Example For Seamless Integration of ElanBeans

You can see in the page the seamless integration in Action. Each "item" in the 'pullout-memu' can be an ElanBean. All the ElanBeans can be set to a Table cell. This Table can be a cell in a larger Component and so-on.

Imagin greate web applications one can build using this kind of integration, where each component may be build on remote servers and assembled like building blocks with 'Virtual Web server' that is discussed later.

/***********************Code for Pullout Menu*********************************/

//Assume that these mini-servlet components can generate HTML-code using run-time Stock-data.
StockCB s1= new StockCB("SUNW"); //generates stock quotes of Sun
StockCB s2= new StockCB("INTC"); //generates stock quotes of Intel
StockCB s3= new StockCB("ORCL"); //generates stock quotes of Oracle
StockCB s4= new StockCB("IBM"); //generates stock quotes of IBM
StockCB s5= new StockCB("MSFT"); //generates stock quotes of Micro Soft

//set Menu names on the left side of Pulloutmenu
String items[] = {"Sun","Intel","Oracle","IBM","MicroSoft"}; 

// This method changes Default colors.
String colors[]= {"#A5FED8","white","#FFC8A4","#A8BBFB"}; 
Object contents[] = { s1,s2,s3,s4,s5};

//Create Pulloutmenu object with the above defined properties
PulloutCB po = new PulloutCB(5,items,contents,colors ); 
po.setSize(585,380);
