Example: Using WebObjectComponent to Display Object Information

The following vmo:ListPane component displays information about the objects it lists in an HTML page

called panel.html:

<p jwcid="@vmo:ListPane"

action="getVirtualMachineList"

actionParameters="attribute:vmFolder"

detailUrl="./panel.html"/>

The panel.html file contains a reference to a Web view component called DisplayVmInfo:

The DisplayVmInfo.jwc component specification file implements the WebObjectComponent Java class:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE component-specification PUBLIC

"-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification 4.0//EN"

"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_4_0.dtd">

<component-specification class="ch.dunes.web.webview.components.WebObjectComponent">

</component-specification>

The DisplayVmInfo.html component template file uses WebObjectComponent.get() methods in OGNL

statements to display object properties in panel.html:

<tr>

<td>Virtual machine name</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Object ID</td>

</tr>

Orchestrator Tapestry Component Library

Orchestrator has a library of Tapestry components that you can reference in Web views. You can also use all

of the components that the Tapestry Framework 4.0 standard defines.

All of the Tapestry components in the Orchestrator library have the prefix vco:, to distinguish these

components from the components that the standard Tapestry framework provides.

The components in the Orchestrator Web view component library require different properties to display

different types of information in the Web view. In the property tables for each component, asterisks (*)

denote mandatory properties.
