Constructor Detail

TopLevelItemDescriptor

protected TopLevelItemDescriptor(Class<? extends TopLevelItem> clazz)

TopLevelItemDescriptor

Since:

1.278

Method Detail

isApplicable

public boolean isApplicable(Descriptor descriptor)

TopLevelItemDescriptors often uses other descriptors to decorate itself. This method allows the subtype of TopLevelItemDescriptors to filter them out.

This is useful for a workflow/company specific job type that wants to eliminate options that the user would see.

Since:

1.294

testInstance

public boolean testInstance(TopLevelItem i)

Tests if the given instance belongs to this descriptor, in the sense that this descriptor can produce items like the given one.

TopLevelItemDescriptors that act like a wizard and produces different object types than Descriptor.clazz can override this method to augment instance-descriptor relationship.

getDisplayName

public abstract String getDisplayName()

Human readable name of this kind of configurable object.

Used as the caption when the user chooses what job type to create. The descriptor implementation also needs to have newJobDetail.jelly script, which will be used to render the text below the caption that explains the job type.

Specified by:

getDisplayName in class Descriptor<TopLevelItem>

newInstance

@Deprecated
public TopLevelItem newInstance(org.kohsuke.stapler.StaplerRequest req)
                         throws Descriptor.FormException

Deprecated. since 2007-01-19. This is not a valid operation for Jobs.

Overrides:

newInstance in class Descriptor<TopLevelItem>

Throws:

Descriptor.FormException

newInstance

public TopLevelItem newInstance(String name)

Deprecated. as of 1.390 Use newInstance(ItemGroup, String)

Creates a new TopLevelItem.

newInstance

public abstract TopLevelItem newInstance(ItemGroup parent,
                                         String name)

Creates a new TopLevelItem for the specified parent.

Since:

1.390

all

public static ExtensionList<TopLevelItemDescriptor> all()

Returns all the registered TopLevelItem descriptors.
