Dialog Box Customization

[techie_blog]

Hi folks,
I have a quick question on creation of dialog boxes in Maximo. I was doing an R&D on the status change dialog box of the Workorder.

I see a property called "Relationship" in the dialog box corresponding to "LIST_STATUS". The relationship property is assigned to a relationship called "WOChangeStatus". WOChangeStatus is in turn a non - persistent object and an instance and set level classes (WOChangeStatusSet and WOChangeStatus) are created under psdi\app\workorder\virtual. In addition there is a beanclass which is attached to the dialog tag. The bean class corresponds to psdi.webclient.beans.workorder.WOChangeStatusBean. The bean class has the execute() method which is overridden. I eliminated the bean class from the dialog tag (reloaded the XML and restarted the server). Now, when I tried to change the status, the functionality still continued to work. My question is whats the use of WOChangeStatusBean class. If I do not specify the WOChangeStatusBean class, is the DataBean called by default. If the DataBean is called by default, I persume it takes care of calling the appropritate WOChangeStatus class file to perform the required funcitonality.

Kindly pour in your thoughts on the same!!

Hi,

WOChangeStatusBean class is checking for the status of the workorder. This class extends the ChangeStatusBean class. When the workorder is changed the WOChangeStatusBean will check if it can allow the status to change or not. So this is specific to workorder.  Did you check if you are allowed to change the status from any status to other..? This might not be the case if you have WOChangeStatusBean class.. This is just my thought. If you find any other reason then do post it here.

Hi!

Can anyone tell me what method is called to close the dialog when I click on OK button? I set instead of "dialogok" event my method name. And also, my bean inhertis DataBean.

Thanks in advance!

if I'm not wrong, execute() is the method called by the closing of a dialog.... at least in v7.1

Well. I agree that execute method does main job in dialog, but it has the same result as returning 1 or EVENT_CONTINUE value in custom method. I made a mistake about something else. I set mxevent="method_name", but to close dialog on OK button mxevent should be "dialogok", and  value attribute for button should be set to method name:

<pushbutton default="true" id="butt_id" label="OK" mxevent="dialogok" value="method_name"/>
