Customize clients
You may need to customize the user interfaces to your human tasks. Information is provided for each type of human task client.
You have generated a client for your human task, and you want to customize the user interface that your staff will see.
The precise steps you need to take to customize your client depends on the type of client you have generated.
Procedure
- To customize a JSF client:
There is a very detailed description of modifying JSF task clients available in the white paper
Understanding and enhancing the generated Java™ Server Faces client for human tasks.
- To customize a WebSphere Portal portlet:
The recommended way to customize a WebSphere Portal portlet client is to add additional portlets to the portal. This is a simpler process than modifying the generated portlet. Creating and deploying additional portlets is described in the
WebSphere Portal information center for details.
- To customize an IBM Forms client:
IBM Integration Designer can generate a complete BPEL process with all of the required interfaces, business objects, and human tasks based on existing IBM Forms. Although these artifacts match the forms as much as possible, you might still need to perform some modifications to make the client perform optimally. Customization involve modifying the generated business object to better match the IBM Form, or optimizing the created interface.
More information on modifying an IBM Forms client can be found in the white paper
Integrating Lotus Forms and IBM Integration Designer.
Rather than generating an IBM Form client, you can use an existing IBM Form. The
IBM Forms
Library describes in detail how to design IBM Forms.
