Advanced dynamic select box

In many cases, the previous solution with static options is not good enough and one would like to have the select box checked dynamically. That is what eXo Platform provide thanks to the introduction of a Groovy script as shown in the code fragment below.



String[] args = ["jcrPath=/node/exodestWorkspace", "script=ecm-explorer/widget/FillSelectBoxWithWorkspaces:groovy", "scriptParams=production"];

uicomponent.addSelectBoxField("destWorkspace", args) ;

The script itself implements the CMS Script interface and the cast is done to get the select box object as shown in the script code which fills the select box with the existing JCR workspaces.



import java.util.List ;

import java.util.ArrayList ;


import org.exoplatform.services.jcr.RepositoryService;

import org.exoplatform.services.jcr.core.ManageableRepository;


import org.exoplatform.webui.form.UIFormSelectBox;

import org.exoplatform.webui.core.model.SelectItemOption;

import org.exoplatform.services.cms.scripts.CmsScript;


public class FillSelectBoxWithWorkspaces implements CmsScript {


  private RepositoryService repositoryService_;


  public FillSelectBoxWithWorkspaces(RepositoryService repositoryService) {

    repositoryService_ = repositoryService;

  }


  public void execute(Object context) {

    UIFormSelectBox selectBox = (UIFormSelectBox) context;


    ManageableRepository jcrRepository = repositoryService_.getRepository();

    List options = new ArrayList();

    String[] workspaceNames = jcrRepository.getWorkspaceNames();

    for(name in workspaceNames) {

      options.add(new SelectItem(name, name));

    }

    selectBox.setOptions(options);

  }


  public void setParams(String[] params) {

  }

}

Note

It is also possible to provide a parameter to the script by using the argument "scriptParams".
