Realizing connections in Web diagrams

To realize a connection means to cause the connection represented in a Web diagram to come into existence. You can realize a declared or procedural data reference connection, a JSP link, or an action mapping forward.

• To realize a declared or procedural data reference connection, first realize the source of the connection. If the source is realized, the appropriate editor is launched where you are able to enter the required code to make the connection realized. For example, if the source of the connection was a JSP file, the JSP editor would be invoked and you can then enter the required tag that would reference the target bean.

• To realize a JSP link first realize the source JSP file. If the JSP file is realized, the default JSP editor is invoked for the source JSP file, and you can then type the link entry.

• To realize an action mapping forward, first realize the source action mapping. If the action mapping is realized, the configuration file editor is opened for the Struts configuration file that contains the source action mapping. A new forward is created for the source action mapping and selected.
