I was given a task to list down all controls and theirs labels along with some other attributes like style, style class, parent id, etc and prepare an Excel sheet. It was so boring and tedious task for me. This is a repetitive task in which I need to copy attributes value and paste it to the Excel sheet. I decided to automate this task and wrote this piece of code which simplifies my task drastically.

Paste above code in the script library and following code in afterPageLoad event of XPage

1
Doc.generate(view, null);

Now preview your XPage into the browser. A list of documents has been created in the application with form name fDoc. Create a view to display all these documents and its field values.

XPage – Sort View Column

Posted on by

I was searching for a work around to allow view column to be sortable by clicking on column header but I was not able to find any reliable solution using View Panel. Now I found a way to provide this feature using Repeat Control or Data Table.

Please go through the following code.

var loView:NotesView = null;
var loEntryColl:NotesViewEntryCollection = null;
var loTreeMap:java.util.TreeMap = new java.util.TreeMap();
var lsSortBy = viewScope.get("sortBy");
try {
    loView = database.getView("view");
    if(null == lsSortBy || "" == lsSortBy) {
        lsSortBy = 0;
    }
    
    if(null != loView && loView.getEntryCount() > 0) {
        loEntryColl = loView.getAllEntries();
        var loEntry:NotesViewEntry = loEntryColl.getFirstEntry();
        var loTempEntry:NotesViewEntry = null;
        while(null != loEntry) {
            loDoc = loEntry.getDocument();
            var lsKey = loEntry.getColumnValues().get(lsSortBy);
            
            while(loTreeMap.containsKey(lsKey)) {
                lsKey += "~";
            }
            loTreeMap.put(lsKey, loEntry.getColumnValues());
            
            loTempEntry = loEntryColl.getNextEntry(loEntry);
            loEntry.recycle();
            loEntry = loTempEntry;
        }
    }
} catch(e) {
    print("Error : " + e);
} finally {
    if(null != loView) loView.recycle();
    if(null != loEntryColl) loEntryColl.recycle();
}
return loTreeMap.values();

In line 3 I am defining a TreeMap data structure. By definition TreeMap is sorted according to its natural ordering of its keys.

Since the data structure is always sorted so we can insert NotesViewEntry column values to the TreeMap and the corresponding column value (by which the view needs to be sorted) should be passed as key.

Look at line no 17 I am forming the key by which the view needs to be sorted. By default it is first column value.

At this point of time the only thing which creates problem is the duplicate values of the key. In TreeMap the value is overwritten if the key is already existing.

From line 18-21 I am appending additional character to make the key unique.

In line 37 I am returning value set from the TreeMap which is already sorted by key.

Rest of the code is quite easy to understand. I hope it may help in your application.
