Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Developing WebSpeed Applications

Adding a template to AppBuilder

The following shows the contents of install-path/src/template/web.cst, which defines the entries in the AppBuilder New dialog box:

web.cst 

/* web.cst - WebSpeed 3.0 custom objects file */ *NEW-WEBOBJECT HTML Mapping NEW-TEMPLATE src/web2/template/html-map.w *NEW-WEBOBJECT Report NEW-TEMPLATE src/web2/template/wreport.w *NEW-WEBOBJECT Detail NEW-TEMPLATE src/web2/template/wdetail.w *NEW-WEBOBJECT Blank NEW-TEMPLATE src/web/template/script.html *NEW-WEBOBJECT CGI Wrapper NEW-TEMPLATE src/web2/template/wrap-cgi.w *NEW-WEBOBJECT Frameset NEW-TEMPLATE src/web/template/frameset.html *NEW-WEBOBJECT Main NEW-TEMPLATE src/web/template/main.html *NEW-WEBOBJECT Report Template NEW-TEMPLATE src/web/template/browse.html *NEW-WEBOBJECT Table NEW-TEMPLATE src/web/template/table.html

If you created a new, customized template, you could add the template to your menu by adding a label and a pathname to the web.cst file.

Note: Generally you would use one of the templates referenced in web.cst as the basis for a new template. However, be aware that embedded SpeedScript templates require an additional .dat file. For example, wreport.w references a file named brwstmpl.dat. Within brwstmpl.dat there are specifications for input fields in the wizard. These specifications are surrounded by double pound signs (##). For more information on how to customize the AppBuilder, see the Progress AppBuilder Developer’s Guide.
