groovy screen widget

[Varun Bhansaly]

Hi,
I am using ofbiz 09.04, facing an issue with groovy & screen widget.
my screen widget action contains -
<set field="*andCondition*" value="*${groovy: return
org.ofbiz.entity.condition.EntityCondition.makeCondition("isVirtual", "Y")}*
" />
In my groovy script *andCondition *is an instanceof *String* (isVirtual = Y)
instead of *EntityCondition*.

*What could be possibly wrong, am i missing something ?
*

What are there asterisks everywhere in your code?
Why aren't you just creating the condition in groovy?

Hi Atul,
Thanks for ur reply.
I had already tried that with type = "Object", it still does not work, still
seen as instanceof String.

Hi Scott,
There are no asterisks, for the post i had replaced &quot; with ".

Hi Scott,
I have already put the groovy part in a .groovy file, though just wanted to
know if i had missed something.
Thanks again.

Hi Varun,

But I don't understand why you don't just create the entity condition in the groovy file:
isVirtualCondition = org.ofbiz.entity.condition.EntityCondition.makeCondition("isVirtual", "Y")

Why try and create a condition in the screen widget when it is easier to do it in the groovy file itself?

Scott

Hi Varun,

What you had wanted to do will work if you are using 10.04.
So coding it in groovy file is the right approach when using 9.04

James

I would argue that using groovy is the right approach regardless of the version.  Screen actions are intended to speed up simple tasks, they are not a substitute for actual scripting.  Especially when you consider that whenever you try and do something complicated with them you end up spending more time debugging than if you had just put your logic in a script in the first place.

Scott

Hi Scott,

I agree. In my special case, I was backporting the ajax lookup code from 10.04 to 9.04, and encountered the problem where the "set field" function gives a String instead of the EntityCondition object. So if I were to use the makeCondition function, many extra groovy files will be created.

James

Hi James,

Did you succeed with this backporting?
If yes you might coinsider to contribute a patch even if it will not be commited (only bugs)
I'm quite sure a number of persons would appreciate...

Thanks

Hi Jacques,

I am sorry that I couldn't get the time for making a patch.

Those interested may want to start looking at htmlTemplate.ftl and trace from there.

James

Hi James,
This is exactly the same reason why i posted this in first place wen i was
