Creating an XUI file

To access the XUI editor and begin using the widgets, you must first create an XUI file. The XUI file is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) framework for building applications in Java and XML. XUI only supports Dojo widget sets.

Procedure

To create an XUI file, do the following steps:

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer view in Rational® Application Developer, right-click the xui folder, and then click New > Other. The New window opens.
  2. On the Select a wizard page of the New window, expand the BTT folder, and then click New XUI File. Click Next. The Create XUI File page is displayed.
  3. In the File name field, specify a name for the XUI file.
    Note:
    • The file name you specify in the File name field cannot be duplicated.
    • You must use a .xui file extension for the XUI file.
  4. Optional: If you want to create an XUI file using an existing XUI template, select the Create a xui file using templates check box. Click Next, and then select the template you require.
  5. Click Finish.

Results

The XUI file is created and is stored in the xui folder of your XUI web project.
