  • Constructor Details

      protected UserPropertyDescriptor(Class<? extends UserProperty> clazz)
    • UserPropertyDescriptor

      protected UserPropertyDescriptor()
      Infers the type of the corresponding Describable from the outer class. This version works when you follow the common convention, where a descriptor is written as the static nested class of the describable class.

  • Method Details

    • newInstance

      public abstract UserProperty newInstance(User user)
      Creates a default instance of UserProperty to be associated with User object that wasn't created from a persisted XML data.

      See User class javadoc for more details about the life cycle of User and when this method is invoked.

      Returns:
      null if the implementation choose not to add any property object for such user.
    • isEnabled

      public boolean isEnabled()
      Whether or not the described property is enabled in the current context. Defaults to true. Over-ride in sub-classes as required.

      Returning false from this method essentially has the same effect of making Hudson behaves as if this UserPropertyDescriptor is not a part of UserProperty.all().

      This mechanism is useful if the availability of the property is contingent of some other settings.
