Interface Maintainable

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable, ViewHelperService
All Known Subinterfaces:
BulkUpdateMaintainable
All Known Implementing Classes:
BulkUpdateMaintainableImpl, MaintainableImpl
public interface Maintainable extends ViewHelperService, Serializable
Provides contract for implementing a maintenance object within the maintenance framework

Currently the Maintainable serves many purposes. First since all maintenance documents share the same document class MaintenanceDocumentBase certain document callbacks such as workflow post processing are invoked on the maintainable. Second the maintainable provides a hook for custom actions on the maintenance view. Finally since the maintainable extends ViewHelperService it is used to customize View configuration for MaintenanceDocumentView instances

      Called after the maintenance document has become final indicating the changes should be applied

    • deleteDataObject

      Called after the maintenance document has become final indicating the changes should be applied

    • doRouteStatusChange

      void doRouteStatusChange(DocumentHeader documentHeader)
      Invoked do perform custom processing when the route status for the containing maintenance document changes

      Usually used for determining when the document has become final so further actions can take place in addition to the usual persistence of the object changes

      Parameters:
      documentHeader - - document header instance for containing maintenance document which can be used to check the new status

    • getLockingDocumentId

      String getLockingDocumentId()
      Retrieves the locking document id for the maintainable which is used to create the maintenance lock string
      Returns:
      String locking id

    • getWorkflowEngineDocumentIdsToLock

      List<String> getWorkflowEngineDocumentIdsToLock()
      Return an array of document ids to lock prior to processing this document in the workflow engine
      Returns:
      List<String> list of document ids

    • useCustomLockDescriptors

      boolean useCustomLockDescriptors()
      Indicates whether or not this maintainable supports custom lock descriptors for pessimistic locking.
      Returns:
      boolean true if the maintainable can generate custom lock descriptors, false otherwise
      See Also:

    • getCustomLockDescriptor

      String getCustomLockDescriptor(Person user)
      Generates a custom lock descriptor for pessimistic locking. This method should not be called unless useCustomLockDescriptors() returns true
      Parameters:
      user - - the user trying to establish the lock
      Returns:
      String representing the lock descriptor
      See Also:
