XML Templates for Your Component
Although it is not strictly necessary to do so, your 5250 Component may require
you to create XML templates so that you have sample documents for designing
your component. (For more information, see Chapter 5, “Creating XML
Templates,” in the exteNd Composer User's Guide.)
In many cases, your input documents will be designed to contain data that a
terminal operator might type into the program interactively. Likewise, the output
documents are designed to receive data returned to the screen as a result of the
operator's input. For example, in a typical business scenario, a terminal operator
may receive a phone request from a customer interested in the price or
availability of an item. The operator would typically query the host system via
his or her 5250 terminal session by entering information (such as a part number)
