9.1.4 Types of Web Components

LANSA for the Web supports the following types of Web components for use with Web Functions:

Manually Defined Components:

• 9.2.1 Banner

• 9.2.2 Text

• 9.2.3 Web Link

• 9.2.4 Page

• 9.2.5 Script

Generated components:

• 9.3.1 Visual Web Component (Check Box , Drop Down, List Box, Radio Buttons).

• 9.3.4 File Web Component

The type of component determines how LANSA handles the Web component.

Manually defined Web components required the component definitions to be entered by the developer. For example, the developer must enter the JavaScript used in the Script component.

Generated Web components have their component definitions automatically created by LANSA for the Web. For example, LANSA for the Web will automatically generate the HTML for a Visual drop down component.
