In many cases, you want to run Application Designer pages inside your own environments that are outside of Application Designer.
The requirements of other workplace/portal environments are:
Pages must be accessible by URLs.
There must be a possibility to pass information to pages. For example, user management is provided by a portal management. The result (the name of the user who is currently logged in) should be passed to applications for further processing.
To call Application Designer pages with a URL: normally each single Application Designer page can be called individually with a corresponding URL. "Normally" means that this is true from the Application Designer perspective - maybe it is not completely true from your application’s perspective: one page requires a certain page to be run first, etc.
To call an Application Designer page, simply use the following URL:
http://<host>:<port>/cis/StartCISPage?PAGEURL=<pageURL>
Replace the <pageURL> with the URL of the wanted Application Designer page and it will be opened.
For information on additional parameters that you can pass via the StartCISPage servlet, see Appendix E - StartCISPage Servlet .
You can append any number of parameters to the URL mentioned in the
previous section. Each parameter consists of the sequence
"&<paramName>=<paramValue>".
If you want to pass the customerId to a
"customer detail" page, the URL would look like:
http://<host>:<port>/cis/StartCISPage?PAGEURL=/appxyz/customerdetail.html&customerId=4711
Each parameter is bound to a corresponding property of the page
adapter. For example, the "customer detail" page is hooked on the
adapter CustomerDetailAdapter. Therefore, it must
provide a corresponding customerId property to
which the parameter is passed at runtime:
public class CustomerDetailAdapter extends Adapter
{
...
public void setCustomerId(String value)
{
...
}
...
}
