public class AjaxEditableLabel
extends org.apache.wicket.markup.html.panel.Panel

An implementation of ajaxified edit-in-place component using a TextField as it's editor.

There are several methods that can be overridden for customization.

• onEdit(AjaxRequestTarget) is called when the label is clicked and the editor is to be displayed. The default implementation switches the label for the editor and places the caret at the end of the text.
• onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget) is called when in edit mode, the user submitted new content, that content validated well, and the model value successfully updated. This implementation also clears any window.status set.
• onError(AjaxRequestTarget) is called when in edit mode, the user submitted new content, but that content did not validate. Get the current input by calling FormComponent.getInput() on getEditor(), and the error message by calling:

   String errorMessage = editor.getFeedbackMessage().getMessage();
   

  The default implementation of this method displays the error message in window.status, redisplays the editor, selects the editor's content and sets the focus on it.
• onCancel(AjaxRequestTarget) is called when in edit mode, the user choose not to submit the contents (he/she pressed escape). The default implementation displays the label again without any further action.

Constructor Detail

AjaxEditableLabel

public AjaxEditableLabel(java.lang.String id)

Constructor

Parameters:

id -

AjaxEditableLabel

public AjaxEditableLabel(java.lang.String id,
                         org.apache.wicket.model.IModel model)

Constructor

Parameters:

id -

model -

Method Detail

add

public final AjaxEditableLabel add(org.apache.wicket.validation.IValidator validator)

Adds a validator to this form component. A model must be available for this component before Validators can be added. Either add this Component to its parent (already having a Model), or provide one before this call via constructor AjaxEditableLabel(String,IModel) or setModel(IModel).

Parameters:

validator - The validator

Returns:

This

getConverter

public org.apache.wicket.util.convert.IConverter getConverter(java.lang.Class type)

Implementation that returns null by default (panels don't typically need converters anyway). This is used by the embedded default instances of label and form field to determine whether they should use a converter like they normally would (when this method returns null), or whether they should use a custom converter (when this method is overridden and returns not null).

Specified by:

getConverter in interface org.apache.wicket.IConverterLocator

Overrides:

getConverter in class org.apache.wicket.Component

See Also:

Component.getConverter(java.lang.Class)

setLabel

public final AjaxEditableLabel setLabel(org.apache.wicket.model.IModel labelModel)

The value will be made available to the validator property by means of ${label}. It does not have any specific meaning to FormComponent itself.

Parameters:

labelModel -

Returns:

this for chaining

setModel

public final org.apache.wicket.Component setModel(org.apache.wicket.model.IModel model)

Overrides:

setModel in class org.apache.wicket.MarkupContainer

See Also:

MarkupContainer.setModel(org.apache.wicket.model.IModel)

setRequired

public final AjaxEditableLabel setRequired(boolean required)

Sets the required flag

Parameters:

required -

Returns:

this for chaining

setType

public final AjaxEditableLabel setType(java.lang.Class type)

Sets the type that will be used when updating the model for this component. If no type is specified String type is assumed.

Parameters:

type -

Returns:

this for chaining

newEditor

protected org.apache.wicket.markup.html.form.FormComponent newEditor(org.apache.wicket.MarkupContainer parent,
                                                                     java.lang.String componentId,
                                                                     org.apache.wicket.model.IModel model)

Create a new form component instance to serve as editor.

Parameters:

parent - The parent component

componentId - Id that should be used by the component

model - The model

Returns:

The editor

newLabel

protected org.apache.wicket.Component newLabel(org.apache.wicket.MarkupContainer parent,
                                               java.lang.String componentId,
                                               org.apache.wicket.model.IModel model)

Create a new form component instance to serve as label.

Parameters:

parent - The parent component

componentId - Id that should be used by the component

model - The model

Returns:

The editor

getLabelAjaxEvent

protected java.lang.String getLabelAjaxEvent()

By default this returns "onclick" uses can overwrite this on which event the label behavior should be triggered

Returns:

The event name

getEditor

protected final org.apache.wicket.markup.html.form.FormComponent getEditor()

Gets the editor component.

Returns:

The editor component

getLabel

protected final org.apache.wicket.Component getLabel()

Gets the label component.

Returns:

The label component

onBeforeRender

protected void onBeforeRender()

Overrides:

onBeforeRender in class org.apache.wicket.Component

See Also:

Component.onBeforeRender()

onCancel

protected void onCancel(org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget target)

Invoked when the label is in edit mode, and received a cancel event. Typically, nothing should be done here.

Called when the label is clicked and the component is put in edit mode.

Parameters:

target - Ajax target

onError

Parameters:

target - the ajax request target

onSubmit

protected void onSubmit(org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget target)

Invoked when the editor was successfully updated. Use this method e.g. to persist the changed value. This implementation displays the label and clears any window status that might have been set in onError.

Parameters:

target - The ajax request target

defaultNullLabel

protected java.lang.String defaultNullLabel()

Override this to display a different value when the model object is null. Default is ...

Returns:

The string which should be displayed when the model object is null.
