HTML Classes
IBM Toolbox for Java HTML classes assist you in:
- Setting up forms and tables for HTML pages
- Aligning text
- Working with a variety of HTML tags
- Altering the language and direction of text
- Creating ordered and unordered lists
- Creating file lists and HTML hierarchical trees (and the
elements within them)
- Adding tag attributes not already defined in the HTML classes
(for example, bgcolor and style attributes)
The HTML classes implement the HTMLTagElement
interface. Each class produces an HTML tag for a
specific element type. The tag may be retrieved using the
getTag() method and can then be embedded into any HTML
document. The tags you generate with the HTML classes are
consistent with the HTML 3.2 specification.
The HTML classes can work with servlet classes
to get data from the iSeries server. However, they can also be used alone if
you supply the table or form data.
The HTML classes make it easier to make HTML forms, tables, and
other elements:
- BidiOrdering class allows you to alter
the language and direction of text.
- DirFilter class
enables you to determine if a File object is a directory.
- HTMLAlign class allows you to align blocks of
HTML output.
- HTMLFileFilter
class allows you to determine if a File object is a file.
- HTMLForm classes help you make forms more easily
than CGI scripting.
- HTMLHeading class allows you to create heading
tags for your HTML pages.
- HTMLHyperlink class helps you create links within
your HTML pages.
HTMLImage
class allows you to create image tags for your HTML pages.
- HTMLList classes help you create lists for your
HTML pages.
- HTMLMeta class allows you to create meta tags
for your HTML pages.
- HTMLParameter class specifies parameters available
to the HTMLServlet.
- HTMLServlet class allows you to create a server-side
include.
- HTMLTable classes help you make tables for your
HTML pages.
- HTMLText class allows you to access the font properties
within your HTML pages.
- HTMLTree classes allow you to display an HTML
hierarchical tree of HTML elements.
- URLEncoder
class encodes delimiters to use in a URL string.
- URLParser
class allow you to parse a URL string for the URI, properties, and reference.
NOTE: The jt400Servlet.jar file includes both the
HTML and Servlet classes. You must
update your CLASSPATH to point to the jt400Servlet.jar file if you
want to use the classes in the com.ibm.as400.util.html package.
