Modification of session properties dynamically in ZIE for Web Client

The session definitions are defined by an Administrator. Users can modify the session properties at the client-side by Overriding HTML parameters. The overridden values take precedence over the initial session properties set up by the administrator. The overridden property is locked, so the user can’t change it.

The list of specific session properties that can be overridden is:

Steps to modify the session properties:

An administrator can set the session properties using one of the below 3 approaches,

1. By setting the parameters in the Deployment Wizard.
   • Include an HTML parameter EnableHTMLOverrides and set it to true. (In DW, Advanced options -> HTML parameters).
   • Include an HTML parameter TargettedSessionList, having a value of the exact name of the session to accept overrides. (In DW, Advanced options -> HTML parameters).

2. By setting the parameters via Session managers API (using one of the options below)

A) Create json array and pass it to the below method.

        For Example :

Var hod_applet = new hod_session();

Var json_object = {“host”:”host_address”,”port”:”23”}

hod_applet.setHTMLParametersToOverride(json_object);

B) Create json array repetitively calling below function, and Pass json object to ZIE for Web Client using below API.

      For Example :

Var hod_applet = new hod_session();

hod_applet.setHTMLParametersToOverride(“HOST”,”HOST ADDRESS”);

hod_applet.setHTMLParametersToOverride (“port”,”12175”); etc

hod_applet.setHTMLParametersToOverride(); //finally this is to call set method.

      Limitation: With session manager API (Application Programming Interfaces), this will not work with auto start sessions.

  3. By Using custom JSP code. (Custom UX)

In the template file, update hHod_AppletParams variable with all the custom parameters.

        Example:

hHod_AppletParams[“host”] = “host_address”;

hHod_AppletParams[“port”] = “port_number”;

Limitation:

The JSON array created by the admin does not work with custom JSP.
