iSeries Web components

Each iSeries Web component has a specific set of attributes associated with it. When you click on an iSeries Web component that is on the JSP page, the Properties view displays the attributes for that iSeries Web component. (If the Properties view is not open when you click on an iSeries Web component, right-click the iSeries Web component on the JSP page and select Properties.) The attributes for the iSeries Web components are grouped under tabs that represent the major attribute categories.

The attributes allow you to define the display characteristics of the iSeries Web component on the Web page. (Use the Web Interaction wizard to specify whether the iSeries Web component is used for input or output.)
Restriction: iSeries Web component naming:
  • You can copy and paste to duplicate an iSeries Web component on your JSP page. However, you must ensure that you change the name (in the Name field for the component in the Properties view) for the copied iSeries Web component.
  • The first character in the name of your iSeries Web component cannot be uppercase. However, a character in the middle of the name can be uppercase, for example: myComp.
  • If the first character must be uppercase, then the second character has to be uppercase as well for the iSeries Web component to function properly, for example: MYcomp.
  • iSeries Web component names must be valid Java variable names. For example, you cannot name a component my.comp. Instead, you need to use something like mycomp.
  • You cannot name an iSeries Web component the same name as a Java reserved word.

In addition to iSeries Web components, you can use the standard HTML components on your Web pages. These standard HTML components are included in the base product and are available under Form Tags in the Palette. See Standard HTML components for a description of these components.

The following table indicates the tabs that appear in the Properties view for each iSeries Web component. Although several of the iSeries Web components have the same tabs in the view, the attributes on that tab may differ.

Note: The General tab will have a different label, depending on the component selected.
