Class PresetsManager

java.lang.Object

public class PresetsManager
extends Object

Spring util bean responsible for preset model object generation.

Presets are defined as XML snippets representing the model objects for a given set. Each file can contain many presets each referenced by a unique ID. The preset definitions can be located in any Store and any number of stores can be searched.

A set of parameterised model objects such as page, template instances and component bindings can be defined for a preset. The XML for each model object definition is effectively identical to that used to define the model object within its own file - but nested within the preset structure as follows:

 
 
     
         
             ...
         
         
             ...
         
         
             ...
         
     
     
         ...
     
 
 

One important difference to standard model object XML is that the ID for an object is specified as an attribute on the parent element, for instance:

See the file slingshot\config\alfresco\site-data\presets\presets.xml for example usage.

Each preset supports parameterisation via "token" name/value pair replacements. For example:

     
         
             
                 ${scope}
                 title
                 site/${siteid}/dashboard
                 /components/title/collaboration-title
             
             ...
 

where the values of "${scope}" and "${siteid}" would be replaced if supplied in the token map during preset construction. See the method constructPreset() below.
