SKI Framework - View Life-Cycle
All views are event driven and can react to the following life-cycle events:
•
Create—called a single time when the view needs to be created (that is, navigation item is
clicked for the first time). At this time, a view will return its created DOM structure (that is, an
empty table).
•
Preload—called only once, after the view is in the DOM. At this time, a view can perform
any initialization that can only be done after the DOM structure has been realized.
•
Reset—may be called multiple times, allows the view to clear any stale data
•
Load—may be called multiple times, allows the view to load its data. This is where a view
can make any Ajax calls needed to obtain server-side data.
•
Resize—may be called multiple times, allows the view to handle resize events caused by the
browser or main layout
•
Error—may be used to define an application specific error handler for the view
•
Unload—called to allow a view to perform any cleanup as it is about to be replaced by
another view
SKI Framework - Live Reference Application
The SKI reference application hp-util-ski-ui-X.XX.X.war is distributed with the SDK in the lib/util/
directory. You need to install the Apache Tomcat web server to run the reference application.
Simply copy this war file into your Tomcat webapps directory as the file ski-ui.war. You can
launch the reference application in your browser with URL: localhost:8080/ski-ui/ref/index.html.
Figure 30 shows the SKI UI reference application.
