Constructing a Web Page and Displaying from inside Aware IM

customaware

I am trying to construct a web page on the fly.

The complete web page relies on a .js file and a .css file.
It also needs to by done separately depending on a BO.ID

So here is where I have got to.

I can successfully create a folder with name = BO.ID. Let's, for example call it myfolder. That automatically gets created under C:\AwareIM\bin
I can successfully copy the required .js file and .css file into my folder.
I can successfully construct the webpage and end up with it in myfolder. Assume it is called mypage.html

Now here is the dilemma.

I then want to display the web page.

From outside of Aware IM I can just open mypage.html in a browser and it all works.

However, I have had no success opening the page from within Aware. DISPLAY URL does not work.
I believe this is because, even though Aware has visibility of the folder... Tomcat doesn't. Tomcat think the root web folder is webapps/AwareIM/

So, I tried creating the folder under webapps/AwareIM/
I can create it and I can open it but the page does not recognise the .js and .css file that the page relies on.

I have tried placing them in AwareIM/Custom/JS and AwareIM/Custom/CSS respectively and changing the paths (and even removing the paths thinking Aware will automatically load them) to no avail.

Am wondering if anyone has done this sort of thing and can suggest the trick to make it work?

Subscribed!

This is something that I have always wanted to do, but I don't have inner knowledge of Aware and how it renders pages.
Right now I'm doing something like this in ASP MVC, where I can dynamically create all the elements of a page at runtime, but I have full control of the "View" (Web page) from top to bottom. In Aware, it's all black box to me.

Got it working....

Create the folder under C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\ or in my case C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\app\

Wont work on a local machine but does on a server. Dump all your .js and.css in the same folder and Presto!!!

This page is dynamically created and displayed on the fly using AwareIM objects?

Is the page launched and viewed from within the app?

Not quite John.

I am using Treant ( http://fperucic.github.io/treant-js/ )

I dynamically construct the output file orgchart.js on the fly and dump it into a folder under AwareIM that is named uniquely for an Entity and drop the needed Treant files in there also.

Then use DISPLAY URL in a new Window.

Thanks Mark

Did you consider using the Kendo UI org chart? http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/diagram/index

Yes I did John.

Two issues.

Primarily, I have no idea how to implement the Kendo control and secondly, from what I have seen (and I may well be mistaken) the Kendo control does not cater for Stacked Subordinates.

It USED TO when I had used it in "ASP Web Form". But now, it doesn't seem to, unless the demos didn't activate it.
