Specification View

Figure 9.2. Specification View

The specification view shows several sets of information about the selected component.

First shown are basic properties, such as the specification path and Java class.

Each formal parameter is displayed. Unbound parameters will show no value in the Binding column.

Beneath formal parameters are informal parameters (the Border component has none, so there is nothing to see). Informal parameters are usually mapped directly to HTML attributes. They are most often used with components that generate a single HTML tag, such as the Action, Direct or TextField components.

If the component contains assets, they are shown next.

Any helper beans for the component are displayed last.

On the right side is a list of each embedded component and its type. Clicking the component id will navigate to the selected component.
