Method Detail

instantiateNewField

public boolean instantiateNewField(short fieldID)

This method provides a hook that can be used to indicate whether a field that is defined in this object's field dictionary should be newly instantiated in this particular object. This method does not affect those fields which are actually present in the object's record in the DBStore. What this method allows you to do is have a subclass decide whether it wants to instantiate a potential field (one that is declared in the field dictionary for this object, but which doesn't happen to be presently defined in this object) in this particular object. A concrete example will help here. The Permissions Object type (base number SchemaConstants.PermBase) holds a permission matrix, a descriptive title, and a list of admin personae that hold those permissions for objects they own. There are a few specific instances of SchemaConstants.PermBase that don't properly need the list of admin personae, as their object invids are hard-coded into the Ganymede security system, and their permission matrices are automatically consulted in certain situations. In order to support this, we're going to want to have a DBEditObject subclass for managing permission objects. In that subclass, we'll define instantiateNewField() so that it will return false if the fieldID corresponds to the admin personae list if the object's ID is that of one of these special objects. As a result, when the objects are viewed by an administrator, the admin personae list will not be seen.

canSeeField

public boolean canSeeField(arlut.csd.ganymede.DBSession session,
                           arlut.csd.ganymede.DBField field)

Customization method to verify whether the user should be able to see a specific field in a given object. Instances of DBField will wind up calling up to here to let us override the normal visibility process.

Note that it is permissible for session to be null, in which case this method will always return the default visiblity for the field in question.

If field is not from an object of the same base as this DBEditObject, an exception will be thrown.

To be overridden in DBEditObject subclasses.
