Description of the illustration cpd_dataflow.gif

This flowchart displays the data flow between GUI objects and Object Model. The flowchart can be broken down in the following forms from start to finish:

1. The extension X S D containing G U I extensions becomes an XML Bean document.

2. The XML Bean document becomes an HtmlGuiBuilder.java.

3. The HtmlGuiBuilder.java translates schema annotations into HTML widgets.

4. The HTML document with Javascript functions connects to the IP Service Activator GUI when a User clicks OK or Apply Javascript called to validate and submit form.

5. The IP Service Activator GUI saves Configuration Policy as XML through the IP Service Activator Object Model.

6. The IP Service Activator Object Model Load Configuration Policy transforms into a string of name/value pairs.

7. Then the string of name/value pairs goes back through the IP Service Activator GUI to extract data to form an XML document.
