HTML Viewer

The HTML viewer provides a simple webapp interface for interacting with an Isis domain model.

It renders each domain object or collection of domain objects as a web page, with hyperlinks used to navigate between objects. In addition, object actions can also be invoked, with hyperlinks bringing up a page for action parameters if required.

Customization

The HTML viewer offers only very limited customization opportunities; the CSS can be altered, but that's about it.

Alternatives

There are two other webapp viewers which provide more far wider customization opportunities:

  • the Scimpi viewer uses a JSF-like markup metaphor
  • the Wicket viewer uses a Apache Wicket components (and allows you to define your own components also).
