WEB APPLICATION EXTENSION SERVICE

       This  chapter  covers  the  fundamental  objects  of  the   AFNIX   web
       application extension (wax) service. This service provides the  support
       for  low  level  HTTP  transaction  as  well  as  high level XHTML page
       generation and CGI scripts  execution.   All   AFNIX   web  application
       extension  objects  are  located  in the afnix-wax service module. This
       module must be loaded prior any operation. Multiple calls to the module
       initialization  routine  are  harmless.  The interpreter method library
       loads a specific service module by  name.  When  the  module  has  been
       loaded, the object are available in the afnix:wax nameset.

       Page service objects
       The  XhtmlRoot  class  is the primary interface to generate xhtml page.
       The class is derived from the XmlRoot class  and  the  Mimeobject.  for
       this  reason,  creating  a xhtml page is equivalent to add xml nodes to
       the page. The xhtml version is assumed to be 1.1.

       Page creation
       The XhtmlRoot constructor takes a string argument which  is  the  title
       page.  When  the  root  page  is  created,  a  head  and body nodes are
       automatically created. Once created, it is  possible  to  retrieve  the
       head  and  body  nodes  from the root node. The head and body nodes are
       part of  the  html  node  which  is  automatically  instantiated  as  a
       XhtmlHtml  object.  The html node can always be retrieved from the root
       node with the get-child xml method.

       # create a new xhtml page
       const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
       # get the head node
       const head (page:get-head)
       # get the body node
       const body (page:get-body)

       The  head  and  body  nodes  are  part  of  the  html  node  which   is
       automatically  instantiated  as  a  XhtmlHtml object. The html node can
       always be retrieved from the root node with the get-child  xml  method.
       The root methods get-head and get-body are convenient methods that ease
       the page design by eliminating the references to the html node.

       # create a new xhtml page
       const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
       # get the html node
       const html (page:get-child "html")
       # get the head node
       const head (html:get-head)
       # get the body node
       const body (html:get-body)

       Page header
       The XhtmlHead class is the xml node that handles the  xhtml  head.  The
       object is automatically created when calling the XhtmlRoot constructor.
       During the construction process, the head is automatically set  with  a
       title.  Once  created, the head can be filled with meta information and
       styles. The add-meta method is designed to add meta information,  while
       the add-style add a link node with a style reference to the head.

       # add a meta tag
       head:add-meta "copyright" "(c) 2000"
       # add a style path
       head:add-style "/style.css"

       The  add-meta  method  adds a XhtmlMeta object which is a xml tag node.
       The first argument is the meta descriptor while the second argument  is
       the  meta  content.  Note  that the add-meta method can be simulated by
       calling the XhtmlMeta constructor and then adding the node to the  head
       node.

       # create a meta node
       const node (afnix:wax:XhtmlMeta "copyright" "(c) 2000")
       # add the node to the head
       head:add node

       The  add-style method adds a XhtmlStyle object which is a xml tag node.
       The  string  argument  is  the  url  style  sheet   path   which   gets
       automatically  transformed to the form @import(url). Note that the add-
       style method can be simulated by calling the XhtmlStyle constructor and
       then adding the node to the head node.

       # create a style node
       const node (afnix:wax:XhtmlStyle "/style.css")
       # add the node to the head
       head:add node

       Page body
       The  XhtmlBody  class  is the xml node that handles the xhtml body. The
       object is automatically created when calling the XhtmlRoot constructor.
       Once  created,  the  body node can be filled with any valid xhtml node.
       Since the node are initially xml tag node, it  is  always  possible  to
       create a tag by name and set the attributes and child nodes manually.

       # create a new xhtml page
       const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
       # get the body node
       const body (page:get-body)
       # add a node
       body:add-child node

       Page emission
       Since  the XhtmlRoot object is a xml root node, the node can be used to
       write the complete hierarchy. The xml  node  node  provides  the  write
       method that write a xml tree into a buffer of an output stream.

       # create a new xhtml page
       const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
       # write to the output stream
       page:write

       Another  mechanism  for  writing  the  page is to use the fact that the
       XhtmlRoot class implements also the Mime interface. With this in  mind,
       the  XhtmlRoot  can  be  used  within  the  HttpReply.  This  method is
       particularly useful when writing automated page generation,  such  like
       CGI scripts.

       # create a new xhtml page
       const page (afnix:wax:XhtmlRoot "AFNIX wax service")
       # create an http reply object
       const reply (afnix:wax:HttpReply)
       # write the page as a mime object
       reply:add-buffer page
       # write the result to the output
       reply:write

       Page design objects
       The  wax service module is designed to provide several object that ease
       the task of creating a xhtml page. Such objects range from  comment  to
       table.  Most of the time, the construction is simple the resulting node
       only need to be added to the page tree. When it comes to add text,  the
       problem is becoming more subtle and is discussed later in this section.

       Comment node
       Adding a comment is done with  the  XmlComment  class  which  take  the
       comment  string  in the constructor. Once created, the comment node can
       be added to the tree.

       # add a comment to the body node
       body:add-child (afnix:xml:XmlComment "this is a comment")

       Node style class
       When the xhtml page is combined with the cascaded  style  sheet  (CSS),
       the  xhtml  node  tag  often uses a class name to refer to a particular
       style. The class style is just a node attribute which can be  set  with
       the  add-attribute  method.  However,  most  of  the  time, the library
       provides object which have the style  as  the  first  argument  in  the
       constructor.  For  example,  the  XhtmlDiv  constructor  take  0 or one
       argument. With one argument, the string argument is used as  the  style
       attribute.

       # create a xhtml div with a class attribute
       const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv "nice")
       # create a xhtml div  and set the class manually
       const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv)
       div:set-attribute "class" "nice"

       Adding text paragraph
       Adding  text to a page is not a trivial task when it comes to deal with
       text style. By default, a piece of text is stored in the XmlText  node.
       Using this node is easy. However, in a programming context, its use can
       become heavy. For this reason, all xml nodes provide the  parse  method
       which  can be used to add a xml tree to the calling node. When it comes
       to add text that includes rendering tag, this method is quite handy.

       # add a text with some piece in italic
       node:parse "this is a <i>simple</i> method"

       The XhtmlPara node is the preferred node for adding  text  to  a  xhtml
       page.  The  node  takes optionally the style name in the constructor. A
       boolean flag can also be used to create an empty paragraph node.

       # create a paragraph node with a style
       const p (afnix:wax:XhtmlPara "title")
       # add some text
       p:parse "the paragraph text"

       Adding reference
       Adding reference or hyperlink to a page is achieved with  the  XhtmlRef
       class.  Most  of  the  time, the object is built with a uri and a text.
       when the node has been created, the node can be added to the page tree.

       # create a hyperlink
       const node (afnix:wax:XhtmlRef "http://www.afnix.org" "afnix")
       # add the node in a paragraph
       p:add-child node

       Formatting elements
       The  XhtmlDiv  and  XhtmlHr  classes  are  the  basic  formatting xhtml
       elements. The XhtmlDiv is a grouping  element  and  the  XhtmlHr  is  a
       simple  horizontal  ruler  element. Both classes take 0 or one argument
       which is the style name.

       # create a div element
       const div (afnix:wax:XhtmlDiv "menu")
       # create a ruler element
       const hr  (afnix:wax:XhtmlHr)

       Managing table
       The wax service module provides an extensive support of he xhtml  table
       element.  There  are basically two strategies for creating a table. One
       is to use the html elements or the other is to use a print table object
       and  automatically  feed  the  xhtml table. The first method provides a
       better control while the second one is easier to use.

       The table element
       The XhtmlTable class is the class that manages xhtml table. As usual, a
       default  style  name can be specified in the constructor. Eventually, a
       default table row and table data default style can also  be  specified.
       Such  default  value  are used when creating a new row with the new-row
       method.

       # create a table element with a default tr and th/td style
       const tbl (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text" "text" "text")
       # get a new row with a default style
       const tr (tbl:new-row)

       In the previous example, a table is created with a  default  style  for
       the table row. When a new row is created, the default style is used for
       that row. If there is no default style, the row is  created  without  a
       style.  Note  that  the new-row method takes also a style argument that
       overwrites the default one.

       Building the table
       A table is built by adding row and data element into the rows. A row is
       created  with  the  new-row  method  or  the  object can be constructed
       directly and added to the node with the add-child method.  The  XhtmlTr
       class is the table row class.

       # get a new row with a default style
       trans tr (tbl:new-row)
       # create a row directly
       trans tr (afnix:wax:XhtmlTr "text")

       When  a  row  has  been  created,  the  data  can  be added to the row.
       Normally, the new-data method is  used  to  create  a  new  table  data
       element. If a default style is defined in the table row, the table data
       element is built with that style. The new-head method can also be  used
       to  create table header element. Again, if a default table header style
       exists in the table row, the element is  built  with  that  style.  The
       XhtmlTd  class  is  the  table  data class and the XhtmlTh class is the
       table header class.

       # get a new data element
       trans td (tr:new-data)
       # create new head element
       trans th (tr:new-head)

       When the table data node has been created, the parse method or the add-
       child  method  can  be  called  to  add other nodes. another method for
       building the table is to use the add-table method which  uses  a  print
       table  object.  In  such  case,  the  table  rows and data elements are
       automatically added in the table.

       The table structure
       The table can be designed directly with table rows with  table  headers
       and table data elements. Another method, which is more structured is to
       use  the  table  head,  table  body  and  table  footer  elements.  The
       XhtmlThead  class is the table head element class. The XhtmlTbody class
       is the table body element class. The  XhtmlTfoot  class  is  the  table
       footer element class. These classes behaves exactly like the XhtmlTable
       and are in fact all derived from the XhtmlTelem class.

       # create a xhtml table
       const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
       # create a table body
       const tbody (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text" "text" "text")
       # add a print tbl in the body
       tbody:add-table ptbl
       # add the body to the table
       table:ad-child tbody

       A table caption node can also be set with the set-caption  method.  The
       method simply creates a XhtmlCaption node and adds it to the table. The
       caption text is part of the method call which is used  by  the  caption
       node  constructor.  It  is  also possible to create the caption node by
       calling the XhtmlCaption constructor and adding it to the table with he
       add-child method.

       # create a xhtml table
       const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
       # set a table caption
       table:set-caption "the afnix table system"

       The  table  structure can also be defined with the XhtmlCgr class which
       corresponds to the xhtml column group element. The column group element
       is designed to support the col element that formats the table column.

       # create a table
       const table (afnix:wax:XhtmlTable "text")
       # set the table with to 100%
       table:add-attribute "width" "100%"
       # create a column group
       table:add-child (const cgr (afnix:wax:XhtmlCgr))
       # add a column with 30% width
       cgr:add-child (afnix:wax:XhtmlCol "30%")
       # add a column with 70% width
       cgr:add-child (afnix:wax:XhtmlCol "70%")
