Interface definition for a filter which is called before and after a form is generated and persisted.

Method Summary
void	afterGenerate(ItemType item, List<String> fields, List<String> forcedFields, org.alfresco.repo.forms.Form form, Map<String,Object> context) Callback used to indicate that a form has just been generated for the given items and fields.
void	afterPersist(ItemType item, org.alfresco.repo.forms.FormData data, PersistType persistedObject) Callback used to indicate that the given form data was just persisted for the item and the given persistedObject was created or modified.
void	beforeGenerate(ItemType item, List<String> fields, List<String> forcedFields, org.alfresco.repo.forms.Form form, Map<String,Object> context) Callback used to indicate that a form is about to be generated for the given items and fields.
void	beforePersist(ItemType item, org.alfresco.repo.forms.FormData data) Callback used to indicate that the given form data is about to be persisted for the given item.
boolean	isActive() Determines whether the filter is active

Determines whether the filter is active

true if the filter is active

void beforeGenerate(ItemType item,
                    List<String> fields,
                    List<String> forcedFields,
                    org.alfresco.repo.forms.Form form,
                    Map<String,Object> context)

Callback used to indicate that a form is about to be generated for the given items and fields.

NOTE: Filters all relating to the same type of form can cast the Object to a more appropriate object, for example all the Node based handlers can expect a NodeRef object and therefore cast to that.

item - The item to generate a Form for

fields - Restricted list of fields to include

forcedFields - List of fields to forcibly include

form - The Form object

context - Map representing optional context that can be used during retrieval of the form

void afterGenerate(ItemType item,
                   List<String> fields,
                   List<String> forcedFields,
                   org.alfresco.repo.forms.Form form,
                   Map<String,Object> context)

Callback used to indicate that a form has just been generated for the given items and fields.

NOTE: Filters all relating to the same type of form can cast the Object to a more appropriate object, for example all the Node based handlers can expect a NodeRef object and therefore cast to that.

item - The item to generate a Form for

fields - Restricted list of fields to include

forcedFields - List of fields to forcibly include

form - The Form object

context - Map representing optional context that can be used during retrieval of the form

void beforePersist(ItemType item,
org.alfresco.repo.forms.FormData data)

Callback used to indicate that the given form data is about to be persisted for the given item.

NOTE: Filters all relating to the same type of form can cast the item Object to a more appropriate object, for example all the Node based handlers can expect a NodeRef object and therefore cast to that.

item - The item to persist the form data for

data - The form data

void afterPersist(ItemType item,
org.alfresco.repo.forms.FormData data,
PersistType persistedObject)

Callback used to indicate that the given form data was just persisted for the item and the given persistedObject was created or modified.

NOTE: Filters all relating to the same type of form can cast the item and persistedObject Objects to a more appropriate object, for example all the Node based handlers can expect a NodeRef object and therefore cast to that.

item - The item to persist the form data for

data - The form data

persistedObject - The object created or modified as a result of the form persistence
