Class FileProperty

java.lang.Object
ca.corbett.extras.properties.AbstractProperty
ca.corbett.extras.properties.FileProperty

public class FileProperty extends AbstractProperty
Represents a property field to allow selection of a file. By default, any file (existing or not) will be allowed. You can specify a FileField.SelectionType if you want to allow only existing or only non-existing files, or you can add a FormFieldGenerationListener to intercept the FormField and add your own FieldValidator to it to only allow files with a certain extension or whatever.
