@Face Annotation

Face annotation provides rendering hints such as EJS (Embedded Java Script) template or Face class.

Options

• ejsPath is the relative url path for accessing EJS template (.ejs)

    @Face(
    		ejsPath="dwr/metaworks/org/uengine/codi/mw3/model/IWorkItem.ejs",
    		ejsPathForArray="dwr/metaworks/org/uengine/codi/mw3/model/IWorkItem_array.ejs",
    		ejsPathMappingByContext=
    	{
    		"{when: 'new', face: 'dwr/metaworks/org/uengine/codi/mw3/model/IWorkItem_edit.ejs'}",
    		"{when: 'edit', face: 'dwr/metaworks/org/uengine/codi/mw3/model/IWorkItem_edit.ejs'}",
    	}		
    
    )
  

• faceClass is UI class for rendering this object. The prototype of face class is org.metaworks.Face interface:

    package org.metaworks;
  
    public interface Face<T> {
  
    	public void setValueToFace(T value);
  
    	public T createValueFromFace();
  
    }
  

Special EJS Paths and Face Classes

• dwr/metaworks/genericfaces/CleanObjectFace will render the object fields without the labels and title.

• Face.class will override the Face class options to empty.

• AllChildFacesAreIgnored.class will ignore Face options for all the child elements from the specified point

    public class ObjectInstance implements Serializable, ContextAware, BeanPropertyResolver {
    
        ClassDefinition classDefinition;
        @Face(faceClass = AllChildFacesAreIgnored.class)     
            public ClassDefinition getClassDefinition() {
                return classDefinition;
            }
            public void setClassDefinition(ClassDefinition classDefinition) {
                this.classDefinition = classDefinition;
            }
    
    }
