Interface Editor<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of object the editor displays.
    All Known Subinterfaces:
    CompositeEditor<T,​C,​E>, HasEditorDelegate<T>, HasEditorErrors<T>, HasRequestContext<T>, LeafValueEditor<T>, ValueAwareEditor<T>
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    FakeLeafValueEditor, HasDataEditor, HasTextEditor, ListEditor, OptionalFieldEditor, SimpleEditor, TakesValueEditor, ValueBoxEditor, ValueBoxEditorDecorator
    public interface Editor<T>
    Describes an editor whose behavior is not altered by the value being displayed.

    Editors, which may be classes or interfaces, may expose their sub-editors in one or more of the following ways:

    • An instance field with at least package visibility whose name exactly is the property that will be edited or propertyNameEditor.
    • A no-arg method with at least package visibility whose name exactly is the property that will be edited or propertyNameEditor.
    • The Editor.Path annotation may be used on the field or accessor method to specify a dotted path or to bypass the implicit naming convention.
    • Sub-Editors may be null. In this case, the Editor framework will ignore these sub-editors.
    Any exposed field or method whose type is Editor may also use the IsEditor interface to provide an Editor instance. This allows view objects to be written that can be attached to an Editor hierarchy without the view directly implementing an Editor interface.
