Extending the Web Access Palette

You can extend Web Access functionality by adding site-wide applications to the Web Access application palette. You can add an application by editing selector.button statements in the Web Access properties file.

To add an application to Web Access:

  1. Open the following file.

 
/opt/SUNWwa/properties/realm.Sims.properties
 

  2. Add the following lines of code.

 
selector.button<button-num>.method=<button-class> 
selector.button<button-num>.href=<href-definition>
selector.button<button-num>.img=<button-icon-image>
selector.button<button-num>.alt=<button-alt-text-value>
selector.button<button-num>.targ=<button-targ>
 

  where button-class specifies the Java servlet object class which will be invoked to fetch the appropriate HTML for the button. The remaining configuration items should be sufficiently self-explanatory.
Buttons may be removed from the selector by deleting the appropriate selector.button statements. In any case, buttons must be numbered sequentially, 0 through n, and will be displayed in a corresponding top to bottom fashion.
