Method Detail

doBuild

protected abstract org.apache.ecs.ConcreteElement doBuild(RunData data)
                                                   throws java.lang.Exception

A subclass must override this method to build itself. Subclasses override this method to store the screen in RunData or to write the screen to the output stream referenced in RunData.

Parameters:: data - Turbine information.
Throws:: java.lang.Exception - a generic exception.

build

protected org.apache.ecs.ConcreteElement build(RunData data)
                                        throws java.lang.Exception

Subclasses can override this method to add additional functionality. This method is protected to force clients to use ScreenLoader to build a Screen.

Parameters:: data - Turbine information.
Throws:: java.lang.Exception - a generic exception.

getLayout

public java.lang.String getLayout(RunData data)

If the Layout has not been defined by the Screen then set the layout to be "DefaultLayout". The Screen object can also override this method to provide intelligent determination of the Layout to execute. You can also define that logic here as well if you want it to apply on a global scale. For example, if you wanted to allow someone to define Layout "preferences" where they could dynamically change the Layout for the entire site. The information for the request is passed in with the RunData object.

Parameters:: data - Turbine information.
Returns:: A String with the Layout.

setLayout

public void setLayout(RunData data,
                      java.lang.String layout)

Set the layout for a Screen.

Parameters:: data - Turbine information.; layout - The layout name.

prepareText

public static java.lang.String prepareText(java.lang.String s)

Deprecated. Use InputFilterUtils.prepareText(String s)
