Information about a usecase view.

Version:
$Id: UsecaseView.java 587463 2007-10-23 11:58:57Z nettings $

Example configuration:

<view uri="/modules/foo/usecases/foo-mogrify.jx"
     customFlow="/modules/foo/flow/myflow.js"
     menu="false|true"
     createContinuation="false|true"
 >
   <tab group="foo" name="bar"/>      // optional
   <parameter name="foo" value="bar/> // optional
 </view>

uri is the relative URL of the page to be sent back to the client. If the URI starts with a slash, it is resolved starting at the root sitemap, otherwise it is resolved relative to the current sitemap. The URI should not contain a scheme (such as cocoon:).

menu is a boolean that governs whether the Lenya GUI menu is displayed while the usecase is running. The displaying of the menu is handled by the usecase.xmap sitemap; hence this option is only functional if uri does not start with a slash (or if you implement it yourself based on the showMenu() method of this object).
Default is false.

customFlow is a javascript file where you can provide custom methods that will override those in the default usecase handler (modules-core/usecase/usecases.js). Currently, it provides support for "customLoopFlow" and "customSubmitFlow". Refer to the default handler for function prototypes and more information. NB: the "menu" and "createContinuation" attributes will have no effect when you use custom flow code, unless you check for them and implement the respective functions yourself.

createContinuation can be set to false, in which case the generic flowscript uses "sendPage" instead of "sendPageAndWait" and terminates after the view has been sent. When createContinuation is false, you must not specify submitFlow or loopFlow.
Default is true.

For tabbed usecases, you can optionally specify a tab group and name. Additional custom configuration can be passed via the generic "parameter" element.

For backwards compatibility with existing usecases, the constructor looks for a template attribute if no uri is present. It is mapped to the same field, viewUri, internally.
