Syntax

PowerBuilder dot notation:

Describe and Modify argument:

Parameter	Description
property	One of the following: PublishPath ResourceBase SessionSpecific
value	(exp) PublishPath – a string that specifies the physical path of the Web site folder to which the DataWindow server publishes the generated CSS style sheet (exp) ResourceBase – a string that specifies the URL of the generated CSS style sheet to be referenced in a link element in the XHTML page (exp) SessionSpecific – a boolean that when set to “yes” forces a session–specific ID to be applied to any generated document names that would otherwise be shared

Usage

The PublishPath folder must correspond to the URL specified
in the ResourceBase property. At runtime, after the DataWindow server generates
the CSS style sheet to the PublishPath folder, it includes it in
the final XHTML page by referencing it with the ResourceBase property
in a <link> element.

Typically you share style (CSS), layout (XSLT), and control
definitions (JS) for use by all clients; however, if you use dynamic
DataWindow objects customized for specific clients, you can force
generation of the DataWindow presentation–related document
names to be specific to each client. You do this by setting the
CSSGen.SessionSpecific property to “yes”. This
eliminates the possibility of server-side contention for presentation
formats when the DataWindow generation is specific to the client.

In the painter

In the Web Generation tab in the Properties view for the DataWindow
object, select CSS from the Format to Configure list, specify the Resource
Base and Publish Path locations, and check the Session-specific
CSS, XSLT and JS file names check box if you want to force generation
of client–specific names.
