Programming

Adding a new sink node widget renderer

All widget implementations should be placed under the org.openiot.ui.request.presentation.web.model.nodes.impl package and should implement the VisualizationWidget interface. This interface defines three methods:

• createWidget. This method receives as input the list of presentation attributes that were filled in by the user during the service design and returns a JSF component instance that handles the widget view. The implementation is responsible for generating the widget wrapper (dashboard panel) and the actual widget renderer.
• processData. This method is invoked when new data is available for processing. The method receives a SdumSeviceResultSet as its input. The implementation is responsible for parsing the result set and updating its view accordingly.
• clearData. This method is invoked when the user clicks the widget's clear data button. The implementation is responsible for cleaning up any collected data and updating its view.

Localization support

The request presentation application has full i18n localization support via property files. These files are placed under the org.openiot.ui.request.presentation.web.i18n package.
