You can define customized
command keys in your WebFacing application to invoke a Web service,
JSP, or html page. These command keys override the existing function
keys and can connect to a Web application URI or an external URL.
You might have already defined a JSP or service using a Web diagram,
in which case, you can use command key actions to invoke that object
or service.
For more information about command keys and related
WebFacing tasks, see Using Web Settings with your DDS source
To define an overriding action for a command key:
- In the WebFacing perspective, right-click your project,
select Properties and go to .
- Click Add.
- In the Command Key field, specify or select a function
key (F1 to F24).
- In the Action name field, describe
the resulting action.
- Enter the path of the internal or external service in the URI
or URL field.
- Specify or select the Target frame.
Selecting *NEW targets a new browser window. Selecting *SAME targets
the current window. Specifying an existing window name would target
that window.
- In the Button label field, enter
a button label for the service.
- Check the Enable only when the command key is
active check box to have your button appear selectively
according to the related function key. Otherwise, leave the box unchecked
to have your button appear on all screens.
- Click OK.
- Redeploy your WebFacing application.
- Restart the server.
Note: The WebFacing Tool does not give warnings if a function
key is already in use.
