[izpack-users] izpack variable issue

[Carmel Morrissey]

Hi Mandeep

The update of the RULE_FIELD does not work within UserInputPanel
updateUIElements method asI would have expected.  The value is not getting
updated within the RuleInputField.  There is no setText() method or similar
with the RuleInputField class.  I would have expected similar processing as
the TEXT_FIELD functionality.

		else if (TEXT_FIELD.equals(element[POS_TYPE]))
            {
                // update TextField
                JTextField textf = (JTextField) element[POS_FIELD];

                // System.out.println("Textfield: " + value);
                if (value == null)
                {
                    value = textf.getText();
                }
                textf.setText(vs.substitute(value, null));
                element[POS_FIELD] = textf;
            }
		else if (RULE_FIELD.equals(element[POS_TYPE]))
            {

                RuleInputField rulef = (RuleInputField) element[POS_FIELD];
                // System.out.println("RuleInputField: " + value);
                if (value == null)
                {
                    value = rulef.getText();
                }               
            }

Is there any easy way of updating the text within the RuleInputField?

In particular I want to update NODE 'set' within ELEMENT 'spec' (see sample
excerpt from userInputSpec.xml.  I want to update the default port 8888 to a
value set at runtime.

<field type="rule" variable="AppServerPort">
  <description align="left" txt="" id="description1.text"/>
  <spec txt="Enter web site port:" layout="N:15:5" set="0:8888"/>
  validator class="com.izforge.izpack.util.NotEmptyValidator" txt="Please
enter a valid port number"/>
</field>			

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Carmel

Hi Carmel,

Try to checkout the recent IzPack from SVN repository on 
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/izpack/izpack-src/trunk/. You will 
get the latest code here.

Regards
Mandeep
