JSF Coding The TaskList Backing Bean

Coding The TaskList Backing Bean

• Creating "TaskListBean.java" file in "tool/src/java/org/sakaiproject/tool/tasklist/jsf"
  • Navigate to "tool/src/java/org/sakaiproject/tool/tasklist/jsf"
  • Select jsf and right click and select New and then Class
  • In the "New Java Class" editor enter "TaskListBean" in the "Name" field
  • Click on Finish
• This will create the following TaskListBean.java skeleton

  • package org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist.jsf;
    
    public class TaskListBean {
    
    }
    

• Adding IoC setters and support to show the user's display name

  package org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist.jsf;
  
  import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
  import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
  import org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist.api.TaskListService;
  
  public class TaskListBean {
  
  	// use commons logger
  	private final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass());
  
  	private TaskListService taskListService;
  	private String currentUserDisplayName;
  	
  	// Constructor
  	public TaskListBean() {
  		log.debug("Constructor");
  	}
  
  	// IoC
  	public void setTaskListService(TaskListService taskListService) {
  		log.debug("setTaskListService");
  		this.taskListService = taskListService;
  		currentUserDisplayName = taskListService.getCurrentUserDisplayName(); 
  	}
  
  	public String getCurrentUserDisplayName() {
  		return currentUserDisplayName;
  	}
  
  	public void setCurrentUserDisplayName(String currentUserDisplayName) {
  		this.currentUserDisplayName = currentUserDisplayName;
  	}
  }
