Creating a Node Children Table Provider

Designing and Implementing Composite Applications : webMethods CAF and OpenCAF Development Help : Working with JCR Providers : Creating a Node Children Table Provider

The JCR Client Attachments Provider enables you to access a folder in My webMethods Server, or other JCR that includes detailed information about the contents of the folder. You can also open, add, delete, or modify the files contained in the folder.

You must enable the JCR client for your CAF application before you can use a JCR provider. See Enabling the JCR Client for a CAF Application

When you create the Node Children Table Provider, Composite Application Framework performs the following:

Component	Description
New provider	A new provider is added to the Bindings view and configured to work with the repository manager in the current session.
Auto Save	The Auto Save setting for the provider is set to true, which automatically saves changes.
Parent ID	When you drag a folder from the My webMethods Server view, the Parent ID is set to the My webMethods Server folder that is used. If you drag a folder from the Palette view, you need to set this property manually.
Table	A Table is added to the user interface that includes default columns of Path, Name, and ID.
