Method Call builder inputs

This topic describes the inputs for the Method Call builder.

Table 1. Method Call builder inputs
Input name Description
Name Name for this builder call. The WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer displays this name in the builder call list.
Method to call Use the action chooser to select one of the methods in the model to call.
Public Enable this check box to make this method call available to other (linked) models.
Arguments Specify the values for any arguments (only arguments defined by the specified action are displayed). You can use the Reference Chooser to select the value from an element in the model or you can enter a text string manually.
Overwriting

Rename Existing This input is useful in cases where you want to change the behavior of code that was placed in the WebApp by a high-level builder or by an Imported Model.
For example, you might want to do this if you have a Domino View and Form builder in your model, and you want to use a different class for one of the LJOs that builder adds to the WebApp. The Domino View and Form builder does not provide an LJO Class Name input. But, you can place a new LJO builder in the model and give it the same name as that assigned by the Domino View and From builder, thus replacing the existing LJO and specifying new class.

Enable

When checked, this input will cause the builder to replace an existing WebApp object with a new object. The builder will locate the existing WebApp object (variable or LJO, for example), rename it, and then create a replacement object.

Note: This input is available on the following low-level Builders that create WebApp objects: Action List, Imported Page, Linked Java Object, Linked Model, Method, Method Call, Page, Variable and Schema.
