hudson.model.ViewProperty
All Implemented Interfaces:
ExtensionPoint, Describable<ViewProperty>, ReconfigurableDescribable<ViewProperty>
public class ViewProperty extends Object implements ReconfigurableDescribable<ViewProperty>, ExtensionPoint
Extensible property of View.

Plugins can extend this to define custom properties for Views. ViewPropertys show up in the view configuration screen, and they are persisted with the view object.

Configuration screen should be defined in config.jelly. Within this page, the ViewProperty instance is available as the instance EL variable (while the it EL variable refers to the View.

  • Field Details

    • view

      protected transient View view
      The view object that owns this property. This value will be set by the core code. Derived classes can expect this value to be always set.

  • Constructor Details

    • ViewProperty

      public ViewProperty()

  • Method Details

    • getDescriptor

      public ViewPropertyDescriptor 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<ViewProperty>

    • all

      public static DescriptorExtensionList<ViewProperty,ViewPropertyDescriptor> all()

    • reconfigure

      public ViewProperty 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<ViewProperty>
      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
