configuration data in MII design

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I know there are many options to get and display data in MII. For the configuration data and master data, seems there is no applet for editting these data. Could you please give me some guideline to handle this kind of requirement? Should I use db to store these data or xml file? On the web UI seems HTML control is the only option.

Thanks,

Tony.

Tony,

The adminstration and system configuration is all accessible through jsp editor web pages from the Menu.jsp, what exactly do you mean by 'configuration data and master data'?

Hi Jeremy,

I mean the configuration and master data for certain project not the MII itself.

Mainly MII is for display data and all the template in MII are for the display. In our project customer want a configuration web page which let them insert, delete, modify and save data. How to design this kind of transaction. Should we store data in XML or DB? On the UI seems there is no MII applet for changing data.

Thanks

Tony,

in our projects we used a couple of ways to achieve data change. Here are some examples.

Text input from GUI

You define some input fields on your webpage. The user can click a button which calls a JS function that reads out the field values and calls a MII applet, transfering the values as parameters e.g. to a Xacute query or a command applet.

Change Text of grid cells

Display data in a MII grid. The user can select a row (or cell). You can then use a MII event (e.g. SelectionEvent) and call a JS function which gets the selected value. You may then use a popup window which displays the row data in text fields which may be edited by the user. After editing, the data can be stored by calling a Xacute like mentioned above.

I guess the way of changing data in MII 12.0 is always something like this:

- define tables in your db that hold the project data

- create a GUI with input fields as needed

- call applets that receive the user input and change the table contents
