Update / 24.10.2014
Small corrections for the component, eg. opening the same window again is working, and there is a fallback option in case the window is already opened.
Purpose
Generic Drag & Drop Control for all use cases. I have styled it a bit, now it can be used.
This component is created as response to APPLICATION.openNewWindow when upper limit to URL length is hit
How does it looks like?
the URL boundaries (2048 characters or so) can be only overcome via POST method.
Available Properties
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| url | Url which should be opened |
| windowId | NEW (24.10.2014) Id for the window (same id means that the window can be reused) |
| fallbackSencario | NEW (24.10.2014) option to decide what to do in case the window is already open |
Scripting Functions (preview)
| Scripts | Short Description |
|---|---|
void setWindowId ( /**window id*/String windowId) | NEW (24.10.2014) you can set window id to open more windows |
void setUrl ( /**url*/String url) | NEW (24.10.2014) you can set the url per script |
void triggerExecution () | triggers the execution of opening the URL |
void addParameter ( /**name*/String name, /**value*/String value) | allows to add parameters to the URL via name / value pairs |
| void removeAllParameters () | removes all parameters |
Example Implementation for this call:
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.removeAllParameters();
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.setUrl("http://localhost:55555/aad/web.do");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("APPLICATION", "SDK_OPENWINDOW_POST");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("designersessionid", "25d9c2721c084d8c98684721835379d8");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.triggerExecution();Comparison before and after
Assumption:
you want to call URL http://localhost:8080/web.do?P1=V1&P2=V2
Technical View:
URL: http://localhost:8080/web.do
Param1: P1
Value1: V1
Param2: P2
Value2: V2
Your code before:
var url = "http://localhost:8080/web.do"; url = url + "?"; url = url + "P1" + "=" + "V1"; url = url + "P2" + "=" + "V2"; APPLICATION.openNewWindow(url);
Your code after:
1) in Properties View you have tto set the url property to "http://localhost:8080/web.do"
2) in script you need to add all parameters:
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.removeAllParameters();
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("P1", "V1");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.addParameter("P2", "V2");
OPENWINDOWPOST_1.triggerExecution();This code will create a "form" in browser and submit the content via POST.
