All,
is there anyone who has managed to find out how to go from a TypeIdentifier to an attribute that uses a Global Enumeration and also retrieve the values for that enumeration?
The closest I've gotten to a suggested solution is what is shown in this support case (CS133237) but it assumes that I have an object from which I can get the values. I would like to be able to start with only the TypeIdentifier or even better just the type id (for instance wt.part.WTPart).
Any ideas?
Regards
Daniel Södling
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for the suggestion. I couldn't get that exact method to work but it did put me on the right path and I ended up with the following. Note that this collects both global enumerations and legal value lists.
public RequestResponse handleRequest() {
logger.trace("handleRequest()");
HashMap<String, List<LocalizedValue>> result = new HashMap<>();
try {
Locale loc = SessionHelper.getLocale();
String type = request.getParameter("type");
WCTypeIdentifier wti = new WCTypeIdentifier(type);
AttributeTypeIdentifier[] attrs = TypeInstanceHelper.getSoftAttributeTypeIdentifiers(wti);
Map<AttributeTypeIdentifier, AttributeTypeSummary> summaries = AttributeTypeSummaryHelper.SERVICE.getATS(Arrays.asList(attrs), loc);
for (AttributeTypeIdentifier ati : attrs) {
logger.debug("attr: {}", ati.getAttributeName());
AttributeDefinitionReadView attrDef = TypeDefinitionServiceHelper.service.getAttributeDefView(ati);
ConstraintDefinitionReadView globalEnumConstraint = EnumerationConstraintHelper.getGlobalEnumeratedValueListConstraint(attrDef);
EnumerationDefinitionReadView enumDef = globalEnumConstraint != null ? globalEnumConstraint.getEnumDef() : null;
Map<String, EnumerationEntryReadView> entries = enumDef != null ? enumDef.getAllEnumerationEntries() : null;
DataSet ds = (DataSet) summaries.get(ati).getLegalValueSet();
ArrayList<LocalizedValue> values = new ArrayList<>();
// Collect gloal enumeration entties
if (entries != null) {
for (Map.Entry<String, EnumerationEntryReadView> entry : entries.entrySet()) {
EnumerationEntryReadView value = entry.getValue();
PropertyValueReadView display = value.getPropertyValueByName("displayName");
String localizedDisplay = display.getValueAsString(loc, true);
values.add(new LocalizedValue(entry.getKey(), localizedDisplay));
}
}
// Collect legal value list entties
if (ds != null && ds instanceof DiscreteSet) {
DiscreteSet set = (DiscreteSet) ds;
for (Object el : set.getElements()) {
String strValue = el.toString();
values.add(new LocalizedValue(strValue, strValue));
}
}
if (values.size() > 0) {
result.put(ati.getAttributeName(), values);
}
}
} catch (WTException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
return success(result);
}
Thanks again!
Hi Daniel,
Take a look on this helper: com.ptc.core.lwc.client.util.EnumerationConstraintHelper.
There is at least the method getEnumInternalAndDisplayValuesFromConstraints() that might help you.
