10.2 Enabling Vibe Forms and Views to Reference JSP Files

10.2.1 Applying JSP Files to a Folder Entry Form and View

Folder entry forms are used to add folder entries to all types of Novell Vibe folders. Folder entry views are used to display folder entries in all types of Vibe folders. You can create your own folder entry forms and views, or modify existing forms and views. For more information, see Section 9.0, Designing Custom Folder Entry Forms.

To enable a folder entry form and view to reference a custom JSP file:

  1. Create a new custom folder entry form and view, as described in Section 8.2, Creating a New Custom Folder View.

    or

    Modify an existing folder entry form and view, as described in Section 9.4, Modifying an Existing Entry Form.

    Only Vibe administrators have the ability to modify default folder entry forms.

  2. Add a JSP layout option and element to the folder entry form, as described in Section 8.2.2, Adding Elements to the Folder Add/Modify Form.

  3. Specify the following information:

    Caption: Specify a name for the custom JSP.

    Data Name: Specify an internal name for the custom JSP.

    Custom Form JSP: Specify the filename of the custom JSP file.

    You must obtain this filename from your Vibe administrator. Only your Vibe administrator can make JSP files available to be used in the Vibe site.

10.2.2 Applying JSP Files to a Folder or Workspace View

Vibe enables you to create custom folder and workspace views. Folder and workspace views define what is displayed on the home page of your folder or workspace. When you create custom folder or workspace views, you can display optional features such as remote applications, attachments, and you can also reference JSP files. For more information, see Section 8.0, Creating Custom Folder Views, and Section 7.0, Creating Custom Workspace Views.

To enable a folder or workspace view to reference a custom JSP file:

  1. Create a new custom folder or workspace view, as described in Section 7.2, Creating a New Custom Workspace View.

    or

    Modify an existing folder or workspace view, as described in Section 7.3, Modifying an Existing Workspace View.

    Only Vibe administrators have the ability to modify default folder and workspace views.

  2. Add a JSP layout option and element to the folder or workspace view, as described in Section 8.2.3, Adding Elements to the Folder View or Section 7.2.3, Adding Elements to the Workspace View, depending on whether you are working with a folder or workspace view.
