Class StateManager

java.lang.Object

org.mmbase.module.gui.html.StateManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

CommandHandlerInterface

public class StateManager
extends Object
implements CommandHandlerInterface

The StateManager class maintains a list of EditStates for users logged on to MMBase through SCAN. It provides the states so a user can browse the SCAN editors and edit objects, letting the server remember the change history. Changes to the state are made either by calling a replace ($MOD) command, or by processing parameters passed to a SCAN page. State info (such as the current editnode number) can be retrieved using $MOD.

Field Detail

mmBase

public MMBase mmBase

Reference to the MMBase module.

editStates

Hashtable<String,EditState> editStates

Username to EditState mappings. Each user has an editstate, stored in the statemanager.

Scope:

private

Constructor Detail

StateManager

public StateManager(MMBase mmBase)

Initialises the StateManager, by creating a new (empty) map of editstates.

Parameters:

mmBase - reference to the MMBase module

Method Detail

initUserStates

public void initUserStates()

Loads all previously persistified editstates from the database.

Deprecated-now:

removed per 1.7, does not do anything, and is never called

getEditState

public EditState getEditState(String user)

Retrieves the EditState for a user, or creates a new one if the user did not yet have an EditState assigned. The EditState contains status information for a specific user (which node is being edited, for instance). EditStates are associated by username. They are kept in memory as long as teh StateManager is.

Parameters:

user - the user for which to retrieve an EditState object

Returns:

the EditState objevt associated with this user

replace

public String replace(PageInfo sp,
                      StringTokenizer commands)

Handle a $MOD command. This generally replaces the command in the SCAN page with the value returned by the command.
Commands include:

• SETBUILDER-buildername[-joinnode]: Adds a new node of the specified builder type to the user's stack of working objects, and makes it current. If 'joinnode' is specified, the JOINNODE variable is set to this value
• GETBUILDER : lists the type of the current working object.
• DELBUILDER : drop the current working object. If the stack of working objects is not empty, the top object becomes current.
• CLEARBUILDERS : drop all working objects
• ADDRELATION : obsolete
• SETHTMLVALUE-name-value : sets teh value fo teh variable 'name' to 'value'
• GETHTMLVALUE-name : returns the value of the variable 'name'
• SETEDITNODE : ???
• GETEDITNODE : ???
• GETEDITSRCDUTCHNAME : ???
• GETEDITDSTDUTCHNAME : ???
• GETEDITSRCNAME : ???
• GETEDITDSTNAME : ???
• GETEDITSRCNODE : ???
• GETEDITDSTNODE : ???
• GETEDITSRCGUIINDICATOR : ???
• GETEDITDSTGUIINDICATOR : ???
• NEWNODE : ???
• NEWINSNODE-sourcenr-destinationnr-role : Creates a relation object node using the specified parameters and makes it current
• REMOVENODE : ???
• REMOVEEDITOR : ???
• ISCHANGED : ???

Specified by:

replace in interface CommandHandlerInterface

newInsNode

boolean newInsNode(EditState ed,
                   String userName,
                   StringTokenizer tok)

Creates a new Node, depending on the builder name (or relation name) specified in the StringTokenizer. This method is used to create relation nodes

Parameters:

ed - Editstate in which to add the new node.

userName - User who becomes owner of the new node

tok - Tokens used to configure the node. The next three tokens should be:

• The number of the node to link FROM
• The number of the node to link TO
• The name of the builder to use or relation to add (determines type of node and/or relation)

Returns:

Always true. If the addition was successful, a new node has been added to the EditState object.

setSearchValues

boolean setSearchValues(EditState ed,
                        Hashtable vars)

setSearchVals
