Determining entities to be added

In the tasks completed so far in the development process, you identified the following application entities to be implemented as extensions of the toolkit:

A new data element called HostField

Attributes:

  • value: Not mandatory; can be set to an initial value for this data element
  • hostId: The value of the hostIdentifier for the field being defined
The definition file will contain the following XML tag:
<hostField id="xxx" value="yyy" hostId="zz"/> 
where:
  • xxx is the identifier for this element
  • yyy is the initial value of the fields
  • zz is the value of the hostIdentifier

New formatters for building the backend system records: fHostDecor and fHostString

Attributes:

  • dataName: Specifies the type of data element that can be formatted
The definition file will contain the following XML tags:
<fHostDecor/>
<fHostString dataName="xxx"/> 
where xxx is the name of the data element type that can be formatted
