Motivations

For the time being only delete action is possible on metadata, without session on this selection. This improvement allows user to navigate throw different tabs, keeping selected metadata in session.

Proposal

• 2. Selected metadata is added to selection manager :
  • 1. Selection manager is null
    • 1. new selection manager created for the type metadata
    • 2. selection manager set in session
    • 3. UUID of the selected metadata added in the new selection manager
  • 2. Selection manager is already existing in session
    • 1 . UUID of the selected metadata added in the existing selection manager

Parameters available for selection : all, none, true, false, single These parameters alloxs differents action on selection manager :

• all : select all metadata in result list (current searcher)
• none : remove all items from selection manager / reset
• true : add the specified item in selection
• false : remove the specified item from selection
• single : clear the selection and add selected element
