I have added a new ScreenCondition in the ModelScreenCondition.java as follows:
public static class IfEmptyDecoratorSection extends ScreenCondition {
protected FlexibleStringExpander decoratorSectionExdr;
public IfEmptyDecoratorSection(ModelScreen modelScreen,
Element condElement) {
super (modelScreen, condElement);
this.decoratorSectionExdr =
FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(condElement.getAttribute("decorator-section"));
}
@Override
public boolean eval(Map<String, Object> context) {
Debug.logWarning("if-empty-decorator-section TEST", module);
return false;
}
}
but I do not understand how to actually check for the decorator
section being empty or not.
Could somebody help me?
Thank you,
Bruno
