The ch.dunes.web.webview.components.WebObjectComponent class provides methods to obtain information from objects in the Orchestrator server. The WebObjectComponent class extends WebviewComponent.

You use the WebObjectComponent class in conjunction with vmo:ListPane components.

The vmo:ListPane component inserts a list of objects into a Web view. To display information about an object in the list in another Web view page or panel, the HTML file that displays that information must contain a Web view component that implements the WebObjectComponent class.

The WebObjectComponent class defines the following methods that obtain properties from objects in the Orchestrator server.

WebObjectComponent()

The following vmo:ListPane component displays information about the objects it lists in an HTML page called panel.html:

<p jwcid="@vmo:ListPane"
					action="getVirtualMachineList"
					actionParameters="attribute:vmFolder"
					detailUrl="./panel.html"/>

The panel.html file contains a reference to a Web view component called DisplayVmInfo:

<vmo jwcid="@DisplayVmInfo" urlParameter="itemId" />

The DisplayVmInfo.jwc component specification file implements the WebObjectComponent Java class:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE component-specification PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification 4.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_4_0.dtd">
<component-specification class="ch.dunes.web.webview.components.WebObjectComponent">
</component-specification>

The DisplayVmInfo.html component template file uses WebObjectComponent.get() methods in OGNL statements to display object properties in panel.html:

<table width="200" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>Virtual machine name</td>
    <td><vmo jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:get('name')"/></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Object ID</td>
    <td><vmo jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:get('id')"/></td>
  </tr>
