Maybe the standard way of offering online help - displaying a modal pop-up containing corresponding text - is not the one that you want to use for your application. Maybe you want to open the help in a certain frame of a frameset definition or maybe you want to pass context information of your current adapter into the help system.

In this case, you can use the interface com.softwareag.cis.onlinehelp.IExtendedOHManager:

public interface IExtendedOHManager
{
    public void processOnlineHelpRequest(Adapter requestingAdapter,
                                         String project,
                                         String page,
                                         String helpId,
                                         String language);
}
