Server behaviors

Dreamweaver architecture

When you use the Server Behavior Builder to create a Dreamweaver-specific extension, Dreamweaver creates several

files (EDML and HTML script files) that support inserting the server behavior code into a Dreamweaver document

(some behaviors also reference JavaScript files for additional functionality). The architecture simplifies your

implementation of the API and also separates your runtime code from how Dreamweaver deploys it. This topic

discusses ways of modifying these files.

Server behavior folders and files

The user interface (UI) for each server behavior resides in the Configuration/ServerBehaviors/ServerModelName

folder, where

ServerModelName is one of the following server types: ASP_Js (JavaScript), ASP_Vbs (VBScript),

ColdFusion, PHP_MySQL, or Shared (cross-server model implementations).

Extension Data Markup Language

Dreamweaver generates two EDML files when you use the Server Behavior Builder: a group EDML file and a

participant EDML file corresponding to the names that you provide in the Server Behavior Builder. The group file

defines the relevant participants, which represent code blocks, and the groups define which participants are combined

to make an individual server behavior.

Group files

Group files contain a list of participants, and participant files have all server-model-specific code data. Participant files

can be used by more than one extension, so several group files can refer to the same participant file.

The following example shows a high-level view of the Server Behavior Group EDML file. For a complete list of

elements and attributes, see

“Group EDML file tags” on page 259.

</groupParticipants>

</group>

In the groupParticipants block tag, each groupParticipant tag indicates the EDML participant file that contains

the code block to use. The value of the

name attribute is the participant file name minus the .edml extension (for

example, the

moveTo_declareParam attribute).

Participant files

A participant represents a single code block on the page, such as a server tag, an HTML tag, or an attribute. A

participant file must be listed in a group file to be available to a Dreamweaver document author. Several group files

can use a single participant file.

For example, the moveTo_declareParam.edml file contains the following code:

1 2 ... 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 ... 386 387
