Send parameter from menu to Browser screen

mortoza_khan · March 22, 2022, 9:53pm

Hi
Like we use @windowParam in CUBA, I tried to use the same from JMIX menu to a screen but it is not running.

 <item screen="pf_BankCashEntry.browse"
              caption="msg://com.inteacc.pf.entity.bankcashentry/bankCashEntryBrowse.menu" id="pf_BankCashEntry.browse">
            <properties>
                <property name="tranSource" value="general"/>
            </properties>
        </item>

In Controller:

  @WindowParam(name = "tran-source")
    private String tranSource;

I also tried this way:

  @WindowParam()
    private String tranSource;

However, this is returning the null value on the screen.

Is this API still valid or what is the best alternative?

Hi,

That is a known issue: Properties in MenuItem not propagated (and not available) · Issue #300 · jmix-framework/jmix · GitHub. It will be fixed in one of the bug-fix releases.

Regards,
Gleb

Hi
It has been several months this issue is not fixed yet in Jmix without which I can’t migrate or develop the application I want to develop in Jmix. Can this be prioritized?

Fixed in 1.3.0 several months ago. See the related issue:

size: S in: ui

As it was in CUBA. Now `io.jmix.ui.menu.MenuItemCommands#loadParams` always ret…urns an empty collections. ---- ### Changes #### Jmix API 1. Parameters in the screen. It works as described in the documentation: https://docs.jmix.ru/jmix/ui/menu-config.html#item-properties. I.e. define setter in your screen: ``` @UiController("DemoScreen") @UiDescriptor("demo-screen.xml") public class DemoScreen extends Screen { protected int integerValue; public void setIntegerValue(int integerValue) { this.integerValue = integerValue; } } ``` And in the menu define parameter: ``` <item screen="DemoScreen" caption="Demo screen"> <properties> <property name="integerValue" value="99"/> </properties> </item> ``` 2. Parameters in class or bean. Create Spring Bean: ``` @Component("MenuItemLinkBean") public class MenuItemLinkBean { private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MenuItemLinkBean.class); public void openParams(Map<String, Object> params) { log.info("Invoked openParams with map size: " + params.size()); } } ``` And define parameters in the menu: ``` <item id="openWithParams" bean="MenuItemLinkBean" beanMethod="openParams" caption="Open with params"> <properties> <property name="count" value="2"/> <property name="entity" entityClass="com.company.cubamaster.entity.User" entityId="60885987-1b61-4247-94c7-dff348347f93"/> </properties> </item> ``` #### Legacy API 1. Create legacy screen in the migrated project: ``` public class DemoWindow extends AbstractWindow { @Override public void init(Map<String, Object> params) { super.init(params); showNotification("Params size: " + params.entrySet().size()); } } ``` Add to the menu parameters: ``` <item id="demoWindow" caption="Demo window"> <param name="val" value="2"/> <param name="entity" value="sec$User-60885987-1b61-4247-94c7-dff348347f93"/> </item> ``` `@WindowParam` also works but values from the menu has the String type (excluding Boolean and entity types). ### QA Check above cases.

Thank you. But I tried before posting but didn’t work.

Please give us a reproducible case of what is not working.
