Service Zone Type
You will usually use the ServiceZoneHandler, which also requires you to define a page service to provide the underlying business data for the zone. The ServiceZoneHandler is a powerful, generic handler that is suitable for a large number of practical zone implementations.
This handler:
• Retrieves a page service buffer and converts it to XML with appropriate localization
• Executes XSLT transform on the result
• Can display errors
• Is performance optimized with stylesheet caching
In a development environment you may want to flush the stylesheet cache. Simply invoke the flushPortalMetaInfo.jsp to clear it.
The following table describes the ServiceZoneHandler parameters:
Parameter
Description
SERVICE
The page service to retrieve data, e.g. CILFAFHP
XSLURL
Path to XSLT file (for example, WEB-INF/xsl/linkValueGrid.xsl)
Your files should be under /cm/xsl.
ALLOW_​GET_​ALL
Allow display of "Get All" button if the data that you want to show won't fit in one buffer.
KEY1 - KEY5
Defines required keys. If one of these keys is empty the zone is not rendered (unless null keys are allowed, see below).
ALLOW_​NULL_​KEYS
If ALLOW_​NULL_​KEYS is "Y", only one of the keys is required (any will work).
