Logon.html (v5.0.x) and Uniface Command line paramaters
The Uniface Anywhere example webpages that can be found after installation of the HOST at <installdir>\web and reachable by http://hostname/uanywhere/ has changed with the introduction of version 5.0.0 and is now using JavaScripting.
The supplied example webpages are browser aware and will start (when possible) the correct UA-Client for the used client environment.
All relevant application startup parameters for the client are now located in one html file called “logon.html”.
These parameters are in the form of:
// controlArgs.set([variable]);
When making use of these arguments be aware of the following:
- The relevant line needs to be uncommented by removing the // in front of the argument that is required.
- Special characters (like <space>, <_>, <?> etc.) used in values, needs to be escaped for interpretation by the browser
To automatically escape characters, Javascript has the function: encodeURIComponent.
In next example we want to pass the Uniface arguments:
“/adm=c:\u9702\uniface\adm /dir=c:\ua-9702 /asn=c:\UA-9702\_usys.asn”
to the application defined in:
“controlArgs.set([ “app”, “IDF 9702” ]);”
in the logon.html page.
Example on how to use encodeURIComponent in the Logon.html page:
controlArgs.set([ “args”,encodeURIComponent(“/adm=c:\\u9702\\uniface\\adm /dir=c:\\ua-9702 /asn=c:\\UA-9702\\_usys.asn”)]);
Be aware that you will still have to escape backslashes with a backslash, as encodeURIComponent does not encode the backslash.
