Module bea.wlp.disc.xie

This module defines public APIs for Disc's "XMLHttpRequest Interaction Engine" (XIE), which is the client-side foundation for Ajax-driven interactions with WebLogic Portal (WLP). XIE is also the platform on which various other Ajax-based, public Disc APIs are implemented, including bea.wlp.disc.io.XMLHttpRequest and bea.wlp.disc.publishing.PortletSource.

XIE's public API can be divided into two main areas:

XIE Events: found in bea.wlp.disc.xie.Events.*, these global events are fired when Ajax requests are made to WLP, and as subsequent responses are processed; these events provide public access to the underlying client-server interaction lifecycle
Async Request Overlay: found at bea.wlp.disc.xie.AsyncRequestOverlay, this object provides control over the blocking overlay introduced on a page by some XIE-driven interactions
