All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint, Describable<UserProperty>, ReconfigurableDescribable<UserProperty>

@ExportedBean
public abstract class UserProperty
extends Object
implements ReconfigurableDescribable<UserProperty>, ExtensionPoint

Extensible property of User.

Plugins can extend this to define custom properties for Users. UserPropertys show up in the user configuration screen, and they are persisted with the user object.

Configuration screen should be defined in config.jelly. Within this page, the UserProperty instance is available as instance variable (while it refers to User. See UserSearchProperty's config.jelly for an example.

A property may also define a summary.jelly view to show in the main user screen.

Field Detail

user

protected transient User user

The user object that owns this property. This value will be set by the Hudson code. Derived classes can expect this value to be always set.

Method Detail

setUser

protected void setUser(User u)

getDescriptor

public UserPropertyDescriptor getDescriptor()

Description copied from interface: Describable

Gets the descriptor for this instance.

Descriptor is a singleton for every concrete Describable implementation, so if a.getClass() == b.getClass() then by default a.getDescriptor() == b.getDescriptor() as well. (In rare cases a single implementation class may be used for instances with distinct descriptors.)

Specified by:

getDescriptor in interface Describable<UserProperty>

all

public static DescriptorExtensionList<UserProperty,UserPropertyDescriptor> all()

Returns all the registered UserPropertyDescriptors.

reconfigure

public UserProperty reconfigure(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest req,
                                net.sf.json.JSONObject form)
                         throws Descriptor.FormException

Description copied from interface: ReconfigurableDescribable

When a parent/owner object of a Describable gets a config form submission and instances are recreated, this method is invoked on the existing instance (meaning the 'this' reference points to the existing instance) to create a new instance to be added to the parent/owner object.

The default implementation of this should be the following:

 return form==null ? null : getDescriptor().newInstance(req, form);
 

Specified by:

reconfigure in interface ReconfigurableDescribable<UserProperty>

Parameters:

req - The current HTTP request being processed.

form - JSON fragment that corresponds to this describable object. If the newly submitted form doesn't include a fragment for this describable (meaning the user has de-selected your descriptor), then this argument is null.

Returns:

The new instance. To not to create an instance of a describable, return null.

Throws:

Descriptor.FormException
