Presentation Transcript

  1. Configuration aware document generation • RPE document specifications are enhanced with the addition of a data source property that specifies the configuration URI. • If this variable is defined RPE adds an OSLC Configuration HTTP header to every HTTP GET request made to the data service. • This header will be processed by any configuration-capable data service • The global configuration property value may be changed by scripts in the document template during document generation. • RPE allows users to set/discover the value of the configuration URI. • OSLC delegated UIs are used for the discovery process • RPE discovers the URL of the OSLC delegated dialog by reading the service provider resource of the configuration service. • RPE is enhanced with an embedded web browser that can display the OSLC delegated dialog for the user to select the configuration. • Existing templates DO NOT have to change and neither the URLs used to configure the data sources • Template design does not change, it DOES NOT become more complex

  2. Configuration selection – the discovery process • Step 1: provide RPE with the URL of the rootservices document of the configuration provider

  3. Configuration selection – the discovery process • Step 2: select the OSLC Configuration provider and the OSLC Selection Dialog you want to use • Depending on the selection status of the “external browser” checkbox you will proceed to steps 3a or 3b

  4. Configuration selection – the discovery process • Step 3a: use the picker in the embedded browser in RPE • checkbox from step 2 was not selected

  5. Configuration selection – the discovery process • Step 3b: use the picker in an external browser • checkbox from step 2 was selected

  6. Configuration selection – the discovery process • Step 4: complete the wizard. The selected value is set in the “Configuration-Context” property of the data source

  7. Document generation – Configuration 1 (older)

  8. Document generation – Configuration 2 (newer)
