Description

some notes:

ActionParametersForm.java

ScalarPanelAbstract2#updateIfNecessary(..) as a new hook method to be implemented everywhere

• if choices facet then update choices ... DONE ALREADY
• if default facet then recompute ... TO DO EVERYWHERE, on the getModel()
• and "sync" the value into the UI widget

1. for the existing logic that evaluates choicesX based on choices(Y<x), should also evaluate any defaultX that we see.
2. also do this for an autoCompleteX

3. new logic looking for a change in any scalar, then search for other params with a default that depend on that.

Nice to have, but will need changes to metamodel so we'll leave for now:
4. support the idea of disableX for params
5. support the idea of hideX for params

based on a change (autoComplete, choices or scalar)
... re-evaluate choices, default, disable, hide

Organisation -> BankAccount

public void doSomething(
Organisation org,
BankAccount bankAccount,
...
) {

}

public List<Organisation> autoComplete0DoSomething(String str)

{ .... }

public List<Organisation> choices0DoSomething() { .... }

public List<BankAccount> choices1DoSomething(Organisation org)

{ ... }

public BankAccount default1DoSomething(Organisation org)

{ /*return choices1DoSomething(organisation).get(0); */ }

~~~~~~~~~~

public void calc(
BigDecimal netAmount,
BigDecimal vatAmount,
BigDecimal grossAmount
...
) {

}

public BigDecimal default2Calc(BigDecimal netAmount, BigDecimal vatAmount)

{ return netAmount + vatAmount; }

//public String disable2Calc()

{ return "disabled"; }

//public boolean hide2Calc(BigDecimal netAmount, BigDecimal vatAmount)

{ return netAmount == null; }
