Overview of client-side development

After creating the server (see Developing the server), you can create the client side. The Rogue Wave® JViews JavaScript Web application support allows you to build a JavaScript client easily. The static nature of HTML limits the interactivity of Web pages. JavaScript allows you to create more interactive and engaging Web pages. It gives content providers new controls and allows them to manipulate the contents of HTML pages through scripting.

Rogue Wave JViews provides a set of components written in JavaScript™ that allows you to build your JavaScript pages very easily. The JavaScript files are located in <installdir> /jviews-framework89/lib/thinclient/javascript.

Important

This sample is compatible with the browsers and browser versions listed in the Release notes under Requirements for running Web applications.

The JavaScript client for the XML Grapher example includes most of the JavaScript components. The full HTML file for the XML Grapher example is located in <installdir> /jviews-framework89/samples/xmlgrapher/index.html.

The full reference documentation of each component can be found in the JavaScript Reference Manual located in <installdir> /jviews-framework89/doc/html/en-US/refjsf/html/index.html.
