Define combo box values

In this lesson, you define the values for the Warranty term and Warranty type combo boxes. A combo box is a commonly-used GUI widget that contains a drop-down list of values that the user can select.

The following screen captures show the result of the customization.

List view – Warranty term

Property view – Warranty information


Procedure

  1. Open the Java EE perspective.

  2. Complete one of the following steps:

    • In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand LOBTools > WebContent > WEB-INF > src > lzx > commerce > catalog > objectDefinitions.

    • In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand LOBTools > WebContent > config > commerce > catalog > objectDefinitions.

  3. Open one of the following files:

    • ProductPrimaryObjectDefinition.lzx

    • ProductPrimaryObjectDefinition.def

    Tip: You define combination box values in an ObjectDefinition file. Since Warranty Term and Warranty Type are product-level properties you define values in one of these files.

  4. Add the following code, immediately before the Product's part number property definition:

    Option Description
    ProductPrimaryObjectDefinition.lzx Search for the text <!--- Property definition for the part number of the product --> and then paste the following code sample immediately before the line you located. 

    <wcfPropertyDefinition propertyName="x_warterm" type="number">
<wcfPropertyValue displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm1.string}" value="30"/>
<wcfPropertyValue displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm2.string}" value="45"/>
<wcfPropertyValue displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm3.string}" value="60"/>
</wcfPropertyDefinition>

<wcfPropertyDefinition propertyName="x_wartype" type="string">
<wcfPropertyValue displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForType1.string}" value="LIMITED"/>
<wcfPropertyValue displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForType2.string}" value="COMPREHENSIVE"/>
</wcfPropertyDefinition>

    ProductPrimaryObjectDefinition.def Search for the text <!--- Property definition for the part number of the product --> and then paste the following code sample immediately before the line you located. 

    <PropertyDefinition propertyName="x_warterm" type="number">
   
<PropertyValue
        displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm1}"
        value="30"/>
   
<PropertyValue
        displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm2}"
        value="45"/>
   
<PropertyValue
        displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForTerm3}"
        value="60"/>
</PropertyDefinition>

<PropertyDefinition propertyName="x_wartype" type="string">
   
<PropertyValue
        displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForType1}"
        value="LIMITED"/>
   
<PropertyValue
        displayName="${extCatalogResources.productWarranty_DisplayNameForType2}"
        value="COMPREHENSIVE"/>
</PropertyDefinition>

  5. Right-click the LOBTools project and select Build Open Laszlo Project.
