Interface StructuredContent

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

StructuredContentImpl

public interface StructuredContent
extends Serializable

StructuredContent implementations provide a representation of a generic content item with a set of predefined fields. The fields associated with an instance of StructuredContent are defined by its associated StructuredContentType.
StructuredContent items are typically maintained via the Broadleaf Commerce admin.
Display structured content items is typically done using the DisplayContentTag taglib.
An typical usage for StructuredContent is to display targeted ads. Consider a StructuredContentType of "ad" with fields "ad-image" and "target-url". This "ad" might show on a websites home page. By adding StructuredContentMatchRules and setting the priority, different ads could be shown to different users. It would not be typical in a Broadleaf implementation to extend this interface or to use any implementation other than StructuredContentImpl.

Map<String,StructuredContentField> getStructuredContentFields()

Gets a map with the custom fields associated with this content item.
The map keys are based on the field types. For example, consider a content item with a StructuredContentType of ad which defined a field named targetUrl. The field could be accessed with structuredContentItem.getStructuredContentFields().get("targetUrl")
