Relation of default and defaultonenter attributes in documentum.

For few days I was struggling to find out the reason why first time when I pressed the enter button the next button onclick function was called when default='true' attribute was set in the next button of the container. Finally I found the reason why it was working fine. The reason was very funny when we are launching the newfoldercontainer component first time we have to enter some text in the name field where defaultonenter was set to true, so the cursor is present inside that text box, so when I was hitting the enter key the onclick function of next button was called successfully. But when I was coming through Prev button the cursor was not present in the text box so the enter key was not working. So from this we can conclude that in order to use attribute default='true' we need some text box where defaultonenter must be set to true and the cursor must be present in one of the text box where the attribute defaultnoenter is set to true then only the default='true' functionality will be working properly.

For example:
Consider newfoldercontainer container in documentum

webcomponent/config/library/create/newfoldercontainer_component.xml

Prev, Next, Finish and Cancel button are coming from newContainer.jsp in which the next button default="true" attribute value is set.
 
/webcomponent/library/create/newContainer.jsp
  



<dmf:button name='<%=PropertySheetWizardContainer.NEXT_BUTTON_CONTROL_NAME%>' default="true" cssclass='buttonLink' nlsid='MSG_NEXT' onclick='onNextComponent' height ='16' tooltipnlsid='MSG_NEXT_TIP'/>
 
Now in order to make enter key work we have to add defaultonenter attr equal to true in the one of the text boxes used by the component present in the container. As container lauch one component at a time so for each next and finish button to work on pressing enter we have to go to each and every component jsp page and set the defaultonenter='true' in the text box where the user will enter some text and after that he will be hitting the Enter key. If the text box where defaultonenter='true' is not highlighted then pressing Enter won't fire any event.
 
So we consider, newfolder component of newwfoldercontainer then we can see defaultonenter is set to true for
attribute_object_name text box

<dmf:text name="attribute_object_name" size="30" id="object_name" defaultonenter="true" tooltipnlsid="MSG_NAME_COLON" autocompleteid="ac_folderName"/>
 
The enter key will work only if the attribute_object_name text is highlighted means when the cursor is inside the text box.

Implementation of Documentum Business Object Framework (BOF)

BOF                                                                                                        Business Object framework is the object oriented framework provided by Documentum to build, deploy, test and execute reusable business logic component known as Business Objects.   Types of BOF Modules:   TBO – Type Based Business Object SBO – Service Based Business Object Aspects Simple Module Steps to Create different type of Modules   TBO: As TBO depends on persistence object type, we can either modify the existing functionality of the persistence object or we can add new functionality. We will discuss below how to modify the default save functionality as well we add new functionality. For writing TBO we must have a persistence object type. It is always a good practice to create a sub type of existing documentum types without trying to modify the default one. So in our case we will create an object type my_document_tbo. We can create t
