<h1 class="topictitle1">Page Data view</h1>
<div><p>The Page Data view provides access to data objects in JSP files.</p><div class="p">The Page Data view allows you to add, modify, or delete data objects in
JSP files. The types of data objects are listed below.
<ul><li>Standard scripting variables that are available to all JSP files:
<ul><li><samp class="codeph">applicationScope</samp> that allows you to add and modify attributes
in the application object</li>
<li><samp class="codeph">param</samp> that allows you to add and modify attributes to
be used in the page object</li>
<li><samp class="codeph">requestScope</samp> that allows you to add and modify attributes
in the request object</li>
<li><samp class="codeph">sessionScope</samp> that allows you to add and modify attributes
in the session object</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The Page Data view is, by default, shown in the bottom left corner of the
workbench. It shares a pane with several other views including the Outline
view, the Client Data view, and the Thumbnails view. </p>
<div class="p">You can add, delete, or modify data objects in a JSP file using the Page
Data view. To create and modify a data object: <ol><li>In the Page Data view, right click and select <span class="uicontrol">New</span>.</li>
<li>Select the type of object you want to create. An appropriate wizard opens,
depending on the type of object selected.</li>
<li>Fill in the fields of the wizard and select <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.
The new object appears in the Page Data view. You will need to expand the
appropriate section of the Page Data view to see the new object.</li>
<li>Highlight the object in the Page Data view. The actions that are available
to the data objects include the following:<ul><li>Drag the object directly onto the JSP file. This generates the appropriate
controls in the JSP file. </li>
<li>Right-click and select <span class="uicontrol">Insert New Controls</span>. This
has the same effect as dragging the object onto the JSP file.</li>
<li>Right-click and select <span class="uicontrol">Delete</span> to remove the data
object from the Page Data view. This action does not delete existing data
object from the JSP file.</li>
<li>Right-click and select <span class="uicontrol">Configure</span> to modify the
attributes of the data object in the Page Data view. This action does not
change the existing data objects in the JSP file.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
