Overriding ViewObjectImpl::rowQualifies(...) for in memory filtering of child nodes of a tree component

You can override ViewObjectImpl::rowQualifies(ViewRowImpl vr) for filtering the uncommitted data rows based on some specific business use cases/conditions. This feature is pretty useful if you need to filter the child rows having uncommitted changes while executing the ViewLink(s). I'm sharing a simple example illustrating the usage of ViewObjectImpl::rowQualifies(ViewRowImpl vr) for filtering the rows in memory. Requirement is to not to show the Employee nodes of a 'Department-Employee Tree' component having status='DELETE'(even before committing the transaction). This example overrides rowQualifies(...) to restrict the employee entities with 'DELETED' status from adding to the query result.

 
/**  
 * Evaluates whether the view row qualifies the view object's row match  
 * and in-memory filter view criteria.  
 * <p>  
 *  
 * This method is invoked on new view rows as well as view rows coming  
 * from query to see if the view row should be added to the query collection.  
 *  
 * @param  vr  the view row to examine.  
 * @return a <code>boolean</code> value indicating whether the row qualifies  
 *     or not.  
 */  
 @Override  
 protected boolean rowQualifies(ViewRowImpl vr) {  
  Object attrValue =vr.getAttribute("StatusFlag");  
  if (attrValue != null) {  
   if ("DELETE".equals(attrValue))  
      return false;  
   else  
      return true;  
  }  
  return super.rowQualifies(vr);  
 }

How to run this sample?

Run test.jspx. This page may let you to update the status of the employee entities by selecting a value from the 'status' list. Please note that 'Department-Employee' tree doesn't displays employee entities with 'DELETE' status. This is controlled by EmployeesViewImpl::rowQualifies(ViewRowImpl vr) method.
