If set to “false” the entity will not be visible to the user. The entity is still available on the client for Weave to work with, it’s just not visible as an entity for the user to select.

You can also use “publish” as an alias for “published”

A reference to an ACL to attach to the entity.

string

no

What context/contexts this entity should belong to.

See this page for more information.

Description

default

ref urn:com.cohga.server.entity#1.0:default

1..n

A set of default entries that make up this defaults section

Notes

This provides information about the default things that should be pre-selected for the user when this entity is the currently active entity, without this the first item available, alphabetically, would be shown to the user (unless it is a Weave 2.x client that has a defaults section that provides this information)

Description

type

‘search’ or ‘data’

1..1

The type of this default entry.

At the moment only ‘search’ and ‘data’

Content

The id of the default item that this entry is associated with.

Notes

The defaults tag and each individual default sub-tag it contains is intended to associate another Weave configuration items with the entity as being the default that should be pre-selected for the user when the entity is the currently active entity. For example it will specify the default data to be displayed to the user when entities of this type are selected, or the default search that the user can perform.

Examples

A simple entity entities with a label

Code Block
languagexml
<entity:entity id="suburbsuburbs">
	<label>Suburb</label>
</entity:entity>
 label="Suburbs"/>
<entity:entity id="roads" label="Roads"/>

An entity that's only visible to users who are members of the 'publicinternal' ACL

Code Block
languagexml
<entity:entity id="roadincidents">
	<label>Road</label>
	<acl>public</acl>
</entity:entity>
 label="Incidents" acl="internal"/>

A entity with an ACL defined in-line, rather than referenced like the previous example

Code Block
languagexml
<entity:entity id="propertyincidents" label="Incidents">
	<label>Property</label>
	<acl:acl>
		<entry type="denyallow">anonymous<>internal</entry>
		<entry type="allowdeny">*</entry>
	</acl:acl>
</entity:entity>

Some grouped entities with custom icons and a maximum scale

Code Block
languagexml
<entity:entity id="sewer_pipes" label="Sewer Pipes" group="Infrastructure" iconCls="icon-sewer_pipe" maxScale="25000"/>
<entity:entity id="water_pipes" label="Water Pipes" group="Infrastructure" iconCls="icon-water_pipe" maxScale="25000/>

Setting the default search and data for an entity

Code Block
languagexml
<entity:entity id="property" label="Properties" iconCls="icon-house" maxScale="30000">
  <defaults>
    <default type="search">property.by_address</default> <!-- assumes a search with the id property.by_address is defined elsewhere -->
    <default type="data">property.all_details</default> <!-- assumes a data with the id property.all_details is defined elsewhere -->
  </defaults>
</entity:entity>
