All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Serializable

public final class NavigationNode

extends Object

implements Cloneable, Serializable

The NavigationNode represents one node in the navigation tree. In brief it contains the view to bedisplayed when the navigation node is clicked. The Navigation nodes are defined in the standard or custom XLM files (See XML example) The navigation node will control location of view selection, placement of personalized views, and placement of where dynamic view should be placed.

<NavigationNode name="Main">
<NavigationNode name="CombinedTask" view="DefaultView" referenceBundle="tasks">
<NavigationNode name="task2" view="DefaultView" referenceBundle="new_and_inprogress_tasks" referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS">
<NavigationNode name="PersonalViewPlaceHolderTask2" referenceGroup="UWL_PERSONAL"/>
</NavigationNode>
<NavigationNode name="forwarded2" view="WorkItemsForwardedView" referenceBundle="tasks_forwarded" referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS">
<NavigationNode name="PersonalViewPlaceHolderforwarded2" referenceGroup="UWL_PERSONAL"/>
</NavigationNode>
<NavigationNode name="futureTask" view="FutureTaskView" referenceBundle="tasks_for_resubmission" referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS">
<NavigationNode name="PersonalViewPlaceHolderfuture" referenceGroup="UWL_PERSONAL"/>
</NavigationNode>
