The Application Defaults section is shown in the bottom left of the Application Map screen. This allows you to specify information that will be used for all the web pages in the application. By default, most of these settings are hidden from view, as they are of an advanced nature and usually do not need to be changed from the defaults. However, they can be displayed if the Show Advanced Options button is clicked. Screen shot of the Application Defaults
The followed options are available:
Select Skin - This is used to select the skin file that should be used by default for each page in this application. This is a web page wrapper that contains elements that are repeated on every page. For example, logos, menu items and so on. Once a file has been selected, you can click on the file name to quickly edit the contents of the skin file. Included Javascript Files - This section allows you to select client side javascript files for the project. For each file you should enter the location relative to the web application context. If all script files are placed within a 'js' directory for example, you would enter 'js/myfunctions.js'. Any files listed here will be included on every page within the project. Included CSS Files - Use this field to enter the names of the CSS files that should be imported by every generated web page in this application.
FormMaker allows you to Preview pages before they are deployed. When you generate the application or an individual page FormMaker creates an HTML instance of the page for preview purposes. You can change the preview location using the Preview Location and Preview URL values. For full details on how to set up the preview functionality see the Preview section.
Preview Location - This specifies the directory on the hard drive that is used to place generated web pages and supporting XML instance documents that are copied from FormMaker to enable the preview mechanism. This will usually be a webapp directory within the project that you are currently working on, residing under the repository (e.g. C:\jprogramfiles\hyfinity\design\repository\{workspace}\mvc\{project}\webapp). Preview URL - This should specify the URL that should be used to access the webapp being used for the preview. e.g. http://localhost:7070/Preview/{workspace}/mvc/{project}/webapp The Accessibility Level dropdown is for setting the default level of conformance to web accessibility standards. Double-A is selected by default, but users can select any one of four options, with None and Triple-A being the lowest and highest standards respectively. This field may be overridden by page-specific accessibility level settings. In the future, changes made on each page will be validated depending on the accessibility level of the relevant page, and a warning will ensue to alert users if the changes will result in pages that do not conform to that accessibility level. The Java Code Location entry can be used to specify the location of the Java classes that represent the code for Controllers that are designated as having the Java Implementation Type. The Package Name entry is linked to the Java Code Location item above. This enables Java Controller code to be packaged for each project. For more information on implementing Java Controllers please see the Advanced section within the MVC Overview documentation.
The Save button can be used to save any changes made on the Application Map screen without navigating off the page.
