Class FormButtonAction

          uk.ac.ebi.intenz.webapp.controller.common.FormButtonAction

public class FormButtonAction
extends CurationAction

This Action handles all button events apart from submit buttons.

Before the actual button command is being processed the enzyme ActionForm (EnzymeDTO) is validated. This is done in addition to the form validations performed by the Struts environment to be able to compare a field value with other field values of the form. These validation are done by methods provided by the IntEnzValidations class, which acts as a central container for validations needed by the IntEnz curator web application.

The button actions which are supported at the moment are:

• adding/deleting of values
• updating UniProt xrefs
• retreiving information of a publication from PubMed (using a PubMed ID)

ActionMessages are being created if any errors occur during the execution of this Action. These messages will then be displayed on the form.

Furthermore this Action will check and set tokens to keep the session in a defined state.
