To work with a data source, you must first configure it using the Configure Data Sources
dialog box.
About this task
The Web UI Framework
does not use XML binding. The Configure Data Sources dialog box works
with only JSON data sources.
Procedure
- Make sure the Data tab is showing, and not the Palette
or Files tab.
- Click the button that is just to the right of the dropdown
arrow.
The Configure Data Sources dialog box appears.
- Configure the following items:
- Type of data source (input or output)
- Data source
The data source directory is the directory containing
JSON data source files, which can be provided to application developers.
With the Web UI Framework, a tool is provided for generating JSON
data sources from XAPI XML and XSD definitions.
- Path to data source directory
- Namespace, elements, and attributes
- Click the Finish button.
The
data source is configured. This initializes the bindingData property
of the widget that is using the data source. You can also specify
binding by creating or editing this property in the Properties view.
