Init Method

The Init method allows you to use different methods to customize a presentation model, such as AddMethod, AddNotificationHandler, AttachPMBinding, and so on. It uses the following syntax: 

Init()

For an example that uses Init, see Step 2 in the topic Overriding Predefined Methods in Presentation Models.

You must not configure Siebel Open UI to override any method that resides in a derived presentation model except for the Init method or the Setup method. For more information, see Deriving Presentation Models, Physical Renderers, and Plug-in Wrappers.

You must configure Siebel Open UI to do the following:

  • Call the Init method in the predefined presentation model before it calls the Init method in the derived presentation model.

  • Call the Setup method in the predefined presentation model before it calls the Setup method in the derived presentation model. For more information, see Setup Method for Presentation Models.
