In this section Overview 5 Template designer 5 EngageOne Server components 10 EngageOne administration 13 EngageOne Interactive 14 Interactive document process flow 14 Overview Overview Document templates and optional content objects are defined by the template designer in a core application called Designer, and managed in the content repository. These programs are made available to front-office users through a Web-based interface. This interface allows users to create and modify a document in a controlled manner, and distribute documents through various delivery channels as required. The EngageOne Interactive Web application uses the services provided by the EngageOne Web services interface to access the server functions of EngageOne. Template designer Document templates are created by a template designer, a user who defines the document and its interactions in Designer. A template consists of a traditional publication design, along with interactive data definitions which describe the front office user interactions required to complete a document from that template. This involves designing the overall template and defining: • The data prompts included in the document using the Interactive Editor • Paragraph and content selection, using optional content selections (Active Content) • Free-form text to override content protection using editable paragraphs For more information about these functions, see the Designer User’s Guide. The template designer allows the user to edit or enter free text as required in an EngageOne document design, by selecting a section of text in a paragraph object and defining the text as editable. Any text marked as editable can be changed by the user. Text that is not marked as editable will be protected. In addition to the basic template, the template designer can create optional content. Property values are defined, enabling them to be conditionally placed in an Active Content Group. When Active Content is marked as interactive, the user is dynamically presented with content choices to help them complete their document. Once the EngageOne template has been designed and data fields defined, the template is named and published for EngageOne. The XForm files that define the document's data model are included in the template’s Zip file. The process of importing these files into the EngageOne content repository using the EngageOne Administration client, is called Template deployment. EngageOne® Compose EngageOne® Server Programmer's Reference Guide 5 Overview The interactive data model is defined and exposed using the W3C XForm standard. The XForm can be used by the system integrator to push system data into the interactive document. Content repository The content repository provides file storage and version control for EngageOne. It houses the templates used to create documents, supporting files needed for document composition, and the document instances waiting for delivery. EngageOne® Compose EngageOne® Server Programmer's Reference Guide 6 Overview About the template The template manifest (template_master.xml) describes template attributes and contents. The template manifest is made up of the following: Subfiles The Subfiles section contains a list of files in the template Zip file, and specifies each file type: Template composition HIP HIP files contain design, layout, logic and other resources required for generating publications. These files are used by Generate. There are two types of HIP file: publications, and independently publishable active content. PUB Publication files contain design, layout and logic. These files are used by the Interactive Editor. There are two types of PUB file: template publications, and independently publishable active content. XFRM XForms define electronic forms for collecting general purpose information. INST Instance data file. Initially this file contains default field values. All values entered by the user will be saved in this file. Free form text is stored in the HIP and PUB files, not the instance file. SCHEMA The instance file schema contains standard schema nodes and attributes. The schema ensures data returned in the instance file is well-formed, the right type, and meets defined field criteria. IMG Image file required by the editor for display in the template. DATAMODEL XML representation of the Designer Publication “Sample Data”, whether the original data is keyed data (for example, single value decomposition), delimited (for example, comma separated values), or on-demand XML. The DATAMODEL file type appears only for non-interactive templates. EngageOne® Compose EngageOne® Server Programmer's Reference Guide 7 Overview Template composition PREVIEW PDF file appears for both interactive and non-interactive templates, where Designer Publish for EngageOne has successfully generated a PDF “preview” example of the Designer Publication. The PREVIEW file is generated using “emergency replacement” data, where the Designer Publication data is incomplete, and may not reflect the completed document. PREVIEW file is available for the Interactive user to view a “Preview” of the Template Document at the start of the “Edit Communication” process. PROMPTLOGIC Files containing information used to prompt for, and validate, interactive template data when the ActiveX editor is not used. THUMBNAIL "Scaled" image representation of the first document. Intended as a rough guide to the layout and content of the first document. EngageOne® Compose EngageOne® Server Programmer's Reference Guide 8 Overview Resources The Resources section lists the dependencies of the template. These can be of the following types: ACTCONT Active content IMAGE Image used in the template FONT Font used in the template The following fragment demonstrates the structure of the template manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!--XML meta file for EngageOne Template--> <document ocmmetafile-vers="ocm-metafile1.0" ocm-vers="OCM Template V1.0"> <OcmMetadata> <documentClass> <metadata-field fieldName="Publish Date" fieldValue="05-May-2009" defaultValue="" fieldType="text" /> <metadata-field fieldName="Published By" fieldValue="Administrator" defaultValue="" fieldType="text" /> <metadata-field fieldName="Design Publication Name" fieldValue="Basic" defaultValue="" fieldType="text" /> </documentClass> <Subfiles> <File type="HIP">template.hip</File> <File type="PUB">template.pubx</File> <File type="XFRM">d79f96b60b2a48ee9f59c8bed5655f86.xform</File> <File type="INST">d79f96b60b2a48ee9f59c8bed5655f86.xml</File> <File type="SCHEMA">d79f96b60b2a48ee9f59c8bed5655f86.xsd</File> <File type="IMG">c52767b2d1824366b522589d550cb297.png</File> </Subfiles> <Resources> <Res type="ACTCONT" name="Basic" guid="e06d8fc2009642ddb2740495af6bf785" /> <Res type="FONT" name="Arial 11pt" guid="24e474cc2baa434cb7239457b6b90443" /> <Res type="IMAGE" name="logo.bmp" guid="c52767b2d1824366b522589d550cb297" /> </Resources> <Inputs> <HIP path="" /> <ActiveContent path="" /> </Inputs> </OcmMetadata> </document> EngageOne® Compose EngageOne® Server Programmer's Reference Guide

  • Efficient XML Processing in Browsers
    Efficient XML Processing in Browsers R. Alexander Milowski ILCC, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh [email protected] Motivation Partially, in response to the anti-XML crowd's complaints about XML in browser applications: XML slow, inefficient way to deliver data, JSON is simpler and more directly usable, and several other red herrings. Mostly because I want it! ...pretty shiny XML objects... The reality: XMLHttpRequest is insufficient for both XML and JSON delivery. Why and what do you do about processing large amounts of XML data efficiently in browsers? Inefficiencies with XMLHttpRequest Three general deficiencies: 1. If the response is not XML and not characters, there is little support for handling the entity body (e.g. images). 2. If the response is not XML but is characters, treating it as XML or as a sequence of characters may be wasteful. 3. If the response is XML, the "whole document" intermediary DOM may be wasteful. This talk is about concerned with #3. Strategy We want flexibility and choice in our processing model: whole document, subsetting, multiple DOMs, view porting, filtering, or just a stream of events. We'll replace XMLHttpRequest and: Keep the request formulation, Remove the "whole document" treatment of the response, Add event-oriented processing of the XML. The XMLReader Interface Shares a lot in common with XMLHttpRequest for making the request: send, open, overrideMimeType, setRequestHeader, etc. request model is the same, added a parse(in DOMString xml) method for completeness, added an onxml event listener attribute for receiving XML, added an "xml" event type for addEventListener() XML Events Events for: start/end document, start/end element, characters, processing instructions, comments Events are flattened - one interface for all of them.
