Hi to All ,
This blog is very simple about the buisness graphics , in general the IGS URL property of Buisness graphics cannot be binded to any context value attribute ,and now we have a requirement to change the URL at RUN time , i.e when you we want to deploy our application from development to quality and then to another server we have to change the IGS URL property and deploy which is tedious .
Hence we can resolve the issue by maintaining the IGS URL in the KM content of the respective Server ,
In KM Content ->documents-> Create a new XML file , here maintain the URL as
<graphics>
<igsurl>http://host:port/</igsurl>
</graphics>
in a Utils dc or a common dc , create a method to read the content of KM , so that igsurl value is obtained .
create a common gloabal variable of type string in the
//@@begin others
String igsURL_globalVariable = "";
//@@end
In Component Controller create one method , which access the utils dc km content reading method and returns the value read. here in our case it is igsurl .
public java.lang.String getURL( )
{
//@@begin getURL()
String urlofIGSatKMContent;
try
{
urlofIGSatKMContent = wdThis.wdget***Interface().getKMdata("/document/info.xml","/graphics/igsurl");
}catch(Exception e)
{
}finally
{
return urlofIGSatKMContent;
}
//@@end
}
now in doInit() of the view , call this method and set the obtained igsurl value to the global variable igsURL_globalVariable .
Now in the view in which the buisness Graphics is inserted , go to wdDoModifyView()
if(firstTime)
{
IWDBusinessGraphics graphics = (IWDBusinessGraphics)view.getElement("BusinessGraphics");
graphics.setIgsUrl("http://host:port/");
}
in this way we can set the IGSURL dynamically at Run TIme.

Govardan
