Class AbstractDataController

java.lang.Object
org.imixs.workflow.faces.data.AbstractDataController
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
DocumentController, WorkflowController
public abstract class AbstractDataController extends Object implements Serializable
This is the abstract base class for the CDI beans DocumentController and WorkflowController.

To load a document the methods load(id) and onLoad() can be used. The method load expects the uniqueId of a document to be loaded. The onLoad() method extracts the uniqueid from the query parameter 'id'. This is the recommended way to support bookmarkable URLs. To load a document the onLoad method can be triggered by an jsf viewAction placed in the header of a JSF page: 

 
    <f:metadata>
      <f:viewAction action="... documentController.onLoad()" />
    </f:metadata>

A bookmarkable URL looks like this:

/myForm.xthml?id=[UNIQUEID]

In combination with the viewAction the DocumentController is automatically initialized.
