Attribute Name	Description
id	expose id, enables interaction with JavaScript (not supported by all browsers!) [RTExpValue]
dbConnectionName	indicate which dbconnection object to user. [RTExpValue]
name	the name of this dbform tag needed to reference the tag if tableName attribute is calculated at runtime
tableName	the name of the table/view referenced by the dbform not required if form is empty! [RTExpValue]
action	Override the servlet to which the dbform should be submitted Default is the org.dbforms.Controller servlet Useful when dbForms is used in read-only mode. Example: < db:dbform table="TABLE1" followUp="this.jsp" action = "/demo/servlet/com.abc.myServlet"> [RTExpValue]
readOnly	Rendering of read-only html widgets WARNING: This is not terribly secure as it becomes editable if javascript is disabled in the browser. A More secure option is not placing an update button on your form. [RTExpValue]
tableList	Allows a user to specify a list of tables to select from Used in conjuction with the whereClause attribute The value specified in the tableList attribute is used to specify the 'from' part of the Select query. Hence the name: table list. The conditions used to define the table associations are specified in the whereClause attribute.( along with other conditions and orderBy) Multiple table access is valid only for data retrieval. Insert, Update, and Delete are not supported. Example: In dbForms-config.xml: <table name="AnyName"> <field name="Table1.id" fieldType="VARCHAR2" isKey="true"/> <field name="Table2.id" fieldType="VARCHAR2" isKey="true"/> <field name="Table1.fieldName" fieldType="VARCHAR2"/> <field name="Table2.OtherField" fieldType="NUMBER"/> </table> In jsp: <db:form tableName="AnyName" maxRows="*" followUp="next.jsp" tableList="Table1,Table2" whereClause="Where Table1.id = Table2.id"> <db:header/> <db:body> <db:textField fieldName="Table1.fieldName"/> <db:textField fieldName="Table2.otherField"/> </db:body> <db:footer/> </db:form> Resulting Query: SELECT Table1.id, Table2.id,Table1.fieldName,Table2.otherField FROM Table1,Table2 WHERE Table1.id = Table2.id [RTExpValue]
searchFilterRequired	If set to true, the actual resultSet is obtained only if search filters have been specified, otherwise an empty resultset is returned. Perfect for situations where, without search filters, the resultset would be much too large. This feature validates the following: searchTag contains a value the filter attribute (dbforms tag) contains a value a filter tag is specified [RTExpValue]
maxRows	Determines how many times the body tag and its sub-elements get executed (evaluated and rendered): maxRows = n => body gets executed n times (with n elementOF N) maxRows = "*" => body gets executed for every row in the table (=> "endless" form) not required if form is empty! [RTExpValue]
whereClause	Replaces the filter attribute in situations where the whereClause is more complex. Allows a developer to specify a free form conditional clause (where Clause + order + etc). Also, the whereClause can not be used with orderBy or filter attributes. They will be ignored. Order by should be used within the whereClause instead. If you use the whereClause searching and sorting will not work! See the new <filter> tag to search/sort with complex where clauses. Example: <% StringBuffer whereClause = new StringBuffer(); whereClause.append("WHERE (FIELD1>'25' AND FIELD1<'50' ) OR FIELD2 NOT NULL ORDERBY FIELD7"); %> <db:dbform table="TABLE1" followUp="this.jsp" whereClause = "<%whereClause.toString()%>"> [RTExpValue]
formValidatorName	this attribute contains the name of the form which is used for validation (defined in the validation.xml file). [RTExpValue]
captionResource	this attribute is to be used in conjunction with the internationalization support in dbForms v1.1+. It allows the developer to specify if the 'caption' attribute values, found in embedded button tags, should be looked up in the associated resource bundles. By default, this attribute is set to 'false'. [RTExpValue]
javascriptValidation	this attribute is used to specify if client-side validation (javascript) should be executed. By default, this attribute is set to 'false'. Default javascripts are defined in the validator-rules.xml file. [RTExpValue]
javascriptValidationSrcFile	this attribute allows a developer to specify a javascript file (.js) to be used for client-side validation. Default javascripts are defined in the validator-rules.xml file. [RTExpValue]
javascriptFieldsArray	this attribute is used to specify if dbForms should generate a javascript method which can be used by (javascript) developers for referencing dbform-generated field names . By default, this attribute is set to 'false'. Generated code example: <SCRIPT language="javascript"> <!-- var dbformFields = new Array(); dbformFields["phone"] = "f_0_0@root_8"; dbformFields["bugstate"] = "f_0_0@root_9"; dbformFields["reporter"] = "f_0_0@root_7"; dbformFields["priority"] = "f_0_0@root_2"; dbformFields["description"] = "f_0_0@root_4"; dbformFields["category"] = "f_0_0@root_1"; function getDbFormFieldName(name){ return dbformFields[name]; } --> </SCRIPT> [RTExpValue]
redisplayFieldsOnError	In a jsp which contains many input fields, it may be desirable, in the event of an error, to redisplay input data.(instead of refreshing the fields from the DB) DbForms implements this functionality by default with INSERT fields only. If you choose to set this attribute to "true" then DbForms will redisplay entered values even with UPDATES. [RTExpValue]
followUp	site to be invoked after action Note that buttons can override followUp (and followUpOnError) settings defined in the dbform tag [RTExpValue]
followUpOnError	site to be invoked after action, if error occured on page Note that buttons can override followUp (and followUpOnError) settings defined in the dbform tag [RTExpValue]
autoUpdate	if "true", at every action (navigation, insert, update, etc.) all input fields of ALL currently rendered rowsets are parsed and updated. many rows may be affected. This can be very useful if people need to change lots of data, even multiple datarows, at once if "false", updates are only performed if an explicite "update"- action is launched (normally by hitting the updateAction-button). Only the current row is affected. if "OnUpdateOnly", updates are only performed if an explicite "update" - action is launched (normally by hitting the updateAction-button), all input fields of ALL currently rendered rowsets are parsed and updated. Many rows may be affected. This can be very useful if people need to change lots of data, even multiple datarows, at once. [RTExpValue]
overrideFieldCheck	If set to true the field values will not be checked if they are changed. The database update will be done always This could be usefull if you want to call your interceptor always to check fields which are not part of the table. In your interceptor you can use return DbEventInterceptor.IGNORE_OPERATION if you do not want the database update [RTExpValue]
parentField	used in sub-form: field(s) in the main form that is/are linked to this form Should either be a key or set to sortable="true" in dbforms-config.xml [RTExpValue]
childField	used in sub-form: field(s) in this form that is/are linked to the parent form Should either be a key or set to sortable="true" in dbforms-config.xml [RTExpValue]
target	pendant to the html-target attribute in html-form tag: the target frame to jump to [RTExpValue]
multipart	multipart must be set to "true" if the form contains file-upload tags or if the form may be invoked by a form containing file-upload tags, orif it containts fields of BLOB or DISKBLOB. default is "false" (multipart-support off) [RTExpValue]
orderBy	a SQL orderBy-CLAUSE (without the keyword "ORDER BY") example: "id, name desc" "id" "id asc" "firstname asc, lastname desc" important: if you use a non-primary key, you MUST specify sortable="true" within your dbforms-config.xml file for the key you want to sort by if you do not specify it here, you may define it globally in your dbforms-config.xml file. If you do not specify any information, DbForms automatically takes the key-fields for sorting. remember field names are CASE SENSITIVE in DbForms framework (at least in current version) [RTExpValue]
filter	definition of a FILTER. Format: Fieldname/Fielvalue pairs, seperated by , or ; symbol. Examples: filter="id=2" filter="id=2;name=Hugo Berger" filter="deptno=101,salery>=30000,name~Peter" the ~ symbol is an aquivalant to the SQL keyword "LIKE" used in SELECT statements! since version 0.9, you can use <, > <= and >= operators, too! <db:dbform tableName="employee" maxRows="*" followUp="/employees.jsp" autoUpdate="false" filter ="deptno=101,salary>=30000,name~Peter%" ... < /db:dbform > Operator: Meaning: Example: = Equals aField=value <> Not Equal aField<>value < Smaller then aField<100 > Greater then aField>0 <= Smaller then or equal aField<=100 >= Greater then or equal aField>=0 ~ Like aField~%P% Since version 1.1.3pr1: ISNULL is null aField ISNULL NOTISNULL is not null aField NOTISNULL By default, all filter definitions are ANDed together. If you wish to use OR, you may prefix your filter definition with the '|' symbol. (even better! - use the whereClause attribute ) Example: aFieldVal=3, |anotherField>3 would produce the following: ... where aFieldVal=3 OR anotherField>3 filter will be overwritten by searching! [RTExpValue]
sqlFilter	a filter in sql syntax which will be added to the where clause [RTExpValue]
gotoPrefix	allows to define a prefix applied to request parameters in order to provide a convenient and easyway of implementing navigation. Using this attribute may substitute the use of the more complicated and not very convenient GotoButton-Tag! example: if you define gotoPrefix="fv_" then you can call your jsp that way: customers.jsp?fv_id=4 => DbForms fetches the value of fv_ id which is "4" and then navigates to the row where id is 4. this attribute was added in release 0.9 [RTExpValue]
gotoHt	allows to define a hashtable containing fieldName / fieldValue combinations which represent the valueof a key (which can consist of more than one field, of course!) example: you could define a hashtable "myGotoHash" and apply it to the attribute <%Hashtable myGotoHash = null;if(request.getParameter("goto")!=null) { myGotoHash = new Hashtable();myGotoHash.put("id",request.getParameter("goto")); }%> <db:form table="customer" followUp="customer.jsp" gotoHt="<%= myGotoHash %>" > ... some code ...</db:form> now, when a user calls aview.jsp?goto=234, then DbForms will navigate thetable to the row where id==234! there are many other ways you can use this facility. the only important thing is that the key value(s) in the hashtables refer to valid field names of the table. BE SURE TO SPECIFY ALL YOUR KEYS OR NAVIGATION WILL BE UNPREDICTABLE [ if you do not know what all the values should be, use a wildcard like: myGotoHash.put("how_used","*"); and navigation will be to the first instance this attribute was added in release 0.9 [RTExpValue]
localWebEvent	this attribute allows a JSP view developer to trigger WebEvents(NavigationsEvents)on the JSP. No controller interaction is needed. This attribute aims to make linkage between dialogs easier. currently, the available "local web event"-commands are: navFirst navPrev navNext navLast navNew if a developer wants to show the last row of a table, then she/he could apply the value "navNext" to this attribute. Note that this attribute is evaluated in runtime, this gives additional flexibility this attribute was added in release 0.9 [RTExpValue]
onSubmit	JavaScript event handler executed before the form is submited. If the event handler returns FALSE, the form will not be submitted. When the result is TRUE, the form will be submitted [RTExpValue]
autocomplete	if the autocomplete value is specified then the attribute is inserted in the form tag. if the value is "off" and if the browser has autocompletion ability, it can be disabled with this tag. Any value will be accepted for autocomplete. e.g. autocomplete="any", the generated HTML code is: <form name="dbforms" ... autocomplete="any" ... > [RTExpValue]

this tag renders a Header-tag. Itshould to be nested within a dbform-tag.because this tag
is nested within a dbform-tag it is invoked every time the parent dbform-tag getsevaluated,
but it gets only rendered at the FIRST evalation-loop.

This tag has no attributes.

the body grouping tag

this tag renders a Body-tag. It should to be nested within a dbform-tag.because this tag
is nested within a dbform-tag it is invoked every time the parent dbform-tag getsevaluated,
AND it gets rendered in every evalation-loop (if there exists data to be rendered)

Attribute Name	Description
allowNew	by default this is "true" - if so, the body is rendered at least 1 time, even if there are no data rows in the table. this enables the user to insert a new data row. - to disable this feature, allowNew has to be set to "false" [RTExpValue]

this tag renders a Footer-tag. it should be nested within a dbform-tag.because this tag is nested within a dbform-tag it is invoked every time the parent dbform-tag getsevaluated, but it gets only rendered at the end of the last evaluation-loop.

This tag has no attributes.

label - can never be used as input field

Attribute Name	Description
fieldName	name of the field this tag references to [Required][RTExpValue]
maxlength	Set a limit to the number of characters visible [RTExpValue]
nullFieldValue	If the value (retrieved from the database) is null, allow the user to replace the text to display by a custom value. May be used in conjunction with dbForm's I18N support. [RTExpValue]
pattern	When dealing with numeric or date/time values, you could use the Java API to format the output of the text field expressions yourself using the format attribute. But there is a more convenient way to do it: by using the pattern attribute. The value you should supply to this attribute is the same that you would supply if it were for you to format the value using either the java.text.DecimalFormat class or java.text.SimpleDateFormat class, depending on the type of value to format. In fact, what the engine does is to instantiate the java.text.DecimalFormat class if the text field expression returns subclasses of the java.lang.Number class or to instantiate the java.text.SimpleDataFormat if the text field expression return java.util.Date or java.sql.Timestamp objects. For more detail about the syntax of this pattern attribute, check the Java API documentation for those two classes: java.text.DecimalFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat. [RTExpValue]
customFormatter	The name of a formatting instance registered previously by using the setCustomFormatter tag [RTExpValue]
styleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied. This is done adding a SPAN element that contains the text. [RTExpValue]
title	this defines the "title" attribute for the HTML4 tag. [RTExpValue]

title	this defines the "title" attribute for the HTML4 tag. [RTExpValue]

this tag renders a dabase-datadriven LABEL, which is a passive element (it can't be changed bythe user) - it is predestinated for use with read-only data (i.e. primary keys you don't wantthe user to change, etc)

so far it is equivalent to DbLabelTag. But this tag may have a body containing any kind ofEmbeddedData - tag! this feature was put into a seperate class for performance reasons (we do not want the overheadof pushing and poping the jsp writer to and off the stack)

The dataLabel tag contains an EmbeddedData tag (TableData, QueryData, or StaticData) The fieldName (defined in dataLabel) is used as a lookup for an element in the embeddedData collection.

Example:

<!We have an ID, we want to display the Description -look it up in the Priorities table -->
<db:dataLabel fieldName="ID_Priority">
<db:queryData name="aQuery" query="SELECT ID_Priority, Description from Priorities"/>
</db:dataLabel>

Attribute Name	Description
fieldName	name of the field this tag references to [Required][RTExpValue]
strict	if strict is true, value is set to empty string if it's not found in the embedded data. otherwise it's set to the formatted field value. default is false, so that it act's like before. [RTExpValue]
maxlength	Allows a developer to limit the amount of characters displayed on screen. If the label to display exceeds the limit, trim and display '...' Example: <db:dataLabel fieldName="ABC" maxlength="10"> </db:dataLabel> [RTExpValue]
nullFieldValue	If the value (retrieved from the database) is null, allow the user to replace the text to display by a custom value. May be used in conjunction with dbForm's I18N support. [RTExpValue]
styleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied. This is done adding a SPAN element that contains the text. [RTExpValue]
title	this defines the "title" attribute for the HTML4 tag. [RTExpValue]

i/o text field

Attribute Name	Description

fieldName	name of the field this tag references to [Required][RTExpValue]
password	visually encrypted input field [RTExpValue]
defaultValue	default field name to use if the specified field is empty. [RTExpValue]

But there is a more convenient way to do it: by using the pattern attribute. Useful in select if you have a 4 digit lookup value and want to avoid it being reformatted with the default locale as #,###. Use pattern="#" to avoid this. [RTExpValue]

generates a link to a DbForms View. Setting the positionattribute will force DbForms to navigate to this position within the destination-table

the 3 examles below produce all the same result

<linkURL href="customer.jsp" tableName="customer" position="103~2"/>

<linkURL href="customer.jsp" tableName="customer" position="<%= currentKey %>"/>

<linkURL href="customer.jsp" tableName="customer">
<position field="id" value="103"/>
<position field="cust_lang" value="2"/>
</linkURL>

Attribute Name	Description
href	the url of the JSP file representing the view [Required][RTExpValue]
tableName	the url of the table the view represents [Required][RTExpValue]
position	optional: the position to navigate to within table "tableName" for backwards compatibility is the same as destPos! [RTExpValue]
parentField	used if parentTable is different to tableName: field(s) in the main form that is/are linked to this form [RTExpValue]
childField	used if parentTable is different to tableName: field(s) in this form that is/are linked to the parent form [RTExpValue]
destPos	a value indicating the row to navigate to. Position strings are used as request parameters allowing the framework to keep track of the position the user comes from or goes to. This string is structured as follows: fieldId : fieldValueLength : fieldValue It is important to note that if multiple keys exist in the definition of the table, your position string must includes values for each key. (separated by dashes (-)) Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position using multiple keys--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" destPos="1:6:widget-3:2:23"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToDestPos	a key indicating the row to navigate to. Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position through a key --> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToDestPos="k_1_1@root"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToKeyToDestPos	a key to the key indicating the row to navigate to. For each record in the result-set, the associatedRadio tag generates a key reference which can be used to retrieve a position string. Example: <!for each record, generate a key to the position string --> <db:body><db:associatedRadio name="test"/></db:body> <db:footer> <! Jump to another JSP, specify position (get second record using appropriate key!)--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToKeyDestPos="test"/> Check "customerlist.jsp" in example! [RTExpValue]
singleRow	if set to true, only one row of data will be fetched. default is false, so that all rows of data will be fetched and the requested record will be set as actual record. [RTExpValue]

example:

<linkURL href="customer.jsp" tableName="customer">
<position fieldName="id" value="103"/>
<position fieldName="cust_lang" value="2"/>
</linkURL>

Attention: field to reference must be a key field in the target table!

Attribute Name	Description
fieldName	name of the key-field [Required][RTExpValue]
value	value of the key field [Required][RTExpValue]

The gotoButton tag can be used to forward processing to another JSP. Setting the position (via various gotoButton attributes) will force DbForms to navigate to this position within the destination-table.

Example:

<!Caption text should be retrieved via a resource bundle -->
<db:dbform tableName="MyTABLE" captionResource="true">

<! Jump to another JSP, no positionning -->
<db:gotoButton caption="menu" destination="/menu.jsp"/>

caption	Caption of the button. (use it if the chosen flavor is "standard") If the value of the 'captionResource' attribute in the parent dbform is 'true', this tag retrieves it's content via a resource bundle. [RTExpValue]
src	source of the image (use it if the coosen flavor is "image") [RTExpValue]
alt	alternative to image (use it if the coosen flavor is "image") [RTExpValue]
border	set html border attribute [RTExpValue]
destination	the URL of the jsp-view to be invoked [Required][RTExpValue]
destTable	the table of the toplevel form to jump to [may be deprecated soon] [RTExpValue]
destPos	a value indicating the row to navigate to. Position strings are used as request parameters allowing the framework to keep track of the position the user comes from or goes to. This string is structured as follows: fieldId : fieldValueLength : fieldValue It is important to note that if multiple keys exist in the definition of the table, your position string must includes values for each key. (separated by dashes (-)) Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position using multiple keys--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" destPos="1:6:widget-3:2:23"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToDestPos	a key indicating the row to navigate to. Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position through a key --> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToDestPos="k_1_1@root"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToKeyToDestPos	a key to the key indicating the row to navigate to. For each record in the result-set, the associatedRadio tag generates a key reference which can be used to retrieve a position string. Example: <!for each record, generate a key to the position string --> <db:body><db:associatedRadio name="test"/></db:body> <db:footer> <! Jump to another JSP, specify position (get second record using appropriate key!)--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToKeyDestPos="test"/> Check "customerlist.jsp" in example! Example for single form (works with mutilple key columns): <db:body> <input type="hidden" name="currentRow" value="<db:pos>"/> </db:body> <db:footer> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToDestPos="currentRow"/> [RTExpValue]
singleRow	if set to true, only one row of data will be fetched. default is false, so that all rows of data will be fetched and the requested record will be set as actual record. [RTExpValue]
parentField	used in sub-form: field(s) in the main form that is/are linked to this form Should either be a key or set to sortable="true" in dbforms-config.xml [RTExpValue]
childField	used in sub-form: field(s) in this form that is/are linked to the parent form Should either be a key or set to sortable="true" in dbforms-config.xml [RTExpValue]

tabIndex	The tab order (ascending positive integers) for this element. [RTExpValue]

Renders a HTML "base" element with a "href"-attribute pointing to the absolute location of the enclosing JSP page. The presenceof this tag allows the browser to resolve relative URL's to images,CSS stylesheets and other resources in a manner independent of the URLused to call the ControllerServlet. You should use this tag in all your JSP-views (seeexamples in distribution)

There are no attributes associated withthis tag.

This tag has no attributes.

renders errors stored in request

Attribute Name	Description
caption	caption of the error-list default = "Error:" [RTExpValue]
name	the name that should be used for retrieving the error-data from the session default = "errors" [RTExpValue]
messagePrefix	Note: DbForms v1.0 no longer appends Exception messages together. Therefore the exception message you input is the only text contained in the message. Hence, no need for message Prefix anymore. The user may define a messagePrefix attribute to specify a delimiter. If defined, only the exception message after the delimeter iswritten out. This can be used to produce a user interface with nice, clean output. If the error tag does not contain a value formessagePrefix, the tag works as normal (prints out the exception information) [RTExpValue]

In order to manage error messages more efficiently, we introduced the new XmlError tag. Instead of hard coding your error messages within your interceptors, you can now define them in an xml file which is loaded at application start-up (in the exact same manner as the dbForms-config.xml file!) Furthermore, messages may be stored (and retrieved) for any given language. Here is how it works

Create an xml error file called dbForms-errors.xml with the following structure:

<dbforms-errors>
<error id="001" type="WARN">
<message language="Fracais">% - Champ est obligatoire% </message>
<message language="English">% - is mandatory %"</message>
</error> </dbforms-errors>

Replace the errors tag by the xmlErrors tag (in your jsp's).

In your interceptor, throw a ValidationException with the following message construct:
Language-MessageID:parameter,parameter,parameter
Where:
Language = used to locate which message to return, ends with a dash (-)
Message ID = error ID used for lookup, ends with a colon (:)
Parameter(s) = separated by commas, read in sequence, replaces placeholders (%) in message

Example:

String messageConstruct = "English-001:param1,param2";

throw new ValidationException(messageConstruct);

Note that you may also use this mechanism to intercept error messages which are generated by the database. Ie: Oracle throws the following message: ORA-0001: blah blah blah

<dbforms-errors>

<error id="0001" type="WARN">

<message language="ORA">Oracle message: % </message>

</error>

</dbforms-errors>

Attribute Name	Description
caption	caption of the error-list default = "Error:" [RTExpValue]
name	the name that should be used for retrieving the error-data from the session default = "errors" [RTExpValue]

value	if set to TRUE body will be rendered if an error as occured. if set to FALSE body will be rendered if no error has occured. Default: TRUE [RTExpValue]

Attribute Name	Description
count	Number of records allowed If the result Set contains >= the number of elements specified, display the appropriate message (XML error file). As with error messages, arguments may be passed to the message string via a comma delimited string. Example: <db:dbform table="TABLE" maxRows="200" followUp="next.jsp"> <db:header> <!-Message: Resultset too big, displaying first 200 records --> <db:hasMoreRecords count="200" message="English-001:200" /> </db:header> </db:dbform> [Required][RTExpValue]

Attribute Name	Description
message	Message to display (see xml error manager) [RTExpValue]

example: imagine a table "customer". The rows of this table should be listed. The user shouldbe able to delete a customer.

in that case the application developer has to alternatives:

to put a "deleteButton" into the body -> this button gets rendered for every row
if the user clicks the button the associated data row gets deleted.the disadvantage of this method is that multiple buttons must be rendered, which takes awaylots of space and makes layouting more difficult

to put an "associatedRadio" into the body and the "deleteButton" on the footer (or header)
the radio element gets rendered for every row, the deleteButton just once. if the user wantsto delete a row, he/she has to select the radioButton (to mark the row he/she wants to be deleted)and then to press the deleteButton.

the more buttons you have the better this method is!!

nota bene: you have to tell the delete (or insert, update...) - button that there exists an associatedradio button that marks the row the action should be applied to, by defining the "associatedRadio"attribute of that respective button.

Attribute Name	Description
name	a unique name for the radio box. this name is used by buttons like "deleteButton" or "updateButton"to lookup the valio of this radio! see "deleteButton" or "updateButton" for further information! [Required][RTExpValue]

use cases:

• rendering an image: <img src="<db:diskblob fieldName="pic""/>" alt="a picture">
• rendering a (download-)hyperlink: <a href="<db:diskblob fieldName="pic""/>">download!</a>

Attribute Name	Description
fieldName	name of the field this tag references to [Required][RTExpValue]
defaultValue	default field name to use if the specified field is empty. "Filesystem blob" example: <img src="<db:blobURL fieldName="THUMBNAIL" defaultValue="myImage.jpg"/>" border="0" width="xx" height="yy"> Developers Note: this attribute (up to now) is not used for "database blob" data, works only for "Disk Blob" data. Update 03/2004: works now for BLOB data as well (if BLOB is not in classic mode and nameField is used) [RTExpValue]
nameField	this optional attribute may be used to tell the fileservlet in which table column (field) the name of the file is stored. This is (only) needed if you use the new (default) BLOB model which does not rely on FileHolder anymore to associate files and their names. Hence, the association between file and name must be captured by other means: During upload we use the BlobInterceptor, and during download we use this "nameField" argument. [RTExpValue]

defaultValue	default value to choose if no value specified in paramList - attribute in the db:style tag of the embedded jsp [RTExpValue]
dir	if the parameter describes a ressource then dir should be set to the directory containing thatresource. this attribute notes RELATIVE to the directory of the current template. if your template is placed in /templates/mytemplate/ and you have images in a directory /templates/mytemplate/img/than just note dir as "img". if the images (or other resources) are in the /templates/mytemplateyou may set dir to "." if you skip this attribute, then no directory will be written out. then only the actual valueof the param gets written out (for example if the parameter is "bgcolor=#343434" then you definitly wouldnot want any directories to be involved!! [RTExpValue]

only used in template (_begin.jsp / _end.jsp) - definition files!

A filter tag contains one or more filterCondition tag. Each filterCondition represent a sql condition and is identified by its label. In the body of the filterCondition tag there is the piece of SQL code that we want to insert in the where clause, the character ? act like a placeholder, so a ? in the sql code will be substituted with the some user input. To tell the system what type of user input we want, the last tag is used, the filterValue tag. Each ? found in body will be subsituted by its corresponding filterValue tag. With the "type" attribute of this tag you can select the input more. Selecting "text", a filterValue will render an html input tag, with "select" you'll have an html select, and so on. An example is like this:

							<db:filter> <db:filterCondition
							label="author name like"> NAME LIKE %?%
							<db:filterValue/>
							</db:filterCondition>
							<db:filterCondition label="ID > V1 AND ID
							< V2"> AUTHOR_ID >= ? AND AUTHOR_ID <=
							? <db:filterValue label="V1"
							type="numeric"/> <db:filterValue
							label="V2" type="numeric"/>
							</db:filterCondition>
							<db:filterCondition label="author equal
							to"> NAME = ? <db:filterValue
							type="select"> <db:queryData name="q1"
							query="select distinct name as n1, name as
							n2 from author where AUTHOR_ID < 100
							order by name"/> </db:filterValue>
							</db:filterCondition>
							<db:filterCondition label="now is after
							date"> CURRENT_DATE > ? <db:filterValue
							type="date" useJsCalendar="true" />
							</db:filterCondition>
							<db:filterCondition label="filter without
							user input"> AUTHOR_ID > 10
							</db:filterCondition> </db:filter>
						

This structure will be rendered as a html select element to select the condition the you want to apply. On the onchange event there is a submit, so the page reload with the input elements of the condition that you have selected. After all input elements, there are two buttons, one to apply the condition, one to unset the current applied condition.

Attribute Name	Description
disabledCaption	used to override the label of the main select's first option element [RTExpValue]
setCaption	caption of the SET button [RTExpValue]
unsetCaption	caption of the UNSET button [RTExpValue]
styleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied. This is done adding a SPAN element that contains the text. [RTExpValue]
title	this defines the "title" attribute for the HTML4 tag. [RTExpValue]
size	Number of rows of select element [RTExpValue]
setStyleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied to the SET button. If not provided, the styleClass attribute is used. [RTExpValue]
unsetStyleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied to the UNSET button. If not provided, the styleClass attribute is used. [RTExpValue]

A condition is specified as sql code in the body of the tag. The character ? is a placeholder for user's input substitution. Every char ? found in sql code is replaced with value evalutated from corresponding filterValue tag nested. So there must be as ? as filterValue tags.

Attribute Name	Description
label	Label that identified the condition in the select list [Required][RTExpValue]

Attribute Name	Description
label	label that will be rendered in bold before the input element [RTExpValue]
type	type of the input element that will be rendered, possible values are: text text input date input text for date type, a validation of the value will be done, and it supports the jscal object timestamp input text for timestamp type, a validation of the value will be done, and it supports the jscal object (it doesn't fit very well, anyway ...) numeric input text for number, a validation of the value will be done select render an html select element, filled with nested tags like queryData, staticData and so on. [RTExpValue]
searchAlgo	The search algorithm. possible values: sharp this is the default behavior, do nothing. weakStart like, % is added in front of value weakEnd like, % is appended to value weakStartEnd like, % is added in front of value and % is appended to value [RTExpValue]
customEntry	Allows an additional (independant) entry into the select list<br/> Arguments to this tag are as follows: Key,Description,boolean (default selection?) [RTExpValue]
selectedIndex	Index that should be selected as default when form is rendered the first time [RTExpValue]
useJsCalendar	Place small calendar icon after input field. Clicking that icon will popup a JavaScript calendar that can be used to set a new value for the field. Some preparations have to be done, the calendar must be copied into the web applications and must be included in current page. See dbforms manual for details. [RTExpValue]
jsCalendarDateFormat	Subpatterns inside date formats have sometimes different meanings in Java and inside JavaScript calendar. For some date formats it may be neccessary to explicitely set a date format to the calendar that corresponds to the used date format inside dbforms application. See dbforms manual for details. [RTExpValue]
size	Number of rows of select element [RTExpValue]
styleClass	CSS stylesheet class to be applied. This is done adding a SPAN element that contains the text. [RTExpValue]
title	this defines the "title" attribute for the HTML4 tag. [RTExpValue]

generates a link to a DbForms View

Attribute Name	Description
href	the url of the JSP file representing the view [Required][RTExpValue]
tableName	the url of the table the view represents [Required][RTExpValue]
position	optional: the position to navigate to within table "tableName" for backwards compatibility is the same as destPos! [RTExpValue]
parentField	used if parentTable is different to tableName: field(s) in the main form that is/are linked to this form [RTExpValue]
childField	used if parentTable is different to tableName: field(s) in this form that is/are linked to the parent form [RTExpValue]
destPos	a value indicating the row to navigate to. Position strings are used as request parameters allowing the framework to keep track of the position the user comes from or goes to. This string is structured as follows: fieldId : fieldValueLength : fieldValue It is important to note that if multiple keys exist in the definition of the table, your position string must includes values for each key. (separated by dashes (-)) Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position using multiple keys--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" destPos="1:6:widget-3:2:23"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToDestPos	a key indicating the row to navigate to. Example: <! Jump to another JSP, specify position through a key --> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToDestPos="k_1_1@root"/> [RTExpValue]
keyToKeyToDestPos	a key to the key indicating the row to navigate to. For each record in the result-set, the associatedRadio tag generates a key reference which can be used to retrieve a position string. Example: <!for each record, generate a key to the position string --> <db:body><db:associatedRadio name="test"/></db:body> <db:footer> <! Jump to another JSP, specify position (get second record using appropriate key!)--> <db:gotoButton caption="View Sample Details" destination="/viewSample.jsp" destTable="Sample" keyToKeyDestPos="test"/> Check "customerlist.jsp" in example! [RTExpValue]
singleRow	if set to true, only one row of data will be fetched. default is false, so that all rows of data will be fetched and the requested record will be set as actual record. [RTExpValue]

The registered class must implement the org.dbforms.interface.ICustomFormat interface. A new instance of the object will be instantiated and initialized with the 'arg' value, this instance will be given the name 'name'. The name exists in the session space. Other tags that utilize the custom formatter will use the attribute customFormatter='xyz', where 'xyz' is the name registered. Multiple instances of the same object can exist with different names and initial values for arg.

At runtime the class's setLocale() method will be called. Then the sprintf(Object[] data) method will be called, data will be an array of 3 values. data[0] = string of text (i.e. what would normally be displayed), data[1] is the current field of type Field, and data[2] is the invoking tag of type Tag. The methods should check for null values in the input.

either the contextVar -OR- type and value must be set! This allows you to calculate a value in your jsp, store this into the pageContext or pass in a value directly and then use the textFormat tag to format it with the settings used in dbforms - with locale support.

Attribute Name	Description
type	Fieldtype. Must match a dbforms field type declaration [RTExpValue]
value	The value which should be formatted [RTExpValue]

pattern	When dealing with numeric or date/time values, you could use the Java API to format the output of the text field expressions yourself using the format attribute. But there is a more convenient way to do it: by using the pattern attribute. The value you should supply to this attribute is the same that you would supply if it were for you to format the value using either the java.text.DecimalFormat class or java.text.SimpleDateFormat class, depending on the type of value to format. In fact, what the engine does is to instantiate the java.text.DecimalFormat class if the text field expression returns subclasses of the java.lang.Number class or to instantiate the java.text.SimpleDataFormat if the text field expression return java.util.Date or java.sql.Timestamp objects. For more detail about the syntax of this pattern attribute, check the Java API documentation for those two classes: java.text.DecimalFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat. [RTExpValue]
customFormatter	The name of a formatting instance registered previously by using the setCustomFormatter tag [RTExpValue]
