The Direct Reports portlet (Manager.portlet) accesses the Employee Information database to display a list of the employees who report directly to a particular manager. The Content URI property in the Property Editor window specifies the following file as the initial page flow file referenced by the Direct Reports portlet: /manager/Controller.jpf.
The following figure shows the controller file, Controller.jpf, for the Direct Reports page flow in the Flow View canvas of the Page Flow Designer.
Controller File for the Direct Reports Page Flow
The following table describes each component of the controller file for the Direct Reports page flow.
Defines the employeeList() method that retrieves a list of the current manager's direct employees and passes control to EmployeeList.jsp. The employeeList() method uses an instance of the UsersDBControl database control, m_DBCtrl, to retrieve employee information from the Employee Information database. The UsersDBControl database control is described in detail in Viewing Employee Information. |

Displays a list of the current manager's direct employees. First, it uses a netui-data:callPageFlow JSP page flow tag to call the employeeList() method defined in the controller file. Then, it uses the netui-data:repeater, netui-data:repeaterHeader, netui-data:repeaterItem, and netui:label JSP page flow tags to render the contents. For example: <netui:form action="info"> <netui-data:callPageFlow method="employeeList" resultId="array"/> <table border="0"> <netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageContext.array}"> <netui-data:repeaterHeader> <table border="0.5"> <tr> <td><b>Employee Name</b></td> <td></td> <td><b>Employee Email</b></td> </tr> </netui-data:repeaterHeader> <netui-data:repeaterItem> <tr> <td> <netui:label value="{container.item.employeename}"/> </td> <td> <netui:label value="{container.item.email}"/> </td> </tr> </netui-data:repeaterItem> </netui-data:repeater> </table> </netui:form> To learn more about the JSP page flow tags listed here, see Designing User Interfaces in JSPs in the WebLogic Workshop Help. |
