public interface DataBoundComponent extends HasFetchDataHandlers, HasDropCompleteHandlers, HasDragCompleteHandlers
A schema (or DataSource) describes an object as consisting of a set of properties (or "fields").
DataBoundComponents have a dataSource
for dealing with binding to DataSources, fields
the schema information provided by a DataSource, and manipulating objects or sets of object from the DataSource.
The following visual components currently support databinding:
The following non-visual components also support databinding:DynamicForm

.
When a duplicate transfer is detected,
a dialog will appear showing the duplicateDragMessage
.
If the component either does not have a DataSource
or has a DataSource with no
primaryKey
declared, duplicate checking is off by
default. If duplicate checking is enabled, it looks for an existing record in the dataset
that has all of the
properties of the dragged record, and considers that a duplicate.
For DragDataAction
:"copy" where the target DataSource is related to the source
DataSource by foreignKey, a duplicate means that
the target list, as filtered by the current
criteria, already has a record whose value for the foreignKey field matches the
primaryKey of the record being
transferred.
For example, consider dragging "employees" to "teams", where "teams" has a field "teams.employeeId" which is a foreignKey pointing to "employees.id", and the target grid has search criteria causing it to show all the members of one team. A duplicate - adding an employee to the same team twice - is when the target grid's dataset contains an record with "employeeId" matching the "id" field of the dropped employee.

When a duplicate transfer is detected,
a dialog will appear showing the duplicateDragMessage

If the component either does not have a DataSource
or has a DataSource with no
primaryKey
declared, duplicate checking is off by
default. If duplicate checking is enabled, it looks for an existing record in the dataset
that has all of the
properties of the dragged record, and considers that a duplicate.
For DragDataAction
:"copy" where the target DataSource is related to the source
DataSource by foreignKey, a duplicate means that
the target list, as filtered by the current
criteria, already has a record whose value for the foreignKey field matches the
primaryKey of the record being
transferred.
For example, consider dragging "employees" to "teams", where "teams" has a field "teams.employeeId" which is a foreignKey pointing to "employees.id", and the target grid has search criteria causing it to show all the members of one team. A duplicate - adding an employee to the same team twice - is when the target grid's dataset contains an record with "employeeId" matching the "id" field of the dropped employee.

DataBoundComponent setUseFlatFields(java.lang.Boolean useFlatFields) throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
useFlatFields
flag causes all simple type fields anywhere in a nested

XMLTools.loadXMLSchema(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.XSDLoadCallback)
from a
XMLTools.loadWSDL(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WSDLLoadCallback)
, as a means of eliminating levels of XML
nesting that aren't meaningful in a user interface, without the cumbersome and fragile
process of mapping form fields to XML structures.
For example, having called WebService.getInputDS(java.lang.String)
to retrieve the input message
schema for a web service operation whose input message looks like this:
<FindServices> <searchFor>search text</searchFor> <Options> <caseSensitive>false</caseSensitive> </Options> <IncludeInSearch> <serviceName>true</serviceName> <documentation>true</documentation> <keywords>true</keywords> </IncludeInSearch> </FindServices>Setting
useFlatFields
on a DynamicForm
that is bound to this input
message schema would result in 5 FormItem
reflecting the 5 simple type
fields in the message.
For this form, the result of DynamicForm.getValues()
might look
like:
{ searchFor: "search text", caseSensitive: false, serviceName: true, documentation : true, keywords : true }When contacting a
WebService
, these values can be automatically
mapped to the structure of the input message for a web service operation by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with WebService.callOperation(java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WebServiceCallback)
) or by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with a DataSource
that is
'bound to a WSDL web service'
via
wsOperation
).
Using these two facilities in conjunction (component.useFlatFields and request.useFlatFields) allows gratuitous nesting to be consistently bypassed in both the user presentation and when providing the data for XML messages.
You can also set useFlatFields
to automatically enable
"flattened" XML serialization (request.useFlatFields) for all DataSource requests of a
particular operationType.
Note that useFlatFields
is not generally recommended for use with structures
where multiple simple type fields exist with the same name, however if used with such a
structure, the first field to use a given name wins. "first" means the first field
encountered in a depth first search. "wins" means only the first field will be present as a
field when data binding.

Note that drag/drop type transfers of records between components are asynchronous operations: Smart GWT may need to perform server turnarounds to establish whether
dropped records already exist in the target component. Therefore, it is possible to issue a call to transferSelectedData()
and/or the drop()
method of a databound component whilst a transfer is still active. When this happens, Smart GWT adds the second and subsequent transfer requests to a queue and runs
them one after the other. If you want to be notified when a transfer process has actually completed, use addDropCompleteHandler

.void fetchData()
When fetchData()
is first called, if data has not already been provided via
setData()
, this method will create a ResultSet
, which will be
configured based on component settings such as fetchOperation
and dataPageSize
, as well
as the general purpose dataProperties
. The created ResultSet will automatically send a DSRequest
to retrieve data from the dataSource, and from then on will
automatically manage paging through large datasets, as well as performing filtering and
sorting operations inside the browser when possible - see the ResultSet docs for
details.
NOTE: do not use both autoFetchData
and a
call to fetchData()
- this may result in two DSRequests to fetch data. Use
either autoFetchData
and setAutoFetchCriteria()
or a manual call to fetchData()
passing criteria.
Whether a ResultSet was automatically created or provided via setData()
, subsequent
calls to fetchData() will simply call resultSet.setCriteria()
.
Changes to criteria may or may not result in a DSRequest to the server due to
client-side filtering. You can call
willFetchData(criteria)
to determine if new criteria will
result in a server fetch.
If you need to force data to be re-fetched, you can call
invalidateCache()
and new data will
automatically be fetched from the server using the current criteria and sort direction. NOTE:
when using invalidateCache()
there is no need to also call fetchData()
and in fact this could produce unexpected results.
This method takes an optional callback parameter (set to a DSCallback
)
to fire when the fetch completes. Note that this callback will not fire if no server fetch is performed.
In this case the data is updated synchronously, so as soon as this method completes you
can interact with the new data. If necessary, you can use
resultSet.willFetchData()
to determine whether or not a server
fetch will occur when fetchData()
is called with new criteria.
In addition to the callback parameter for this method, developers can use
resultSet.addDataArrivedHandler
to be notified every time data is loaded.

invalidateCache()
method, for example,
ResultSet.invalidateCache()
.
NOTE: there is no need to call invalidateCache()
when a save operation
is performed on a DataSource. Automatic cache synchronization features will automatically
update caches - see ResultSet
for details. If automatic
cache synchronization isn't working, troubleshoot the problem using the steps suggested
in the FAQ rather than just calling invalidateCache(). Calling
invalidateCache()
unnecessarily causes extra server load and added code
complexity.
Calling invalidateCache()
will automatically cause a new
fetch to be performed with the current set of criteria if data had been previously
fetched and the component is currently drawn with data visible - there is no need to
manually call fetchData() after invalidateCache() and this could result in duplicate
fetches.
While data is being re-loaded after a call to invalidateCache()
, the widget
is in a state similar to initial data load - it doesn't know the total length of the
dataset and any APIs that act on records or row indices will necessarily fail and should
not be called. To detect that the widget is in this state, call
ResultSet.lengthIsKnown()
.
invalidateCache()
only has an effect if this component's dataset is a data
manager class that manages a cache (eg ResultSet or ResultTree). If data was provided as
a simple Array or List, invalidateCache() does nothing.

to retrieve data that matches the current filter and sort criteria for this component,
then exports the resulting data to a file or window in the requested format.
A variety of DSRequest settings, such as
exportAs
and
exportFilename
, affect the
exporting process: see
exportResults
for further
detail.
Note that data exported via this method does not include any client-side formatting and
relies on both the Smart GWT server and server-side DataSources. To export client-data
with formatters applied, see
exportClientData
,
which still requires the Smart GWT server but does not rely on server-side DataSources.
For more information on exporting data, see
DataSource.exportData
.

Java wrappers of the field class type (e.g.

This is an advanced method and only for cases where you have the JavaScriptObject for
each field but want to avoid having to create each associated SmartGWT Java wrapper.
Note: use toArray()
to create a Java
array of JavaScriptObject if you only have the array itself as a single JavaScriptObject.

void transferRecords(Record[] records, Record targetRecord, java.lang.Integer index, Canvas sourceWidget, TransferRecordsCallback callback)
Record
s from another component
(does not have to be a databound component) into this component. This method is only
applicable to list-type components, such as ListGrid
or com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tile.TileGridTileGrid
. Notably, it does not apply to
TreeGrid
; the equivalent for treeGrids is
transferNodes
.
This method implements the automatic drag-copy and drag-move behaviors of components like
ListGrid
, and calling it is equivalent to completing a drag and drop of the
dropRecords
(the default record drop behavior is simply to call
transferRecords()
, passing in the dropped nodes)
Note that this method is asynchronous - it may need to perform server turnarounds to prevent
duplicates in the target component's data. If you wish to be notified when the transfer
process has completed, you can either pass a non-null callback to this method or add a
DropCompleteHandler
to this component.

Pass in an array of SortSpecifier

and
in the directions specified. The component can be sorted by any combination of fields,
including fields specified in the fields array and
unused fields from the underlying
dataSource
, if there is one.
If setSort() is called on a component which doesn't yet have a SmartClient widget, the
widget will be created. If autoFetchData
is set and a
DataSource
has been set, this will result in data being fetched.

SavedSearches
are associated with a component via its

component with a set of saved searches. This can provide a couple of benefits:
Firstly this ensures that saved searches will be unambiguously associated with the
particular component even if the page changes such that a stored minimal locator would
no longer applied to the component, without requiring an explicit
Canvas.ID

Secondly this allows the same set of saved searches to be applied to more than one
component on a page. This may be valueable for cases where the same information from the
same dataSource is presented to users in multiple places.
