public class IndexSelect

extends Object

implements GadgetBuilder

The IndexSelect class is a gadget that builds an HTML select list of indices for a database. It uses the parameters contained in a RequestManager object and the parameters for the gadget read from the configuration files to build the appropriate output. If an error occurs, an empty string("") is returned.

The parameters to the gadget are:
setSelected = true/false
type = scan/query to indicate whether the selected index is from the entity scanindex or index
indexlist = the name of the list in the [IndexList] section of the database configuration file to use to build the list.
widgetName = the text appended to 'index' for the widget
selectsize = the size parameter for the selectList

For efficiency purposes, the index select string is generated one time for each database/gadgetName and saved in the gadget Hashtable object. Each subsequent request for the data is a table lookup to locate the appropriate string.
