Method Detail

isAttributeReadable

boolean isAttributeReadable(String layerId,
                          InternalFeature feature,
                          String attributeName)

Check whether a specific attribute of a feature is visible.

When no feature id is specified, the general status of the attribute (across all features) is checked.

If the feature in not visible, the attributes should also be not visible.

Parameters:

layerId - layer which contains the feature to test

feature - feature to test (or null)

attributeName - name of the attribute to test

Returns:

true when the feature is visible

isAttributeWritable

boolean isAttributeWritable(String layerId,
                          InternalFeature feature,
                          String attributeName)

Check whether a specific attribute of a feature is writable.

No distinction is made between create, update and delete. It merely indicates whether the user is allowed to change the value. When this is an association, it implies that both create, update and deleted of the linked object are allowed.

When no feature id is specified, the general status of the attribute (across all features) is checked.

When isAttributeWritable() is true, then isAttributeReadable() should also be true.

Parameters:

layerId - layer which contains the feature to test

feature - feature to test (or null)

attributeName - name of the attribute to test

Returns:

true when the feature is visible
