TreeviewServlet
Configuration of Treeview Servlet File
There are two files you need to configure:
Configuring the
treeview.properties
Configuration of the file connection
The file connection property defines the url to your
nodes.txt file which stores the tree information.
The nodes.txt can be stored everywhere on the net. It just has to be accessible via http.
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Your file connection to the tree data
#
file.InputFileURL=http://www.yourdomain.com/tree/nodes.txt
# ------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration of the linking
The servlet needs to know the how it can make
requests to itself. You define the URL to
the Treeview Servlet by defining the link.node.UrlLeftStart
property.
You can also use a jsp file as the standard linkling file. The file can then
include the TreeView
Servlet. Just have a look at our online examples.
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# Linking option
#
link.node.UrlLeftStart = <a href='STreeViewServlet20?NodeId=
link.node.UrlLeftEnd = '>
link.node.UrlEnd = </a>
# ------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration of the GUI
The response HTML code of the treeview servlet can
be configured within the
gui properties section of the treeview.properties file.
There's on important property in this section called
"gui.node.PicPathStart". With this
property you can define the location of your tree icons:
gui.node.PicPathStart = <img
src='http://www.yourdomain.com/images/icons/
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# GUI of the TreeView
#
gui.html.Head = <html><head><title>TreeView Servlet</title>
</head><body bgcolor=white link=black vlink=black alink=black>
<br><font face='Verdana, Arial, arial' size=2>
<b>TreeView Servlet Demo</b></font><br><br>
gui.html.Style = <STYLE TYPE='text/css'> a:hover {color: rgb(255,33,33);
text-decoration: underline;} td {font-size: 10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial,Arial; } </style>
gui.html.Bottom = </body></html>
gui.html.Font = <font face='Verdana, Arial, Arial' size=-2>
gui.node.Table = <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0>
gui.node.Table_ = </table>
gui.node.TR = <tr>
gui.node.TR_ = </tr>
gui.node.TD = <td>
gui.node.TD_ = </td>
gui.node.linked.TD = <td bgcolor=darkblue>
gui.node.linked.Font = <font color=white><b>
gui.node.PicPathStart = <img src='http://www.www.yourdomain.com/images/nav_icons/
gui.node.PicPathEnd = ' border=0 width=16 height=16>

Configuring the nodes.txt
Please first have a look at our demonstration file:

/*******************************************************
Each line defines a one node. A node is structured
like this:
Id, ParentId, LevelNr, IsOpen, IsFolder,
Text, additionalPicture, linkURL, targetFrame
| Id: |
Integer |
The identification number of the node. This number has to be a
unique number. |
| ParentId: |
Integer |
If the node is a childnode you have to define the parents id.
Type here 0 if its a root node. |
| LevelNr: |
Integer |
The number of the level. The tree root starts at level 1. The
deeper a node is nested the higher is the levelNr. |
| IsOpen: |
Boolean (1/0) |
1 = Folder is open, 0 = Folder is closed |
| IsFolder: |
Boolean (1/0) |
1 = Node is a folder and can have childs, 0 = Node isn't a
folder |
| Text: |
String |
The nodes name which will be displayed. |
| additionalPicture: |
String |
You can define a separate picture for each node. The pictures
have to be stored in the gui.node.PicPathStart path. |
the following parameters only need to be defined
when you set the link.linkingOption to 1
| linkURL: |
String |
The URL which the servlet will link to when an user clicks the
node. |
| targetFrame: |
String |
The target frame in which the content of the URL will appear. It has to be a valid frame name. |
Important:
You have to define the whole parameter string for
each node. If you don't know a parameter or you want to leave it out then put a
"-" on it's place (Not working for Id, Parentid, LevelNr, IsOpen, IsFolder).
Linking of a node:
When you define a link for a node the link only gets active when the node gets
clicked. The servlet returns a javascript piece of code which proceeds the linking. If the defined target is not valid then
the javascript will fire an error message.
