Joget DX 8 Stable Released
The stable release for Joget DX 8 is now available, with a focus on UX and Governance.
...
In this tutorial, we will following the guideline of developing a plugin to develop our JDBC Form Store Binder plugin. Please also refer to the very first tutorial How to develop a Bean Shell Hash Variable and also the following JDBC related plugin for more details steps.
...
We will have to support a syntax to inject the form data to the query. "{foreignKey}" can be used for Multi Rows storing.
We will also need to support a syntax to inject UUID value. In this case, we will use "{uuid}".
Example: INSERT INTO app_fd_test VALUES ({id}, {name}, {email}, {phone}, {foreignKey});
...
The following of this tutorial is prepared with a Macbook Pro and Joget Source Code version 5.0.0. Please refer to Guideline of for developing a plugin for other platform command.
...
Create a "JdbcStoreBinder" class under "org.joget.tutorial" package. Then, extend the class with org.joget.apps.form.model.FormBinder abstract class.
To make it work as a Form Store Binder, we will need to implement org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreBinder interface. Then, we need to implement org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreElementBinder interface to make this plugin show as a selection in store binder select box and implement org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreMultiRowElementBinder interface to list it under the store binder select box of grid element.
Please refer to Form Store Binder Plugin.
As usual, we have to implement all the abstract methods. We will using AppPluginUtil.getMessage method to support i18n and using constant variable MESSAGE_PATH for message resource bundle directory.

package org.joget.tutorial; import org.joget.apps.app.service.AppPluginUtil; import org.joget.apps.app.service.AppUtil; import org.joget.apps.form.model.Element; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormBinder; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormData; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormRowSet; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreBinder; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreElementBinder; import org.joget.apps.form.model.FormStoreMultiRowElementBinder; public class JdbcStoreBinder extends FormBinder implements FormStoreBinder, FormStoreElementBinder, FormStoreMultiRowElementBinder { private final static String MESSAGE_PATH = "messages/JdbcStoreBinder"; public String getName() { return "JDBC Store Binder"; } public String getVersion() { return "5.0.0"; } public String getClassName() { return getClass().getName(); } public String getLabel() { //support i18n return AppPluginUtil.getMessage("org.joget.tutorial.JdbcStoreBinder.pluginLabel", getClassName(), MESSAGE_PATH); } public String getDescription() { //support i18n return AppPluginUtil.getMessage("org.joget.tutorial.JdbcStoreBinder.pluginDesc", getClassName(), MESSAGE_PATH); } public String getPropertyOptions() { return AppUtil.readPluginResource(getClassName(), "/properties/jdbcStoreBinder.json", null, true, MESSAGE_PATH); } public FormRowSet store(Element element, FormRowSet rows, FormData formData) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates. } } |
Then, we have to do a UI for admin user to provide inputs for our plugin. In getPropertyOptions method, we already specify our Plugin Properties Options definition file is locate at "/properties/jdbcStoreBinder.json". Let us create a directory "resources/properties" under "jdbc_store_binder/src/main" directory. After create the directory, create a file named "jdbcStoreBinder.json" in the "properties" folder.
In the properties definition options file, we will need to provide options as below. Please note that we can use "@@message.key@@" syntax to support i18n in our properties options.

Same as JDBC Options Binder, we will need to add a test connection button for custom JDBC setting. Please refer to How to develop a JDBC Options Binder on the Web Service Plugin implementation.
Once we done the properties option to collect input and the web service to test the connection, we can work on the main method of the plugin which is store method.

Our plugin is using dbcp, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest and javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse class, so we will need to add jsp-api and commons-dbcp library to our POM file.

We are using i18n message key in getLabel and getDescription method. We also used i18n message key in our properties options definition as well. So, we will need to create a message resource bundle properties file for our plugin.
Create directory "resources/messages" under "jdbc_store_binder/src/main" directory. Then, create a "JdbcStoreBinder.properties" file in the folder. In the properties file, let add all the message keys and its label as below.

We will have to register our plugin class in Activator class (Auto generated in the same class package) to tell Felix Framework that this is a plugin.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
public void start(BundleContext context) {
registrationList = new ArrayList<ServiceRegistration>();
//Register plugin here
registrationList.add(context.registerService(JdbcStoreBinder.class.getName(), new JdbcStoreBinder(), null));
} |
Let build our plugin. Once the building process is done, we will found a "jdbc_store_binder-5.0.0.jar" file is created under "jdbc_store_binder/target" directory.
Then, let upload the plugin jar to Manage Plugins. After upload the jar file, double check the plugin is uploaded and activated correctly.
Let create a form to create and update user to dir_user table.
Then, configure the store binder of the form with the following query.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
select username from dir_user where username = {id} |
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
insert into dir_user
(id, username, firstName, lastName, email, active)
values
({id}, {id}, {firstName}, {lastName}, {email}, 1) |
note: {uuid} can be used to generate a unique id
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
update dir_user set firstName = {firstName}, lastName = {lastName},
email = {email}
where username = {id} |
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
delete from TABLE_NAME where id = {id} |
Now, let test to add a user.
Check the user is created in dir_user table.
Let update the same record by pass the id in URL parameters.
Check the user is updated.
It works! Please remember test the other features of the plugin as well.
You can download the source code from jdbc_store_binder_src.zip
