SubForm control type
The SubForm control type provides a means to use custom user interfaces for complex multi-valued attributes.
This control type is used infrequently by some IBM® Security Identity Manager adapters.
SubForm is a special control type used to start a servlet, JSP, or static HTML page from a window that opens from a custom IBM Security Identity Manager form. Use subforms to submit an arbitrary number of parameter names and values to a custom servlet or JSP. They are used to create custom user interfaces for complex multi-valued attributes.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
customServletURI |
The URI to the servlet, JSP, or static HTML
page to be started from the main form. If a servlet is implemented
and deployed in the default web application for IBM Security Identity Manager,
the value for this parameter is the same as the URL-pattern value
defined byweb.xml in the servlet-mapping tag,
without the slash (/). If a JSP is implemented, the value for this
parameter is the JSP file name that includes the jsp file extension.
This parameter is required on all subforms. |
Servlet name or JSP file name such as sample.jsp |
Parameter Name |
Arbitrary parameter name and value that is included
in the HTTP request that starts the resource at customServletURI.
