Usage

At runtime, GenerateXHTML performs the tasks required to generate the dynamic XHTML, including retrieving the action context and generating the XHTML inline. Connection errors, including database error messages, are also generated inline.

The GenerateXHTML method delivers the DataWindow in XHTML to the client browser and it generates a CSS style sheet and JS files that are cached on the client side and referenced in the XHTML source.

Examples

Example 1

The following JSP example specifies subdirectories of the current application directory to publish the CSS and JS components of the Web DataWindow and generates the DataWindow in XHTML:

String resourceBase = request.getScheme() + "://" +
   request.getServerName() + ":" +
   request.getServerPort() + request.getContextPath();

String publishPath = application.getRealPath("/");

dwGen.Modify("DataWindow.CSSGen.ResourceBase = '" +
   resourceBase + "/css'");

dwGen.Modify("DataWindow.CSSGen.PublishPath = '" +
   publishPath + "css'");dwGen.Modify("DataWindow.JSGen.ResourceBase = '" +
   resourceBase + "/js'");

dwGen.Modify("DataWindow.JSGen.PublishPath = '" +
   publishPath + "js'");

String dwXHTML = dwGen.GenerateXHTML();
out.print (dwXHTML);
