You can use standard HTML components in your Web pages. The standard
HTML components are listed under Form Tags in the Palette
view.
In addition to these components, the Table component
is also available for your use. This Table component appears as Simple
Table under iSeries Web Components in the Palette
view to distinguish it from the iSeries Table Web component.
All of these components need to be included within a FORM on your JSP page so that they appear as input and output fields in the Web Interaction wizard. The Simple Table can be included in the FORM, in contrast to the iSeries Table Web component, which must be outside of the FORM on the page.
The following table shows the iSeries Web components and the equivalent HTML components that are supported for Web interactions in iSeries Web applications. It also indicates the location of the HTML components in the Palette.
iSeries Web component | HTML component supported for Web interactions | Location of the HTML component in the Palette |
---|---|---|
Button | Submit Button | Form Tags |
Check Box | Check Box | Form Tags |
Combo Box | Drop-Down Box | Form Tags |
Hyperlink | - | - |

However, the Check Box, Radio Button, and Submit Button standard HTML components can only be linked to parameters in the Map and Link the Input Parameters to the Input Fields page in the Web Interaction wizard.
To restore the data, invoke the Web Interaction wizard to edit the Web interaction (you can double-click the interaction_name.wit file in your Web project to open the wizard), unlink the HTML components from the parameters in the wizard, and click Finish to run the wizard and to update the Web interaction. The original data that you defined for the HTML components is now available in the Attributes view.
