layout
, value management, validation and
databinding for the controls it manages.
To create a DynamicForm, create several FormItem
s and pass them to
setItems()
. For example:
DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm(); TextItem textItem = new TextItem("userName"); SelectItem selectItem = new SelectItem("usState"); form.setItems(textItem, selectItem);The item
name
is an identifier for the item that must be unique just within
this form. It is used:
form.getValues()
form.getValue()
)
form.getItem()
setDataSource()
. In this case, FormItems are
chosen based on the data type of the field - see FormItemType
. You can override
the automatically chosen FormItem via editorType
.
When using DataSource binding, you can also add additional FormItems not specified in the DataSource, or override any properties on the automatically generated FormItems, without having to re-declare any information that comes from the DataSource. See the QuickStart Guide chapter on Data Binding for an overview.
All FormItems share a common set of properties for controlling form\n
layout
. Other properties common to all FormItems are documented on the FormItem
class, and properties specific to particular FormItems are documented on the respective
FormItems.
NOTE: For very simple forms consisting of exactly one item, you still use a DynamicForm. See the "fontSelector" form in the Toolstrip example.

and errorIconHeight
showErrorText
determines whether the text of the validation error should be displayed next to fields which have validation errors. The
attribute showTitlesWithErrorMessages
may be set to prefix error messages with the form item's title + ":"
(may be
desired if the item has showTitle
set to false).
errorOrientation
controls where the error
HTML should appear relative to form items. Therefore the combination of showErrorText
:false
and errorOrientation
:"left"
creates a compact
validation error display consisting of just an icon, to the left of the item with the error message available via a
hover (similar appearance to ListGrid validation error display).
In addition to this, showErrorStyle
determines whether fields with validation errors should have special styling applied to them. See FormItemBaseStyle
for a discussion for how error styling is calculated.

public void setValidationURL(java.lang.String validationURL)

.
The form values are available on the server as request parameters (just like a normal form submit) and also as the values of a DSRequest sent as an RPC alongside the normal submit.
The expected response to this request is a DSResponse sent via the RPC mechanism. If validation is successful, an empty response with the STATUS_SUCCESS status code is sufficient. If there are validation errors, the DSResponse should have the status set to STATUS_VALIDATION_ERROR and the errors should be set on the response via the addError()/setErrorReport() API on DSResponse.

form item
in the form, and each property value is the value held by that form item.
The form's values may contain values that are not managed by any FormItem, and these values will be preserved and
available when the form values are subsequently retrieved via DynamicForm.getValues()
.
Providing values on initialization
is equivalent to calling DynamicForm.setValues()
.
As
the user manipulates form items to change values, change events fire on the items
and on the form as a whole
.
Note that form values are
logical values, for example, the value of a DateItem
is a JavaScript
Date object, not a String, even if the user enters the date via a text input. Likewise the value of a TextItem
or CheckboxItem
that
started out null remains null until the user changes it; the value will not be automatically converted to the null
string ("") or false respectively, as happens with native HTML elements.
If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized:
Replaces the current values of the entire form with the values passed in.
Note: when working with a form that is saving to a DataSource, you would typically call either DynamicForm.editRecord()
for an existing record, or DynamicForm.editNewRecord()
for a new record. In addition to setting the current values of the form, these APIs establish the operationType
used to save ("update" vs "add").
Values should be provided as an Object containing the new values as properties, where each propertyName is the name of a form item
in the form, and each property value is the value to apply to that form item via FormItem.setValue()
.
Values with no corresponding form item may also be passed, will be tracked by the form and returned by subsequent calls to DynamicForm.getValues()
.
Any FormItem
for which a value is not provided will revert to its defaultValue
. To cause all FormItems to revert to default values, pass null.
This method also calls DynamicForm.rememberValues()
so that a subsequent later call to DynamicForm.resetValues()
will revert to the passed values.

public boolean validate(boolean validateHiddenFields)
For databound forms, any DataSource
field validators will be run even if there is no associated item in the form.
Validators will also be run on hidden form items. In both these cases, validation failure can be handled via DynamicForm.hiddenValidationErrors()
.
If this form has any fields which require server-side validation (see Validator.serverCondition
) this will also be initialized.
Such validation will occur asynchronously. Developers can use DynamicForm.isPendingAsyncValidation()
and DynamicForm.asyncValidationReply()
to
detect and respond to asynchronous validation.
Note that for silent validation, DynamicForm.valuesAreValid()
(client-side) and DynamicForm.checkForValidationErrors()
(client
and server-side) can be used instead.

validateData()
can be used to check for errors in server-side validators without showing such errors to
the user. Errors, if any, can be discovered by looking at the DSResponse
object returned in the callback.
validateData()
will first call DynamicForm.validate()
to check for client-side errors, and will return false
without contacting the
server if errors are present. In this case, any errors detected client-side will be displayed; to avoid this and purely
perform silent, server-side validation, you can use DataSource.validateData()
with the form's current
values
. DynamicForm.valuesAreValid()
can be used in
lieu of a call to DynamicForm.validate()
if silent
checking of client-side errors is also desired.

useFlatFields
flag causes all simple type fields anywhere in a nested
set of DataSources to be exposed as a flat list for form binding.
useFlatFields
is typically used with imported metadata, such as
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 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.

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 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.

DataBoundComponent
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.

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.

the instance is generally an Array of Record
.ResultSet
.Tree
.
To access the ungrouped record list regardless of grouping status, use
isGrouped() ? getOriginalRecordList() : getRecordList()

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,
