Web support

EGL provides support for Web-based applications in the following ways:

• You can develop a page handler, which is a logic part whose functions are each invoked by a specific user action at a Web page. Generation of this logic part also can provide a JavaServer Faces JSP for customization.

• You can provide functionality that is common to several Web pages, as when each page in an application displays a button that the user clicks to log out. The user's click in this case can invoke an EGL program, which acts as a common subroutine.

• Finally, when you work in the WebSphere Page Designer, you can customize JavaServer Faces JSPs and can affect page handlers, as described in Page Designer Support for EGL.
