Implement Custom Java Class

As described in the earlier sections, a macro component is instantiated to represent a regular macro. By default, HtmlMacroComponent is assumed (and instantiated). However, you provide a custom Java class to provide a better API to simplify the access and to encapsulate the implementation.

Use Macro with Custom Java Class

In ZUML

The use of the macro component with a custom Java class in a ZUML page is the same as other macro components.

In Java

The main purpose of introducing a custom Java class is to simplify the use of a macro component in Java. For example, you could invoke a more meaningful setter directly rather than DynamicPropertied.setDynamicProperty(String, Object). In additions, the instantiation could be as simple as follows:

Username ua = new Username();
ua.setParent(wnd);
ua.setWho("Joe");
