About 4GL JSP pages
4GL JSP pages are
enhanced Web pages that incorporate extensions to the Web Target
object model to generate template (source) code for dynamic Web
pages. 4GL JSP pages rely on the object model to handle the complexities
of data transfer, HTML generation, and Java or JavaScript generation
for server scripts. With many of the implementation details taken
care of for you, you can concentrate on designing your pages and coding
the application logic.
4GL JSP pages integrate with other Web pages on your Web site.
They are suitable for sharing data with other pages across your
site and accessing components installed on EAServer.
4GL JSP pages provide enhanced support for Web DataWindow objects
on HTML or JSP pages. You cannot hand-code a Web DataWindow on a
4GL JSP page.
4GL JSP pages can be deployed to EAServer,
Tomcat, or other JSP 1.2 servers that support command line deployment.
4GL JSP pages help you:
- Manage page data among Web pages (using
page parameters, page variables, and session variables) - Access data from EAServer components
- Bind data to controls on your page
- Manage page navigation
- Create server scripts with minimal coding effort
