Presentation JSP Tag Attributes

Use the Presentation JSP tag to define a ThinCrosstab, ThinGraph, or ThinTable. You can use the scripting variables that are created by this tag to get and set properties of a thin presentation bean, which can also be referred to as a view.

There are three ways to specify the presentation that belongs with this tag:

Attributes

id -- (Required) A unique identifier for this tag.

scope -- Determines the accessibility and lifetime of the tag object; select one of the following values: Page, Request, Session, or Application. Typically, use Session, which is the default value.

location -- Specifies the path and name of the object definition for a view that is to be opened from the BI Beans Catalog; optionally use the Browse button in the Value column to locate the definition. If your JSP application uses an ExplorerDetail tag to allow users to select a presentation to open, then you do not need to set this attribute. The ExplorerDetail tag will set it, from the user's choice. Note: This attribute is ignored if the newViewType attribute is set.

newViewType -- Specifies the view type if you want to create a new view; select from one of the following values: Table, Crosstab, or Graph. The new view uses a default query and takes precedence over any information that was specified in the location attribute.

pagingControlVisible -- Indicates whether to display the paging control for the view. If you set this attribute to true, then ensure that you create a Find Member dialog using the FindMember tag. If you set this attribute to false, then you do not need a Find Member dialog.

referenceId -- Specifies the identifier of an existing instance of a view that is to be used by this tag; used when referring to a view that was defined in another JSP page.  Note: This attribute is ignored unless both the newViewType attribute and the location attribute are not specified.

findMemberPage -- Specifies the name of a JSP page that contains a Find Member dialog. This page must not be the same as the page that contains the presentation. You need a Find Member dialog whenever you set the pagingControlVisible attribute to true.

findMemberId -- Specifies the unique identifier of a FindMember tag for this presentation. You need a Find Member dialog whenever you set the pagingControlVisible attribute to true. The FindMember tag must be in the page that is specified by the findMemberPage attribute. This attribute is meaningful only if the findMemberPage attribute is specified.
