Declaring a Web App Definition
Web applications are structured hierarchically:
The web application and the modules available in the application with their respective access rights are declared in the .wad Web App definition. The individual components with their respective layout and available controls are described within the respective component and referenced in the Web App definition.
When declaring .wad files, the file is automatically validated. Thus, possible sources of errors can be reduced already during the creation of web applications.
The root element of the .wad file is <WebApp>. The element contains all other elements of the Web App. Attributes control the appearance and behavior of the Web App.
