OpenEdge Application Server:<br />Developing WebSpeed Applications outputHeader

This procedure outputs a MIME header and any cookie information needed by the Web object.

Always run outputHeader before generating any HTML code. All new cookies must be created prior to the call to outputContentType that is embedded in outputHeader.

If one Web object is going to run another Web object, remember that only the Web object that actually creates the HTML page should run outputHeader.

Modify outtputHeader when you want a Web object to be state-aware or when you want to add special cookie information in your application. Instructions for doing both these tasks are provided in the template for this procedure. For state-aware Web objects, this procedure is a good place to set the webState and webTimeout attributes, as follows:

PROCEDURE `outputHeader` : \--------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose: Output the MIME header, and any "cookie" information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \ \* Make this a State-Aware web object with a 15 minutes timeout period \ setWebState(5.0). \ Create a standard HTML page. *\ outputContentType("text\html":U). END PROCEDURE.

PROCEDURE outputHeader :
\*---------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Output the MIME header, and any "cookie" information
----------------------------------------------------------------------*
\
\* Make this a State-Aware web object with a 15 minutes timeout period *\
setWebState(5.0).

\* Create a standard HTML page. *\
outputContentType("text\html":U). 
END PROCEDURE.

Examples: See the process-web-request function in web2\template\html-map.w.
