All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class BookBackingContext
extends PageBackingContext

This is the backing context for a book. As such, it is meant to be called from backing files or pageflows. If you want to access this context from a JSP, look at BookPresentationContext instead.

Call `getContextFromRequest` to obtain the backing context for the active window.

Field Detail

### CLASS_NAME

    protected static final String CLASS_NAME

Method Detail

### getActivePageBackingContext

    public PageBackingContext getActivePageBackingContext()

  Return the PageBackingContext of the active page or null if there is none.

  Returns:
    the PageBackingContext of the active page or null if there is none.
  See Also:
    `Book#getActivePage()`

### getBookBackingContext

    public static BookBackingContext getBookBackingContext(HttpServletRequest request)

  Obtain a reference to the current `BookBackingContext` in the request. Note: the BookBackingContext should only be obtained from a backing file. If you think you need this context from a JSP, look at BookPresentationContext.

  Parameters:
    `request` - http servlet request.
  Returns:
    a reference to the BookBackingContext or null if none exists.

### getBookBackingContextRecursive

    public BookBackingContext getBookBackingContextRecursive(String definitionLabel)

  Return a book with a given label searching the entire tree recursively. If you are interested in both books AND pages use `getPageBackingContextRecursive()` as that method returns both. Note: this method may return null if called from the init() method of a backing context.

  Overrides:
    `getBookBackingContextRecursive` in class `PageBackingContext`
  Parameters:
    `definitionLabel` - of the book
  Returns:
    the Book of interest or null if not found.

### getContainerParentBackingContext

    public BackingContext getContainerParentBackingContext()

  Returns the next "container" (Window, Page, or Book) ancestor `BackingContext`.

  Returns:
    the next "container" (Window, Page, or Book) ancestor `BackingContext` or null if there is none

### getCurrentPage

    public String getCurrentPage()

  Returns the instanceId of the current page

  Returns:
    the instanceId of the current page
  See Also:
    `Book#getCurrentPage()`

### getDefaultPage

    public String getDefaultPage()

  Return the value of the underlying object's `defaultPage` attribute.

  Returns:
    a String, the value of the underlying control's `defaultPage` attribute.

### getEntitledPages

    public List getEntitledPages()

  Deprecated. use getPageBackingContexts()

  Return the collection of entitled BackingContexts (BookBackingContexts and PageBackingContexts) for the pages and books contained by the book this BackingContext represents. This method filters out pages that are hidden or for which entitlements are not sufficient to view.

  Returns:
    an List of PageBackingContext/BookBackingContext objects. If no pages present, an empty list.

### getPageBackingContextByDefinitionLabel

    public PageBackingContext getPageBackingContextByDefinitionLabel(String definitionLabel)

  Returns the PageBackingContext of the child page specified by `definitionLabel`. If the page is not found, null is returned. This method does not recursively go down the tree.

### getPageBackingContextByInstanceId

    public PageBackingContext getPageBackingContextByInstanceId(String instanceId)

  Returns the PageBackingContext of the child page specified by `instanceId`. If the page is not found, null is returned. This method does not recursively go down the tree.

### getPageBackingContextByUnqiueId

    public PageBackingContext getPageBackingContextByUnqiueId(String uniqueId)

  Returns the PageBackingContext of the child page specified by `uniqueId`. If the page is not found, null is returned. This method does not recursively go down the tree.

### getPageBackingContextRecursive

    public PageBackingContext getPageBackingContextRecursive(String definitionLabel)

  Return a book or a page with a given label, traversing the entire tree to find it. This will go inside books that are on pages too. Note: this method may return null if called from the init() method of a backing context.

  Overrides:
    `getPageBackingContextRecursive` in class `PageBackingContext`
  Parameters:
    `definitionLabel` -
  Returns:
    the backing context of the page or book with the matching definition label.

### getPageBackingContexts

    public List getPageBackingContexts()

  Return the collection of BackingContexts (BookBackingContexts and PageBackingContexts) for the pages and books contained by the book this BackingContext represents. This list is entitled. If no pages or books exist returns an empty list.

  Returns:
    List of (BookBackingContext and PageBackingContext)

### getPageCount

    public int getPageCount()

  Return the number of pages contained in the book that this BackingContext represents.

  Returns:
    the number of pages contained in the book that this BackingContext represents.
  See Also:
    `Book#getPageCount()`

### getPages

    public List getPages()

  Deprecated. Use getPageBackingContexts() instead.W

  Return the collection of BackingContexts (BookBackingContexts and PageBackingContexts) for the pages and books contatined by the book this BackingContext represents. If no windows exist returns an empty list.

### getPortletBackingContextRecursive

    public PortletBackingContext getPortletBackingContextRecursive(String instanceLabel)

  Return the portlet backing context matching the supplied instance label. Note: this method may return null if called from the init() method of a backing context.

  Overrides:
    `getPortletBackingContextRecursive` in class `PageBackingContext`
  Parameters:
    `instanceLabel` - unique instance label of the portlet
  Returns:
    a reference to the portlet's BackingContext if it exists, otherwise null.

### getPortletsBackingContextRecursive

    public PortletBackingContext[] getPortletsBackingContextRecursive(String definitionLabel)

  Return all portlet backing contexts matching the supplied definition label. Since many portlets can share the same definition label, more than one portlet can be returned. If you are interested in just one portlet then try `getPortletBackingContextRecursive(String instanceLabel)` Note: this method may return null if called from the init() method of a backing context.

  Overrides:
    `getPortletsBackingContextRecursive` in class `PageBackingContext`
  Parameters:
    `definitionLabel` - label of the portlet
  Returns:
    a non-null array of PortletBackingContext.

### isContained

    public boolean isContained()

  Returns true if the book represented by this backing context is "contained", that is if the the book's next book, window, or page ancestor is a book or window.

### isDesktopBook

    public boolean isDesktopBook()

  Returns true if the book represented by this backing context is the desktop Book (i.e. the top-most book in the portal).

### isLikePage

    public boolean isLikePage()

  Indicates whether or not the underlying book is a page in another book.

  Returns:
    `true` if underlying book is a page in another book
