Parameters common to many portlets.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sql | The SQL String. Can be any valid SQL Query for your configured database. However it is required that the query returns at least one column. All selected columns of are represented as columns in the grid. |
| windowSize | The number of rows presented in the grid at one time. |
| template | The Velocity template to layout the database grid HTML in view mode. For many cases the default template is sufficient. |
| customizeTemplate | The Velocity templated to layout the database grid HTML in customize mode. For many cases the default template is sufficient. |
| poolName | To use a different Torque database connection pool than the default Torque pool. See the Jakarta Torque project documentation for more information on database connection pools. |
| row-link-ids | The row-link-ids parameter is a comma separated list of localised string ids. These ids are looked up in the resource bundle, and displayed as hyperlinks. |
| row-link-types | The row-link-types determine the type of link. They are also comma separated. Valid values are: pane, psml. The 'pane' link type will go to another pane in your current PSML resource, where you can place an edit form for entering the values of the selected record. The 'psml' link type specifies the name of a local PSML page. |
| row-link-targets | The table-link-targets specifies the name of the resource(s). With a pane link type, it identifies the name of the pane. The pane name can also be a portlet. When used with the psml link type, it specifies the name of a PSML resource. |
| table-link-ids | The table-link-ids parameter is a comma separated list of localised string ids. These ids are looked up in the resource bundle, and displayed as hyperlinks. |
| table-link-types | The table-link-types determine the type of link. They are also comma separated. Valid values are: pane, psml. The 'pane' link type will go to another pane in your current PSML resource, where you can place an edit form for entering the values of the selected record. The 'psml' link type specifies the name of a local PSML page. |
| table-link-targets | The table-link-targets specifies the name of the resource(s). With a pane link type, it identifies the name of the pane. The pane name can also be a portlet. When used with the psml link type, it specifies the name of a PSML resource. |
| user-object-names | A 'user object' can be automatically created and attached to each row of the Database Browser result set. User object can be any Java object. The name is arbitrary, and is to access your user object from Java your action. This property can contain one or more user object names, separated in a list by commas. |
| user-object-types | A 'user object' can be automatically created and attached to each row of the Database Browser result set. The user object can be any Java object. The type of the object is declared here as a full Java path. For example: com.xyz.project.MyUserObject, com.xyz.project.YourUserObject. This property can contain one or more user object types, separated in a list by commas. |
| sqlparam[1..n] | A parametrized query may be specified for the browser (for example: 'select * from coffees where coffee_id=?'). To provide static parameter values, use the sqlparam[index] prefix when naming your parameters. For example, sqlparam1 may be used to specify the first parameter, sqlparam2 for the second one and so on. The parameter index must be consecutive and must start with one. As of 1.4-b5. |
