NAME
wax - web application extension service
WEB APPLICATION EXTENSION SERVICE
The Web Application Extensionservice is an original implementation that provides the support for low
level HTTP transaction as well as high level XHTML page generation. The service combines various modules
and provides access to the modern generation of web contents.
Page service objects
The XhtmlRootclass is the primary interface to generate xhtml page. The class is derived from the
XmlRootclass and the Mimeobject. for this reason, creating a xhtml page is equivalent to add xml nodes to
the page. The xhtml version is assumed to be 1.1.
Page creation
The XhtmlRootconstructor takes a string argument which is the title page. When the root page is created,
a headand bodynodes are automatically created. Once created, it is possible to retrieve the head and body
nodes from the root node. The head and body nodes are part of the htmlnode which is automatically
instantiated as a XhtmlHtmlobject. The html node can always be retrieved from the root node with the get-
childxml method.
# create a new xhtml page
const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
# get the head node
const head (page:get-head)
# get the body node
const body (page:get-body)
The head and body nodes are part of the htmlnode which is automatically instantiated as a
XhtmlHtmlobject. The html node can always be retrieved from the root node with the get-childxml method.
The root methods get-headand get-bodyare convenient methods that ease the page design by eliminating the
references to the html node.
# create a new xhtml page
const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
# get the html node
const html (page:get-child "html")
# get the head node
const head (html:get-head)
# get the body node
const body (html:get-body)
Page header
The XhtmlHeadclass is the xml node that handles the xhtml head. The object is automatically created when
calling the XhtmlRootconstructor. During the construction process, the head is automatically set with a
title. Once created, the head can be filled with meta information and styles. The add-metamethod is
designed to add meta information, while the add-styleadd a link node with a style reference to the head.
# add a meta tag
head:add-meta "copyright" "© 2000"
# add a style path
head:add-style "/style.css"
The add-metamethod adds a XhtmlMetaobject which is a xml tag node. The first argument is the meta
descriptor while the second argument is the meta content. Note that the add-metamethod can be simulated
by calling the XhtmlMetaconstructor and then adding the node to the head node.
# create a meta node
const node (afnix:wax:XhtmlMeta "copyright" "© 2013")
# add the node to the head
head:add node
The add-stylemethod adds a XhtmlStyleobject which is a xml tag node. The string argument is the url style
sheet path which gets automatically transformed to the form @import(url). Note that the add-stylemethod
can be simulated by calling the XhtmlStyleconstructor and then adding the node to the head node.
# create a style node
const node (afnix:wax:XhtmlStyle "/style.css")
# add the node to the head
head:add node
Page body
The XhtmlBodyclass is the xml node that handles the xhtml body. The object is automatically created when
calling the XhtmlRootconstructor. Once created, the body node can be filled with any valid xhtml node.
Since the node are initially xml tag node, it is always possible to create a tag by name and set the
attributes and child nodes manually.
# create a new xhtml page
const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
# get the body node
const body (page:get-body)
# add a node
body:add-child node
Page emission
Since the XhtmlRootobject is a xml root node, the node can be used to write the complete hierarchy. The
xml node node provides the writemethod that write a xml tree into a buffer of an output stream.
# create a new xhtml page
const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
# write to the output stream
page:write
Another mechanism for writing the page is to use the fact that the XhtmlRootclass implements also the
Mimeinterface. With this in mind, the XhtmlRootcan be used within the HttpReply. This method is
particularly useful when writing automated page generation, such like CGI scripts.
# create a new xhtml page
const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
# create an http reply object
const reply (afnix:wax:HttpReply)
# write the page as a mime object
reply:add-buffer page
# write the result to the output
reply:write
Page design objects
The wax service moduleis designed to provide several object that ease the task of creating a xhtml page.
Such objects range from comment to table. Most of the time, the construction is simple the resulting node
only need to be added to the page tree. When it comes to add text, the problem is becoming more subtle
and is discussed later in this section.
Comment node
Adding a comment is done with the XmlCommentclass which take the comment string in the constructor. Once
created, the comment node can be added to the tree.
# add a comment to the body node
body:add-child (
afnix:xml:XmlComment "this is a comment")
Node style class
When the xhtml page is combined with the cascaded style sheet (CSS), the xhtml node tag often uses a
classname to refer to a particular style. The class styleis just a node attribute which can be set with
the add-attributemethod. However, most of the time, the library provides object which have the style as
the first argument in the constructor. For example, the XhtmlDivconstructor take 0 or one argument. With
one argument, the string argument is used as the style attribute.
# create a xhtml div with a class attribute
const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv "nice")
# create a xhtml div and set the class manually
const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv)
div:set-attribute "class" "nice"
Adding text paragraph
Adding text to a page is not a trivial task when it comes to deal with text style. By default, a piece of
text is stored in the XmlTextnode. Using this node is easy. However, in a programming context, its use
can become heavy. For this reason, all xml nodes provide the parsemethod which can be used to add a xml
tree to the calling node. When it comes to add text that includes rendering tag, this method is quite
handy.
# add a text with some piece in italic
node:parse "this is a <i>simple</i> method"
The XhtmlParanode is the preferred node for adding text to a xhtml page. The node takes optionally the
style name in the constructor. A boolean flag can also be used to create an empty paragraph node.
# create a paragraph node with a style
const p (afnix:wax:XhtmlPara "title")
# add some text
p:parse "the paragraph text"
Adding reference
Adding reference or hyperlink to a page is achieved with the XhtmlRefclass. Most of the time, the object
is built with a uri and a text. when the node has been created, the node can be added to the page tree.
# create a hyperlink
const node (
afnix:wax:XhtmlRef "http://www.afnix.org" "afnix")
# add the node in a paragraph
p:add-child node
Formatting elements
The XhtmlDivand XhtmlHrclasses are the basic formatting xhtml elements. The XhtmlDivis a grouping element
and the XhtmlHris a simple horizontal ruler element. Both classes take 0 or one argument which is the
style name.
# create a div element
const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv "menu")
# create a ruler element
const hr (afnix:wax:XhtmlHr)
Managing table
The wax service moduleprovides an extensive support of he xhtml table element. There are basically two
strategies for creating a table. One is to use the html elements or the other is to use a print table
object and automatically feed the xhtml table. The first method provides a better control while the
second one is easier to use.
The table element
The XhtmlTableclass is the class that manages xhtml table. As usual, a default style name can be
specified in the constructor. Eventually, a default table row and table data default style can also be
specified. Such default value are used when creating a new row with the new-rowmethod.
# create an element with a default tr and th/td style
const tbl (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text" "text" "text")
# get a new row with a default style
const tr (tbl:new-row)
In the previous example, a table is created with a default style for the table row. When a new row is
created, the default style is used for that row. If there is no default style, the row is created without
a style. Note that the new-rowmethod takes also a style argument that overwrites the default one.
Building the table
A table is built by adding row and data element into the rows. A row is created with the new-rowmethod or
the object can be constructed directly and added to the node with the add-childmethod. The XhtmlTrclass
is the table row class.
# get a new row with a default style
trans tr (tbl:new-row)
# create a row directly
trans tr (afnix:wax:XhtmlTr "text")
When a row has been created, the data can be added to the row. Normally, the new-datamethod is used to
create a new table data element. If a default style is defined in the table row, the table data element
is built with that style. The new-headmethod can also be used to create table header element. Again, if a
default table header style exists in the table row, the element is built with that style. The
XhtmlTdclass is the table data class and the XhtmlThclass is the table header class.
# get a new data element
trans td (tr:new-data)
# create new head element
trans th (tr:new-head)
When the table data node has been created, the parsemethod or the add-childmethod can be called to add
other nodes. another method for building the table is to use the add-tablemethod which uses a print table
object. In such case, the table rows and data elements are automatically added in the table.
The table structure
The table can be designed directly with table rows with table headers and table data elements. Another
method, which is more structured is to use the table head, table body and table footer elements. The
XhtmlTheadclass is the table head element class. The XhtmlTbodyclass is the table body element class. The
XhtmlTfootclass is the table footer element class. These classes behaves exactly like the XhtmlTableand
are in fact all derived from the XhtmlTelemclass.
# create a xhtml table
const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
# create a table body
const tbody (
afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text" "text" "text")
# add a print tbl in the body
tbody:add-table ptbl
# add the body to the table
table:ad-child tbody
A table caption node can also be set with the set-captionmethod. The method simply creates a
XhtmlCaptionnode and adds it to the table. The caption text is part of the method call which is used by
the caption node constructor. It is also possible to create the caption node by calling the
XhtmlCaptionconstructor and adding it to the table with he add-childmethod.
# create a xhtml table
const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
# set a table caption
table:set-caption "the afnix table system"
The table structure can also be defined with the XhtmlCgrclass which corresponds to the xhtml column
group element. The column group element is designed to support the colelement that formats the table
column.
# create a table
const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
# set the table with to 100%
table:add-attribute "width" "100%"
# create a column group
table:add-child (const xcgr (afnix:wax:XhtmlCgr))
# add a column with 30% width
cgr:add-child (afnix:wax:XhtmlCol "30%")
# add a column with 70% width
cgr:add-child (afnix:wax:XhtmlCol "70%")
