Q:
How can I link from an HTML page to a page generated from IBM WebFacing tool?
A:
You can access specific webfaced components directly.
This is an enancement of WDSc 4.0 SP3.
You can read the documentation of this
function in the README file that you find in the
C:\YourWDSCDirectory
\install\help\readme.htm.
This is the topic you need:
Programmatic invocation support has been added for
programmers who are writing Web applications that will
call WebFacing applications running in
the same Web session. The calling application can forward
the following parameters to the WFLogon named servlet:
- clcmd - CL command to be called
- host - iSeries host name or IP address
- port - port number that the WebFacing server is listening to
- userid - user ID on the iSeries
- password - password on the iSeries
- inv - CL command .invocation properties file
For example, the above parameters can be forwarded
by constructing a URI as follows:-
WFLogon?clcmd=call%20ordentr&host=server1&port=4004
&userid=myname&password=mypwd
where:
%20 - is used to represent a space
in the URI.
|
The clmd, host, port, userid, and password properties will override
specified in the .invocation and WFApp.properties files. If you specify
invocation file name, you do not need to specify the other properties.
If you do not specify an invocation file name, the CL command must be
specified and any missing properties will be retrieved from the
WFApp.properties file for the project.
