Constructor Detail

UserPropertyDescriptor

Method Detail

newInstance

public abstract UserProperty newInstance(User user)

Creates a default instance of UserProperty to be associated with User object that wasn't created from a persisted XML data.

See User class javadoc for more details about the life cycle of User and when this method is invoked.

Returns:

null if the implementation choose not to add any property object for such user.

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled()

Whether or not the described property is enabled in the current context. Defaults to true. Over-ride in sub-classes as required.

Returning false from this method essentially has the same effect of making Hudson behaves as if this UserPropertyDescriptor is not a part of UserProperty.all().

This mechanism is useful if the availability of the property is contingent of some other settings.
