How to use the XML Web DataWindow

The easiest way to use the XML Web DataWindow in your Web
applications is to do the following:

1. Create a new DataWindow object or select an existing
   DataWindow object that you want to display in a Web browser.

   For information, see “Designing DataWindow objects
   for the Web DataWindow”.

2. Set JavaScript Generation properties for the static
   JavaScript of the XML Web DataWindow if you have not already done
   so.

   For information, see “Using JavaScript caching
   for Web DataWindow methods”.

   Reusing static JavaScript for the XML Web DataWindow

   If you are using the static JavaScript caching feature that
   was introduced with the HTML Web DataWindow, then you must regenerate
   and redeploy this static JavaScript for the XML Web DataWindow (and
   the XHTML Web DataWindow). You need to do this only once.

3. In the Web server’s root publishing folder,
   create distinct Web publishing folders (for static JavaScript) and
   JavaScript publishing folders (for dynamic JavaScript) and set the
   Web and JavaScript Generation properties (that point to these folders)
   for your DataWindow.

   If you do not create these folders, the generator creates
   them for you. If you do not set these properties, then the default
   object model creates a temp publishing folder _tmp automatically.

4. In the Java implementation for your JSP page, ensure
   you are calling the GenerateXMLWeb method on the server component
   to request the XML generation format.

   The XML generation format results in the separate generation
   of data and presentation in XML and XSLT for transformation to XHTML,
   and is the optimal format for the XML Web DataWindow.

   For an example of a JSP page calling the GenerateXMLWeb method,
   see the XML WebDataWindow Code Sample in the DataWindow N-Tier section
   on the CodeXchange Web site
   .

5. Display the results in the browser by typing in
   the URL.
