Tag: metadata

The metadata tag retrieves metadata information that may be returned in response to a Get BOD request that is used for authoring, for example, workspaces in the Management Center. The param tag and the contextData are sub-tags of the getData tag.

Example

In the following example, the metadata tag is used in a JSP fragment. The changeControl metadata properties for a particular catalog object are retrieved and stored in the propertyMap variable. Then, if the modifiable property is available, its value is used for further processing.

<wcf:metadata     showVerb="${show}" 
    businessObject="${catalog}"
    usage="changeControl"
    var="propertyMap"/> 
<c:if test="${!empty propertyMap.modifiable}">     <changeControlModifiable><![CDATA[${propertyMap.modifiable}]]></changeControlModifiable>
</c:if>

This code would produce output similar to the following example:

<metadata usage="changeControl">     <modifiable>true</modifiable>     <logonID>wcsadmin</logonID>
</metadata>
