Interface ClientBehaviorSupport

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClientBehaviorSupportImpl

Deprecated.

Deprecated in 5.4 with no replacement. Use JavaScriptSupport directly, instead.

public interface ClientBehaviorSupport

Collects details about zone usage for efficient initialization of the client side objects. This has grown to include the client-side behavior associated with FormFragments. This interface is only kept for binary compatibility in Tapestry 5.4; the implementation no longer does anything but throw exceptions and will be removed in 5.5.

Method Detail

addZone

void addZone(String clientId,
             String showFunctionName,
             String updateFunctionName)

Deprecated.

Adds a new client-side Tapestry.Zone object. Zones are linked to a an element (typically, a <div>). A Zone may have handlers used to initially show it, or to highlight it when its content changes. Such handlers are referenced by name, as functions of the Tapestry.ElementEffect object.

Parameters:

clientId - client-side id of the element that will be updated by the zone

showFunctionName - name of the function used to initially show the zone (if not visible), or null for default

updateFunctionName - name of function used to highlight the function after an update, or null for default

linkZone

void linkZone(String linkId,
              String elementId,
              Link eventLink)

Deprecated.

Sets the client-side onclick handler for an <a> element to perform an Ajax update of a zone. Starting in Tapestry 5.4, this can be accomplished by adding a "data-update-zone" attribute to the element. The attribute value may be ^ or the id of the zone's client element.

Parameters:

linkId - id of the link to Ajax enable

elementId - id of an element that has been previously registered as a Zone

eventLink -

addFormFragment

void addFormFragment(String clientId,
                     String showFunctionName,
                     String hideFunctionName)

Deprecated. Use addFormFragment(String, boolean, String, String, String) instead

Adds a new client-side Tapestry.FormFragment object. FormFragment's are used to make parts of a client-side form visible or invisible, which involves interactions with both the server-side and client-side validation.

Parameters:

clientId - client-side id of the element that will be made visible or invisible

showFunctionName - name of function (of the Tapestry.ElementEffect object) used to make the SubForm visible, or null for the default

hideFunctionName - name of the function used to make the SubForm invisible, or null for the default

addFormFragment

void addFormFragment(String clientId,
                     boolean alwaysSubmit,
                     String showFunctionName,
                     String hideFunctionName)

Deprecated. Use addFormFragment(String, boolean, String, String, String) instead

Adds a new client-side Tapestry.FormFragment object. FormFragment's are used to make parts of a client-side form visible or invisible, which involves interactions with both the server-side and client-side validation.

Parameters:

clientId - client-side id of the element that will be made visible or invisible

alwaysSubmit - if true, the fragment ignores client-side visiblility and always submits its values

showFunctionName - name of function (of the Tapestry.ElementEffect object) used to make the SubForm visible, or null for the default

hideFunctionName - name of the function used to make the SubForm invisible, or null for the default

addFormFragment

void addFormFragment(String clientId,
                     boolean alwaysSubmit,
                     String showFunctionName,
                     String hideFunctionName,
                     String visibilityBoundFunctionName)

Deprecated. In 5.4; use the core/form-fragment module instead.

Adds a new client-side Tapestry.FormFragment object. FormFragment's are used to make parts of a client-side form visible or invisible, which involves interactions with both the server-side and client-side validation. This implementation has been removed in 5.4; it throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Parameters:

clientId - client-side id of the element that will be made visible or invisible

alwaysSubmit - if true, the fragment ignores client-side visiblility and always submits its values

showFunctionName - name of function (of the Tapestry.ElementEffect object) used to make the SubForm visible, or null for the default

hideFunctionName - name of the function used to make the SubForm invisible, or null for the default

visibilityBoundFunctionName - name of the function used to bound the isDeepVisible search, or null for the default

5.3

addFormInjector

void addFormInjector(String clientId,
                     Link link,
                     InsertPosition insertPosition,
                     String showFunctionName)

Deprecated.

Adds a new client-side Tapestry.FormInjector object. FormInjectors are used to extend an existing Form with new content.

Parameters:

clientId - client-side id of the element that identifiess where the new content will be placed

link - action request link used to trigger the server-side object, to render the new content

insertPosition - where the new content should go (above or below the element)

showFunctionName - name of function (of the Tapestry.ElementEffect object) used to make the new element visible, or null for the default

addValidation

void addValidation(Field field,
                   String validationName,
                   String message,
                   Object constraint)

Deprecated.

Collects field validation information.

Parameters:

field - for which validation is being generated

validationName - name of validation method (see Tapestry.Validation in tapestry.js)

message - the error message to display if the field is invalid

constraint - additional constraint value, or null for validations that don't require a constraint
