Weblets missing from Weblet
Templates View or Weblets View |

Issue:
Misunderstanding the differences between the Weblet
Templates list and the Weblets list in the IDE from V11 SP4
onwards might make it appear that some Weblets are missing
from the one or the other lists. In simple terms the
differences between these lists are as follows:
-
Weblet (Green icon) view lists all weblets
(weblet files) that are stored
in the LANSA Repository (for that partition and
technology service)
-
Weblet Templates (Gold icon) View lists all droppable weblets
(xsl:templates) that are included in the weblet
files above.
For example,
std_keys.xsl contains XSL instructions but no droppable
Weblets, so it is not included in the Weblet Templates list.
Instead you can find std_keys.xsl in the Weblets list.
Alternatively,
a particular weblet may contain more than one xsl:template
tag, and hence multiple weblet templates. One example is
std_treeview.xsl, which contains both the std_treeview, and
the std_treeview_target weblet templates. In this case only
std_treeview is shown in the Weblets list, but both
std_treeview and std_treeview_target appear in the Weblet
Template list
To drag and drop weblets
into the webpage design, use the Weblet Templates list
rather than the Weblets list. Use
the weblets list when checking objects in to and out from
the master repository.
