Server widgets implementation configuration file

This Server widgets rendering pipeline XML configuration file specifies the Java classes which implements the ARINC 661 widgets and MapItems defined in the meta-definition.

Grammar

See the Widgets implementation configuration Schema.

Structure

The XML file contains the following elements:

• The paths for the classes implementing each ARINC 661 extension
• The paths for the classes implementing each MapItem
• The paths for the classes implementing each widget

ARINC Extension implementation

The "extension" element has one "arincID" attribute which specifies the extension ARINC ID. It contains a child "path" element which allow to specify the classpath of the Java class implementing the extension.

For example:

      <extension arincID="A661_CHILD_INDEX_EXTENSION">
         <path path="arinc661.server.model.arinc.ChildIndexExtension"/>
      </extension>

MapItem implementation

The "mapItem" element has one "arincID" attribute which specifies the MapItem ARINC ID. It contains a child "applyTo" element which allow to specify the classpath of the Java class implementing the MapItem.

For example:

      <mapItem arincID="A661_SYMBOL_RECTANGLE">
         <applyTo path="arinc661.server.model.maps2d.items.SymbolRectangle"/>
      </mapItem>

Widget implementation

The "widget" element has the following attributes:

• "arincID": the widget ARINC ID
• "isSized": (optional) set to false if the widget has no size (meaning no A661_SIZE_X and A661_SIZE_Y ARINC properties)
• "isSized": (optional) set to false if the widget has no size (meaning no A661_SIZE_X and A661_SIZE_Y or equivalent ARINC properties)
• "sizeType": (optional) useful when the widget has no size, has the following enumeration values:
• "parent": the widget area must fill its arent area. This is the case for the majority of unsized widgets such as for example A661_BASIC_CONTAINER
• "renderer": a special case for widgets which do not have an ARINC 661 size, but must have however a size in their rendering implemention. This is the case for the A661_TABBED_PANEL widget
• "positionType": (optional) useful when the widget has no size, has the following enumeration values:
• "parent": the widget has the same position as its parent
• "widget": the widget has its own position

Note that the "sizeType" and "positionType" attributes are only used in Swing.

The widget contains a child "path" element which allow to specify the classpath of the Java class implementing the widget.

Examples

      <widget arincID="A661_PUSH_BUTTON">
         <path path="arinc661.server.model.arinc.ARINCPushButton"/>
      </widget>

An unsized widget which takes its own position:

      <widget arincID="A661_GP_LINE" isSized="false" positionType="widget" sizeType="parent">
         <path path="arinc661.server.model.arinc.ARINCGPLine"/>
      </widget>

An unsized widget which takes the position of its parent:

      <widget arincID="A661_MENU_BAR" isSized="false" positionType="parent" sizeType="parent">
         <path path="arinc661.server.model.arinc.ARINCMenuBar"/>
      </widget>
