With Orchestrator, you can create custom Tapestry Web view components to perform orchestration functions from Web pages. A Tapestry Web view component conforms to the Tapestry Framework standard version 4.0.
A Tapestry Web view component must contain a component specification file and a component template.
The Tapestry component template file and the component specification must have the same name. For example, if you name a component template MyComponent.html, you must name the associated component specification MyComponent.jwc. Web view components that you use in different Web views that run in the same server must have unique names.
You must save the component files in the components folder in the Web view file structure. If you create subfolders in the components folder, you must specify the full path to a component when you set the jwcid attribute in HTML pages. For example, if you include a MyBorder component in a <WebView_Folder>\components\layout\ subfolder, you must set the jwcid attribute, as the following example shows:
<div jwcid="@layout/MyBorder">
You can precede the @ character with a unique identifier. With the unique identifier, you can reuse the class throughout the HTML page, by referencing the unique identifier.
In the following example, the component is Border and the unique identifier is myBorderComponent.
<div jwcid="myBorderComponent@MyBorder">
■
| A Tapestry component specification file is a JWC file that refers to the Tapestry DTD definition and to the Java class that specifies the behavior of the component. |
■
| A Tapestry component template file is an HTML file that defines the layout of a Web view component. |
■
| The ch.dunes.web.webview.WebviewComponent class is the main class for Web view components. All Web view component specification JWC files must implement this class. |
■
| The ch.dunes.web.webview.WebviewPage class provides methods that you call in OGNL expressions in Web view component template HTML files. |
■
| The ch.dunes.web.webview.components.WebObjectComponent class provides methods to obtain information from objects in the Orchestrator server. The WebObjectComponent class extends WebviewComponent. |
