The Rogue Wave JViews TGO JSF library is a
set of JavaServer™ Faces components that allow you to display and
interact with business objects and data in the following formats:
- A network of nodes: the network JSF component.
- Items of equipment composed of cards, ports and LEDs: the equipment JSF component.
Like the
IlpNetwork
and
IlpEquipment
Swing components, the network and equipment JSF components share
the same architectural design. In a high-level abstraction, the
network and equipment JSF components play the role of the view ( IlpNetworkView and IlpEquipmentView) as they are responsible for
displaying the graphic representation of the model on the client
screen.
Like the
IlpNetworkView
and
IlpEquipmentView
, which are based on IlpGraphView, the network and equipment JSF
components are based on an iGraph that cannot be directly used in a
JSP™ file. This Graph component is
defined by a component abstract implementation,
IltFacesGraphView
, an abstract renderer,
IltFacesGraphViewRenderer
, and an abstract tag implementation,
IltFacesGraphViewTag
.
The Graph component is based on the
view
JSF component declared in the JViews Framework JSF library. It
inherits all the features and characteristics of the
view
JSF component. In addition, it extends its functionality to display
the specific JViews TGO
business objects by using an underlying
IlpGraphView
instead of a generic
IlvManagerView
. The following class diagram shows these dependencies:
