Re: WebFacing Resources (was Re: EAR/WAR Deployment)

Hi Mike,

As Mark as already indicated there is a main page (PageBuilder.jsp) into
which the 5250 screen is basically assembled.  You can edit that with
PageDesigner and make it look identical to your existing site.  If you
switch to the WebFacing perspective and bring up the properties for your
project there are a number of  things that you can tweak there in runtime
and conversion, easily change the DDS font and colour mappings to match
your existing site, etc.

I did a quick search with Google and came up with lots of hits but here is
some online info on mostly IBM sites:

before ;-)

Since you know what  a <title></title> is all about I'm sure you can have
your WebFace'd app looking just like the rest of your site in no time!


Kind regards,

Mike

Since we're on the topic of WebFacing, anyone have any good resources for
how to modify the output of WebFacing?

We're opening a new division and bought them a package, and we want to
WebFace (is that a legitimate verb?) parts of it to get them some web apps
quickly (we'll build stuff later, but they open for business on 9/1).

I've done a tiny bit of playing around with WebFacing, and it seems easy
enough to go through the wizard and get something WebFaced, but making
significant changes to the WebFaced output looks difficult.  For instance,
I can't figure out how to change the title of the WebFaced pages (I know,
it uses the Command Label you enter in the wizard, but why can't I throw a
<title></title> in there and have the browser display it?).

We'd like to get this stuff looking as much like the rest of our site as we
can.  If I could somehow create my own style that looks like the rest of
our site, that would be fantastic.

Thanks!

Mike E
