Constructor Detail

AjaxRequestAttributes

public AjaxRequestAttributes()

Method Detail

getChildSelector

public CharSequence getChildSelector()

Returns:

The selector string that filters the descendants

See Also:

childSelector

setChildSelector

public void setChildSelector(CharSequence childSelector)

Parameters:

childSelector - The selector string that filters the descendants

See Also:

childSelector

isMultipart

public boolean isMultipart()

Returns whether the form submit is multipart.

Note that for multipart AJAX requests a hidden IFRAME will be used and that can have negative impact on error detection.

Returns:

true if the form submit should be multipart, false otherwise

setMultipart

public AjaxRequestAttributes setMultipart(boolean multipart)

Determines whether the form submit is multipart.

Note that for multipart AJAX requests a hidden IFRAME will be used and that can have negative impact on error detection.

Parameters:

multipart -

Returns:

this object

getMethod

public AjaxRequestAttributes.Method getMethod()

Returns the type of the Ajax request: GET or POST.

For a POSTrequest all URL arguments are submitted as body. This can be useful if the URL parameters are longer than maximal URL length.

Returns:

the type of the Ajax request. Default: AjaxRequestAttributes.Method.GET

setMethod

public AjaxRequestAttributes setMethod(AjaxRequestAttributes.Method method)

Sets the type of the Ajax request: GET or POST.

For a POSTrequest all URL arguments are submitted as body. This can be useful if the URL parameters are longer than maximal URL length.

Parameters:

method - the type of the Ajax request

Returns:

this object for chaining

getRequestTimeout

public Duration getRequestTimeout()

Returns the timeout in milliseconds for the AJAX request. This only involves the actual communication and not the processing afterwards. Can be null in which case the default request timeout will be used.

Returns:

request timeout or null for default timeout. Default: no timeout.

setRequestTimeout

public AjaxRequestAttributes setRequestTimeout(Duration requestTimeout)

Sets the timeout in milliseconds for the AJAX request. This only involves the actual communication and not the processing afterwards. Can be null in which case the default request timeout will be used.

Parameters:

requestTimeout -

Returns:

this object

getAjaxCallListeners

public List<IAjaxCallListener> getAjaxCallListeners()

Returns:

a list of IAjaxCallListeners which will be notified during the the execution of the Ajax call.

getExtraParameters

public Map<String,Object> getExtraParameters()

Map that contains additional (static) URL parameters. These will be appended to the request URL. If you need more than one value for a key then use a java.util.List or an Object[] as a value of that key.

Returns:

a map with additional URL arguments

See Also:

getDynamicExtraParameters()

getDynamicExtraParameters

public List<CharSequence> getDynamicExtraParameters()

Array of JavaScript functions that produce additional URL arguments.

If there are no multivalued parameters then the function can return a simple JavaScript object. Example:

  return {
      'param1': document.body.tagName,
      'param2': calculateParam2()
  }
 

If there are multivalued parameters then an array of objects may be used. Example:

  return [
      { name: 'param1', value: document.body.tagName },
      { name: 'param1', value: calculateSecondValueForParam1() },
      { name: 'param2', value: calculateParam2() }
  ]
 
 

Returns:

a list of functions that produce additional URL arguments.

See Also:

getExtraParameters()

isPreventDefault

public boolean isPreventDefault()

Only applies for event behaviors. Returns whether the behavior should prevent the default event handler to be invoked. For example if the behavior is attached to a link and isPreventDefault() returns true, the link's URL will not be followed. If the Ajax behavior is attached to a checkbox or a radio button then the default behavior should be allowed to actually check the box or radio button, i.e. this method should return false.

Returns:

false if the default event handler should be invoked

setPreventDefault

public AjaxRequestAttributes setPreventDefault(boolean preventDefault)

Only applies for event behaviors. Determines whether the behavior should prevent the default event handler to be invoked.

Parameters:

preventDefault -

Returns:

this object for chaining

See Also:

isPreventDefault(), isPreventDefault()

getEventPropagation

public AjaxRequestAttributes.EventPropagation getEventPropagation()

Only applies for event behaviors. Returns whether the behavior should allow the JavaScript event to propagate to the parent of its target.

setEventPropagation

public AjaxRequestAttributes setEventPropagation(AjaxRequestAttributes.EventPropagation eventPropagation)

Only applies to event behaviors. Determines whether the behavior should allow the JavaScript event to propagate to the parent of its target.

Parameters:

eventPropagation - the type of the stop

Returns:

this object, for chaining
