About the Generic Create Form

The generic create form component allows a single base JSP, emxCreate.jsp, to be used to create any object instead of having a separate JSP for each object.

This figure shows a sample create dialog page:



The URL to generate this page would be:

emxCreate.jsp?form=type_Meeting&type=type_Meeting&header=emxComponents.Common.CreateMeeting
&Mode=create&helpMarker=emxhelpcreatemeeting&preProcessJPO=emxMeeting:checkMeetingPrerequisites
&submitAction=refreshCaller&nameField=both&postProcessURL=../components/emxMeetingProcess.jsp
?action=CreateMeeting&typeChooser=true

To define a create page, use the guidelines for defining fields described in the following sections, and the tables that list the supported parameters, settings, and URL parameters that can be passed to emxCreate.jsp.

Many of the options supported by emxForm.jsp are also supported by emxCreate.jsp. For example, the type-ahead feature described in Design Considerations for Form Fields works with the generic create component.

You cannot use the generic create component in portal mode.
