Creating your own Default Form Values

void setDefaultValues(String grpName, List<FormElement> formElementList);

You can create your own Default form Values.

Conditions:

• The new Default Form Values class must implement the "FormDefaultValues" interface.
• The new Default Form Values class must be declared under the package "com.openkm.plugin.form.values".
• The new Default Form Values class must be annotated with "@PluginImplementation".
• The new Default Form Values class must extend of "BasePlugin".

Default Form Values interface:

package com.openkm.plugin.form.values;

import com.openkm.bean.form.FormElement;
import net.xeoh.plugins.base.Plugin;

import java.util.List;

public interface FormDefaultValues extends Plugin {

    String getName();

    void setDefaultValues(String uuid, String grpName, List<FormElement> formElementList);
}

The new class must be loaded into the package com.openkm.plugin.form.values because the application plugins system will try to load it from there. See the sample below:

Method description

Example of the default form values implementation

package com.openkm.plugin.form.values;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

import com.openkm.bean.form.FormElement;
import com.openkm.bean.form.Input;
import com.openkm.plugin.BasePlugin;

import net.xeoh.plugins.base.annotations.PluginImplementation;

/**
 * Implementation of default form values
 */
@PluginImplementation
public class FormDefaultValuesDate extends BasePlugin implements FormDefaultValues {

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "Date Default Values";
    }

    @Override
    public void setDefaultValues(String uuid, String grpName, List<FormElement> formElementList) {
        if (grpName.equalsIgnoreCase("okg:test")) {
            for (FormElement element : formElementList) {
                if (element.getName().equals("okp:test.date")) {
                    Input input = (Input) element;
                    if (input.getValue().isEmpty()) {
                        DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
                        Date date = new Date();
                        input.setValue(dateFormat.format(date));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

}
