can be activated or disabled with the filter-attribute.  
heightString Sets the height of the control element. The height may be specified in absolute or percent terms.

See the HTML documentation

 
idString The name of a page scope JSP bean that will contain the current element. Using the given Id, the variable can be accessed in scripting expressions in the tag Body. The id mus be a string lteral because the JSP compiler generates a variable withthis name at compile time

Annotation: A valid Java identifier must be given.

 
maxlengthInteger Specifies the maximum number of characters for the data input.  
nameString Specifies the name of the Java-Bean. The Java-Bean must be stored in the given scope.

When the tag is surrounded by a Struts <html:form> tag, no Bean Name need be specified. In this case, the Java-Bean is drawn via a property of the Struts Form Bean.

Annotation: A valid Java identifier must be given.

 
onblurString Fires when the object loses the input focus.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onchangeString Fires when the contents of the object or selection have changed.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onclickString Fires when the user clicks the left mouse button on the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
oncontextmenuString Fires when the user clicks the right mouse button in the client area, opening the context menu.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
ondblclickString Fires when the user double-clicks the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onfocusString Fires when the object receives focus.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onkeydownString Fires when the user presses a key.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onkeypressString Fires when the user presses an alphanumeric key.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onkeyupString Fires when the user releases a key.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onmousedownString Fires when the user clicks the object with either mouse button.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onmousemoveString Fires when the user moves the mouse over the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onmouseoutString Fires when the user moves the mouse pointer outside the boundaries of the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onmouseoverString Fires when the user moves the mouse pointer into the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
onmouseupString Fires when the user releases a mouse button while the mouse is over the object.

Annotation: JavaScript Code

 
permissionACL With this attribute, access to the element can be restricted.

Authorizations are checked using the com.cc.framework.security.Principal object in the user session. The principal object is registered in the session with the method com.cc.framework.security.SecurityUtil#registerPrincipal(HttpSession, Principal). It is made available by the application developer by implementing the principal interface. In this manner, any authorization system can be very easily connected within the framework.

Authorizations are always specified in the form of an Access Control List (ACL). What is involved here is a semicolon-delimited list with individual authorizations. The framweork supports the following authorization types, which, however, can be expanded at will by the application developer:

Literal
true|false -> com.cc.framework.security.StaticPermission
Role
#rolename -> com.cc.framework.security.RoleBasedPermission
Function
$functionname -> com.cc.framework.security.FunctionBasedPermission

 
propertyString Specifies the name of the property using which the Java-Bean is to be accessed. This is generally only necessary when the Java-Bean is associated with a Struts Form Bean.

Annotation: A valid Java identifier must be given.

 
rowsInteger Number of rows within the list.  
runatRunAt This attribute specifies whether, for the control element, Clientside JavaScript should be used, or whether the control element should work purely with Server Roundtrips.
  • server = All control element actions result in a Server Roundtrip and are processed on the server.
  • client = control element actions are carried out directly in the browser of the user. It depends on the Painter Factory used and the specific control element, how far the support for Clientside Scripting goes!
  • auto = The framework selects based on the users browser settings "client" when JavaScript is enabled and "server" when JavaScript is disabled.
 
scopeHTTPScope This attribute shows the Scope in which the Java-Bean with the actual display data can be found.
  • any = The Bean is searched for in ever Scope.
  • page = The Bean exists as a local variable in the JSP Page.
  • request = The Bean is in the HTTP-Request.
  • session = The Bean is in the HTTP-Session.
  • application = The Bean is in the Servletkontext.
 
sizeInteger Specifies the number of visible characters.  
sortOrder
  • none =
  • asc =
  • desc =
 
styleString An HTML-style can be directly specified with this attribute.

Annotation: See HTML documentation for the attribute style.

 
styleClassString The HTML-class attribute of the element can be specified with this attribute.

Annotation: See HTML documentation for the attribute class.

 
styleIdString The HTML-id attribute of the element can be specified with this attribute.

Annotation: See HTML documentation for the Attribute id.

 
tabindexInteger Tabulator Index for this element.  
tooltipString A short descriptive text that is displayed when the user moves the mouse over the element.

The character string is HTML-encoded before outputting.

 
valueString This attribute sets the initial displayed value of the field if it displays a textual or numerical value.

Annotation: See HTML documentation for the attribute value.

 
widthString Sets the width of the control element. The height may be specified in absolute or percent terms.

See the HTML documentation
