How do you associate a view with a form?

A view is nothing but the sum of attributes and hidden fields that needs to shwon or calculated for a form. For example when you want to serch for a user with a partcular accountId, what you get is nothing but teh particular User view with the associated information.If you want to access the user view , the refer it like waveset.view.attrName or global.view.attributeName. Whenever we open a form , we are actually checking out the user view (if it is a User Form) and while submitting , we are actually check in the view. In workflows, with specific activities ,we do the chek out view and check in view. We pass the id for the type of view to be checked in and in teh same way for check out views.

I am a beginner in this field also. I just shared my understanding. For a better understanding go though the Identity Managere deployment guide.

If you know the values of the previous fields, then assign them in <Derivation> tag, then you can call that field just using <ref> tag. Example

If you have to field2 is determined by what ever the field1 value, then in the field1 <Derivation> tag, set that value,and then you can call that field1 value by just doing <ref> tag in the field2, make sure you have field1 defined the form before field2

to get access to such an attribute I suppose you've included it in the attribute mapping of the RA, then you can get hold of it via

accounts[<your-RA-name>].<attribute_name>

or

accounts[Lighthouse].<attribute_name>

Define a field in the form in the <Derivation> tag use below code

<invoke name='getView'>

<ref>:display.session</ref>

<s>User:userid</s>

<map>

<s>authorized</s>

<s>true</s>

</map>

</invoke>

This will give you user view. I think !!!!!

I am trying to dynamically generate a view from the logged in user using this code snippet:

<Derivation>

<invoke name='getView'>

<ref>:display.session</ref>

<concat>

<s>User:</s>

<invoke name='getUser'>

<ref>:display.session</ref>

</invoke>

</concat>

<map>

<s>authorized</s>

<s>true</s>

</map>

</invoke>

</Derivation>

But am getting this exception repeatedly until it finally gives me a StackOverflowError:

com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method getView on class com.waveset.session.LocalSession ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: XPRESS exception ==>

com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method getView on class com.waveset.session.LocalSession ==> java.lang.StackOverflowError:

Any ideas?

Thanks,
