ViewTypeService (Rice KRAD Web Framework 2.1.16 API)

```
public interface ViewTypeService
```
Provides methods handing View instance of certain types
The type service is invoked to handle type parameters that can be used for additional indexing of views and retrieval.

As the view dictionary entries are indexed the associated view type will be retrieved and if there is an associated ViewTypeService it will be invoked to provide parameter information for further indexing. This is useful to index a view based on other properties, like a class name.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`Map<String,String>`	`getParametersFromRequest(Map<String,String> requestParameters)` Pulls entries from the given map that are supported parameters for the view type.
`Map<String,String>`	`getParametersFromViewConfiguration(org.springframework.beans.PropertyValues propertyValues)` Pulls values for the supported parameters from the views configured property values.

  - getViewTypeName
```
UifConstants.ViewType getViewTypeName()
```
    Gives the view type name that is supported by the type service
    The name is used to associated a type (and thus a view type service) with a view instance through the view type name property. Thus must be unique among all view types implemented
    
    Returns:
    
    ViewType view type name
  - getParametersFromViewConfiguration
```
Map<String,String> getParametersFromViewConfiguration(org.springframework.beans.PropertyValues propertyValues)
```
    Pulls values for the supported parameters from the views configured property values. These name/value pairs are used to index the view for later retrieval
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyValues - - property values configured on the view bean definition
    
    Returns:
    
    Map of parameters where map key is the parameter name, and the map value is the parameter value
  - getParametersFromRequest
```
Map<String,String> getParametersFromRequest(Map<String,String> requestParameters)
```
    Pulls entries from the given map that are supported parameters for the view type. In addition, defaults can be set or additional parameters set as needed. Used by the ViewService to retrieve a View instance based on the incoming request parameters
    
    Parameters:
    
    requestParameters - - Map of request parameters to pull view type parameters from
    
    Returns:
    
    Map of parameters where map key is the parameter name, and the map value is the parameter value
