Widget with selector

One of the most advanced functionalities of this syntax is the ability to plug your own component that shows an interface, enabling you to select the value of the field.

In the generated form, you will see an icon which is configurable thanks to the selectorIcon argument. The syntax is a bit more complex but not much.



String[] groupArgs = ["jcrPath=/node/exogroup", "selectorClass=org:exoplatform:ecm:webui:selector:UIGroupMemberSelector"];

uicomponent.addActionField("group", groupArgs);

You can plug your own component using the selectorClass argument. It must follow the eXo UIComponent mechanism and implements the interface ComponentSelector:



package org.exoplatform.ecm.webui.selector;


import org.exoplatform.webui.core.UIComponent;

public interface ComponentSelector {

  public UIComponent getSourceComponent() ;

  public void setSourceComponent(UIComponent uicomponent, String[] initParams) ;    

}
