metadata (table) - retrieving primary row

shirinp

I have a metadata table that I created under the object modeler and populate in my library manager. I was wondering, how do you determine what is the first row created for that table?

I have:

Metadata pMetadata
pMetadata->getallpropertydescriptions() //where i iterate and get the columns for the table...

however, it seems that these property descriptions are displayed alphabetically. I need to know the primary field of a table so that I can display that to a user. For example, I have name and description as rows, but I want to only display the name row ( which is the first row I created in the table and shows up as the first entry under the table in the xml file). Is there a way to show this?

Thanks!

Sorry, but there is no way to do what you want.

BTW, if by "primary" you mean the primary key of the table, it won't be any of the properties that you define in Object Modeler. The primary key is always the EXT: Smiley Frustrated

Well, how come in the web components, it does display the order correctly?

If I have a table - table1, and two properties for that table, table1Name and table1Desc, and ive populated these fields... when I click the (+/-) button to display the list of options, it bringsup table1Name as the first column and table1Desc with the second column.

Now, I have another table called table2, with properties test and test2. when I click the (+/-) button, it brings up "test" as the first column and "test2" as the second column.

This is the order that I created these properties in.

However, when I want to display these columns at run time, I get the first table displaying in the same way as above. However, I get the second table displaying test2 first, then test. Therefore, I am assuming that these were sorted in some order, or can be displayed in some order...

Am I assuming something wrong??

I see that in the web components, under the view set manager, when you register a property, it asks which property you would like to select ast the primary property:

"Please select the primary property for this type"

... therefore, since you can specify it, is it possible to find out which it is??

Many of the web components settings are not stored in the library, they are just stored somewhere in configuration files within the web server.

This is out of my area of knowledge.

Sorry I misunderstood your initial question.

Hello, Shirinp!

I'm not sure if this helps, but I do believe the properties that you register are only stored in the views/<viewsetname>/registrations.xml file. I don't believe that information is stored anywhere in the actual WSMP server.

Thanks,

Yeah, I guess there really is no way for it to be determined since it's being configured through the view set manager and not the library manager!

Thanks for the help Smiley Happy
