Using Gadgets to Render the Task Detail Page in webMethods Business Console
Instead of using Composite Application Framework portlets, you can use gadgets to render the task detail page in webMethods Business Console. To do so, you add a gadget to an existing task in Designer.
Before adding a gadget to a task, you must:
1. Create the task in a task application project. For more information about creating tasks, see
Creating Tasks.
2. Create one or more gadgets in the task application project. For more information about creating gadgets for webMethods Business Console, see webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development Help.
To add a gadget to a task
1. Open the task in the task editor by double-clicking the task in the Solutions view.
2. On the Overview tab, in the User interfaces area, click Gadgets, and then click Attach.
3. In the Gadgets field of the Attach Task Detail Gadget wizard, select a task detail gadget from the drop-down list.
4. Click OK.
Designer displays the gadget in the Gadgets folder.
Note:
You can attach only one gadget to a task. If you want to attach another gadget, you must first delete the previously attached gadget from the Gadgets folder.
