About This Book
This book provides an introduction to Direct to Web and then describes the concepts you'll need to know when you customize a Direct to Web application.
To help you find what you are looking for, this book is divided into three chapters:
"An Introduction to Direct To Web" shows how to build a Direct to Web project and perform simple customization tasks on it.
"Direct to Web Architecture" describes the components and classes involved in generating Direct to Web pages.
"Customizing a Direct to Web Application" discusses several ways to customize the behavior of a Direct to Web application and presents two full examples:
- a property-level component that edits dates using pop-up lists
- a new task page called an edit-list page that edits several objects at a time.
The first chapter is suitable for a WebObjects beginner. The last two chapters are intended for a programmer who is already familiar with WebObjects, specifically entity-relationship modeling and the WebObjects request-response cycle. For more information about entity-relationship modeling, see the Enterprise Objects Framework Developer's Guide. For more information about the WebObjects request-response cycle, see the WebObjects Framework Developer's Guide.
