I am creating a web page using GWT 2.5.0, in this I used lots of composite component. And the web page is developed based on XML .
So here we parse the XML and according to each element add componnet to a VerticalPanel and finally add it to a FormPanel and then return it to add to RootPanel. Beside the Component corresponds to XML I add a Button, call it submit button, on its click event I want to get the values of every component in that form. To clear what my idea is , below is the pseudo code of my work:
public FormPanel createFormWithComponents(){
FormPanel fp = new FormPanel();
vp = new VerticalPanel();
//these are creatred based on the xml
ABC coutn = new ABC (null,"pressure count",true);
PI propotion = new PI(12.5,"HR percentage");
vp.add(coutn);
vp.add(propotion);
//a common button to every form created here
Button submit = new Button("submit");
vp.add(submit);
submit.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
@Override
public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
UPDATED
String values = "";
Iterator<Widget> vPanelWidgets = vp.iterator();
while (vPanelWidgets.hasNext()){
Widget childWidget = vPanelWidgets.next();
if(childWidget instanceof ABC){
ABC xx = (ABC )childWidget;
values = String.valueOf(xx.getMagnitude());
}
}
Window.alert(values);
}
});
fp.add(vp);
return fp;
}
Any insight would be appreciated. UPDATED: Here am comparing each of child widget component with one of my Composite component , do i have to do like this comparing to all Composite component? I there any kind of simple or optimized way to do it? I want good solution for doing this process as there are so many composite component over there:
if(childWidget instanceof ABC ){
ABC xx = (ABC )childWidget;
values = String.valueOf(xx.getMagnitude());
}
