An application can define between one and five sections, refer to User Interface Element 5 in Introduction. Each section supports displaying multiple object tabs (will be covered later). SimpleApp.app has referenced one section using the id SimpleAppHomeSection. This id refers to a section configuration file, which is an XML configuration file with the extension .sec. Like SimpleApp.app, this file will be added to the EJBServer\components\<component-name>\clientapps directory and the id attribute must match the name of the file.
Add a Section to the Application details an example section file, SimpleAppHomeSection.sec.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <sc:section id="SimpleAppHomeSection" title="Section.Home.Title" hide-tab-container="true"> <sc:tab id="SimpleHome"/> </sc:section>
The SimpleAppHomeSection.sec file will have a corresponding SimpleAppHomeSection.properties file, which details the localizable content. For example:
Section.Home.Title=Home
The title attribute defines the name of the section tab. In addition, as there is only one tab defined for this section (SimpleHome), the hide-tab-container attribute has been used to hide the object tab bar.
