public class TaxSelector

extends BasicSearchElementRenderer

implements ISelector

Implementation of ISearchElementRenderer - Uses a MetadataMap to select a set of metadata fields based on the current state of a Taxonomy. Contains a set of Options which represent a taxonomy path value that will cause a set of ISearchElementRenderers to be selected. Used with SearchFormGridRenderer.

XML Configuration Template:

    <SearchElementRenderer rendererClass="com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.selectors.TaxSelector"
                              taxonomyMap="[ file name of XML config for MetadataMap ]" 
                              taxonomyName="[ name of taxonomy that will drive the selection]" 
                              rootPath="[ default path into the metadata map]" >

      <Option name="[ value of that will cause the contained renderers to be selected]" >
        <SearchElementRenderer rendererClass="[ class of SearchElementRenderer ]" >
        </SearchElementRenderer>

        </SearchElementRenderer rendererClass="[ class of SearchElementRenderer ]" >
        </SearchElementRenderer>
      </Option>

      <Option name="[ different value ]" >
        <SearchElementRenderer rendererClass="[ class of SearchElementRenderer ]" >
        </SearchElementRenderer>

        <!-- etc... -->
      </Option>

    </SearchElementRenderer>
