Element Description
A WOEmbeddedObject provides support for Netscape plug-ins.
It corresponds to the HTML element <EMBED
SRC = >. If the embedded object's content
comes from outside the WebObjects application, use the src attribute.
If the embedded object's content is returned by a method within
the WebObjects application, use the filename attribute
or the data and mimeType attributes.
Synopsis
WOEmbeddedObject {value=aMethod;
| src=aURL; | filename= imageFileName;
[framework = frameworkBaseName|"app";]
| data=dataObject; mimeType=typeString;
[key=cacheKey;]... };
Bindings
- value
- The content for this embedded object in the form of
a WOElement object. This data can come from
a database, a file, or memory.
- src
- URL containing the embedded object. Use this attribute
for complete URLs; for relative URLs use filename instead.
- filename
- Path to the embedded object relative to the WebServerResources
directory.
- framework
- Framework that contains the embedded object. This attribute
is only necessary if the object is in a different location from
the component. That is, if the component and the embedded object
are both in the application or if the component and the embedded
object are both in the same framework, this attribute isn't necessary.
If the embedded object is in a framework and the component is in
an application, specify the framework's name here minus the
.framework extension.
If the embedded object should be in the application but the component
is in a framework, specify the "app" keyword in place
of the framework name.
- data
- Specifies any resource in the form of an NSData;
this data can come from a database, a file, or memory. If you specify
resource data, you must specify a MIME type.
- mimeType
- A string designating a MIME resource type, such as "
image/gif";
this type tells the client what to do with data. If you provide data but
no MIME type, WebObjects will raise.
- key
- A string that functions as a key for caching the data
specified in data. If you do not provide a key, the data object
is fetched each time it is needed. For further information, see
the reference documentation for WOResourceManager, particularly
that for the flushDataCache method.
