[opencms-dev] getFieldMethods

[Stephan Hartmann]

You don`t need that. 
When you edit a content definition it will be instantiated by calling the constructor that gets a CmsObject and an Integer id. You can store this CmsObject in a member variable which you can reference from your getter.
For lists it is up to you. Your filter method that returns the vector of content definitions can accept a CmsObject. For that you should use a constructor that gets a CmsObject and all the fields of your content definition.

  Is it possible to pass the cms object to a getXXX method ???

   

  Eg.

   

  Can I use something like this

   

  methods.addElement(AlbumContentDefinition.class.getMethod("getNumberOfImages", new Class[] {CmsObject.class} ));

   

  if so . how do I let the backoffice template to call the method with it's cms object ? . I have a getter that requires use of the vfs, ie. it dynamically works out the number of files in a folder in the VFS . hence why I need a way to pass the cms object so I can then use

   

  cms.getResourcesInFolder(getImageLocation()).size();

   

  within the getter.

   

  Does this make sense ? if so, how do I implement it ?

   

  Many thanks in advance,

   

   

  mark
