The atg.epub.servlet.SegmentAssetFormHandler lets you create and update segment assets. Each segment is made up of properties and property values called characteristics. You can add and remove characteristics from your segments using this form handler.
This class uses a request-scoped component that temporarily stores its contents in the session-scoped asset info component defined for a given page. That way, one SegmentAssetFormHandler component can service all form pages that are able to work with segment assets. ATG Content Administration includes one component of this class called /atg/epub/servlet/SegementAssetFormHandler.
Instead of creating pages that explicitly use this form handler, you create an item mapping that associates this form handler component with an asset type. The forms in JSPs rely on an asset editor to read the item mapping so that, when a user requests a segment asset, for example, the SegmentAssetFormHandler is used.
By default, the SegmentAssetFormHandler is available in the following contexts:
Editing asset properties in
assetEditPage.jspViewing asset properties in the Asset tab of
assetPropertyView.jspfViewing asset properties in the Asset Browser of
assetBrowserAssetDetail.jsp
