Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getExportPrefix()
java.lang.String[]	getExports() getExports() returns the names of all exported methods that will be available to a template through tags like {$[export_prefix]_[lowercase_export_name]} when the DataCapsule object is placed directly into a Chunk's tag table: Chunk c = theme.makeChunk("template_name"); someObj x = fetchObj(); c.addData(x); For now, only very simple methods may be exported.

Method Detail

getExports

java.lang.String[] getExports()

getExports() returns the names of all exported methods that will be available to a template through tags like {$[export_prefix]_[lowercase_export_name]} when the DataCapsule object is placed directly into a Chunk's tag table: Chunk c = theme.makeChunk("template_name"); someObj x = fetchObj(); c.addData(x); For now, only very simple methods may be exported. Use this pattern: String getSomeValue() { ... } ie, to be exported the method must accept no arguments and must return a String. Implementing DataCapsule can save quite a bit of programming. For example, exporting "getSomeValue" results in the tag {$prefix_some_value} automatically becoming available to the template. Export the method as "getSomeValue my_val" to change the tag name to {$prefix_my_val} "prefix" can be whatever you want, it is the String returned by getExportPrefix()

getExportPrefix
