Hi laurentsd ,
I want to develop a web client plugin using vSphere webclient SDK 5.1.
I referred and modified the chassisRack-ui and chassisRack-service samples according to my requirement.
As suggested by you in one of the thread (https://communities.vmware.com/message/2374748#2374748 ) to do not cache any objects in ObjectStore as it is not intended for it.
I tried to follow the route of getting the objects on the fly at traversal and return only the counts at start up within initializeObjectStore .
I have few difficulties in the same:
1) Is it correct that for every count i have to push a dummy object in objectstore to display the actual count in the Screen2 (refer attachment).
...For example to show 4 chasis count i have to push 4 dummy Chassis Objects.
2) If i push dummy objects equals to actual count according to my remote server response then How can i get the details of those actual objects to display in Screen3.
....
As when i traverse from Screen2 to Screen 3 controls comes to below method
private Object getProperty(Chassis chassis, String propertyName) {
assert (chassis != null);
if ("name".equals(propertyName)) {
return chassis.getName();
} else if ("location".equals(propertyName)) {
return chassis.getLocation();
} else if ("rack".equals(propertyName)) {
return chassis.getRack();
}
return UNSUPPORTED_PROPERTY_FLAG;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now where should i have to write the code to get actual Chasis Object list from remote server to return as a response while traversing from Screen2 to Screen 3 and return the actual objects for Chasis.?
can you provide any code required to achive the same or what are the entries requires at plugin.xml to have such flow.?
I am trying to make you aware the flow of my plugin :
1) My service layer will communicate to my remote server to get actual Objects/Data and which will in turn can be rendered at UI.
and as suggested i don't want to cache the objects to object store.
I am attaching the Screens which might clear the Objective.
