MapperXML Examples
This project includes some simple examples for building applications and using components. These are in the MapperEx directory of the distribution. The examples include:
| Form Name | Description |
| FirstPage | Some of the basics of ServletForms and a TextField. |
| ActionPage | How to respond to events from Triggers and other components. |
| InputPage | Input/output features using TextFields and VOValueHolder. |
| LookupPage | How to use Fields as parameters to lookup and display data. |
| OverridePage | How to override most of the ServletApp methods. |
| ParameterPage | How to use Parameters in a ServletForm. |
| SelectPage | The HTMLSelect component's basic use. |
| SelectPage2 | The SelectModel's use of multi-property list items (eg code/description) |
| ShowHidePage | How to show/hide parts of the XML/HTML document. |
| TemplatePage | How to use a Template and a VOCollectionValueHolder. |
| VOValueHolderPage | Basic use of a ValueHolder. |
| CheckboxPage | Basic use of an HTMLCheckbox. |
| ResponsePage | How to modify the ServletForm's response. You can send the html/xml document (default response), redirect the client to another page, send a stream to the client (eg send a file) or send a http response code. |
| UploadPage | Basic example for uploading a file to ServletForm. This is done using the built-in HttpMultiPartServletRequest feature of the ServletForm. |
| FormatPage | The basics of using formatting for fields. |
| InvoiceListPage | This example shows how to display hierarchical data (parent/child or master/detail). This display lists multiple invoices each of which have multiple line items. This example also shows how to use multiple views/documents within the same ServletForm (great for multi-language support). |
| RenderPage | This example shows how to customize the rendering process for ServletForms. When displaying multiple values in a list, you can customize the display for each items as it is rendered. |
| ComponentFactoryPage | This example shows how to use a ComponentFactory to automatically create and bind components. This eliminates the need to manually create a component for each element in the document you want to render. |
| CustomComponentPage | Example of creating and using a custom compound component for a Date field which is broken into 3 parts: month, day and year. |
| SubFormMasterPage | This example shows how to nest ServletForms. The main page includes other ServletForms to process and display sub-sections (header, footer, side bars, and content section). This feature provides a way to reuse sections in different pages, or a way to build "frame-less" frames. |
| InventoryPage | This example shows how to input multiple rows of data using the Template component and input components. Multiple rows of data are first displayed with the Template, then processed when the user submits their edits. |
(there may be additional examples in the current distrubution)
