Web-Related Objects

---

This section provides a general description of the Web-related objects in Siebel Tools.

• Web Page. Defines attributes that are mapped to a Web page template. Web pages contain views and other persistent objects. The relationship between a Web page and a view is established using tags within the Web Page SWT template. Web Page objects/templates are also used for displaying Login, Error pages, and so on.
• Web Page Item. Item that can be shown on a Web page. Similar to control, except it is not placed on an applet.
• Web Page Item Parameter. Parameter of the Web Page Item. Definition varies depending on the item. For example, for a page item that has Invoked Method set to GoToView, an optional parameter is view, and its value is the name of the destination view.
• Web Template. Establishes a relationship between a representation of an SWT file in the repository and the actual file stored in a file directory.
• View Web Template. Establishes an association between a parent View object and a Web Template. Each View object can have at most one View Web Template child.
• View Web Template Item. Siebel Applets mapped to View Template.
• Applet Web Template. Establishes an association between a parent Applet and a Web Template. There are four types: Base, Edit, New, and Query, corresponding to the record operation performed within each. Applets may have several Edit and New Applet Web Templates but will have at most one Base and Query Applet Web Template.
• Applet Web Template Item. List items, applet controls, and Web controls that belong to Applet Web Template.
• Applet Server Script. Script associated with an Applet that is exposed in an application (through one or more Applet Web Templates). Web scripts can be used to modify output from the Siebel Web Engine (SWE) before it is sent to the browser.

Table 37 describes the new Web-related properties of existing Siebel objects.

Table 37.  Existing Siebel Objects with New Web-Related Properties

Web-related Control Attributes	Description
HTML Display Mode	Values are: DontEncodeData. Leaves the data as is. This is useful if the configurators wish to put their own HTML in the Caption property and expose the caption to the Web page. EncodeData. Let Siebel Web Engine convert data into HTML format. FormatData. Replace the data. By default, <CR> is replaced with <BR>.
HTML Row Sensitive	Used to indicate to the SWE that it must reposition the Applet on the correct row before invoking the method defined in the MethodInvoked property. Within applets there are controls which can invoke methods. Some of these methods require the existence of a current row before the method can be invoked. For example, DeleteRecord, EditRecord require a specific record, and NewRecord, ExecuteQuery do not. If you set this to TRUE, SWE will try to locate the record first before invoking the method. If the method for your control does not need the current row, you must set it to FALSE. If set incorrectly, SWE may return an error message. For these methods HTML Row Sensitive should be set to TRUE: CopyRecord, DeleteRecord, Drilldown, EditField, EditRecord, PickRecord, UndoRecord, WriteRecord, and GetImage. For these methods HTML Row Sensitive should be set to FALSE: CloseApplet, AddRecord, CreateRecord, ExecuteQuery, ExecuteSort, Find, GotoFirstSet, GotoLastSet, GotoNextSet, GotoPreviousSet, NewQuery, NewRecord, NewSort, ResetRecord, SortAscending, SortDescending, and SortOrder.
HTML Type	The type to be used in the Web client. Values are Button, CheckBox, ComboBox, File, Hidden, Label, Link, Mailto, Password, Text, TextArea, and URL. Used by the Web engine only when the corresponding placeholder tag appears within a form tag. For information on HTML control types, see Table 34.
Method Invoked	Siebel Method invoked by the control (frequently used for buttons). Some methods require a Control or List Column User property to specify an argument. For example, the GotoView method requires that the destination view be specified in a User Property.
Field	Field which will be used to retrieve data from the business component.
Caption	Used with corresponding tags to display the Caption value of the control or list column. If necessary, the Caption property can be used to store unformatted HTML tags. For example a help button might have the following value for its Caption property: <a href="help/Siebel_eBusiness_Help.htm" target=_blank>Help</a>
