Method Detail

shouldExecute

boolean shouldExecute(IFormLifecycleShouldExecuteParams params)

Optional test to decide whether a form lifecycle plugin should be executed for a particular form request. Use e.g. params.getRequestContext().getRequestType() to check the type of the request.

Note: Lifecycle plugins may be queued for execution at points were they were not before. Implementations of this method should prefer narrow checks, e.g.

 return params.getFormRequestContext().getRequestType() == EFormRequestType.PROVIDE}
 

instead of

 return params.getFormRequestContext().getRequestType() != EFormRequestType.PROCESS
 

Parameters:

params - Parameters with the current form request.

Returns:

true if the plugin should be executed during the lifecycle of the given form request, false otherwise.

Throws:

RuntimeException - This method should never throw an exception, but if it does, it is handled as if this method had returned false.
