Web pages perform the role of the user interface for your Web application. You can use iSeries Web development tools to create the pages for your iSeries Web applications in the following ways:
Design your Web pages using the Page Designer editor
Page Designer is the default editor you use when editing the JSP files that are used as the input and output pages of your Web application. The JSP files are contained in your Web project. You can use the features of the editor to make the pages as sophisticated and advanced as you want. When you are ready, you use the Web Interaction wizard to do the following:
Generate the Web pages using the Web Interaction wizard
When you use the Web Interaction wizard to generate the pages, the pages are saved as JSP files in your Web project. The wizard adds Web component controls to the JSPs, and generates the Java classes for you. The JSP files provide a minimal amount of function and usability. However, after the files are created, you can edit them to modify the existing iSeries Web components, to modify page display properties, to add images, and to update the text on the page and the labels on the buttons. If you change any of the links for the fields, or the host program name, then you can rerun the Web Interaction wizard to update the coding in the JSP files and to regenerate the iSeries run-time classes.
