Web Framework Overview
The K2View Web Framework is a container that hosts multiple web applications and provides out-of-the-box services. It improves the system's usability by providing one unified tool with links to several frequently-used web applications running on the same application server. Instead of manually typing the URL to open each application, users can log into the K2View Web Framework and select the application from the context menu.
The K2View Web Framework includes a list of pre-integrated applications such as the Admin. Several of the pre-integrated applications expose the Fabric commands and by that enable the user to work with web-based graphic tool rather than with the Fabric Console.
How Do I Access the Web Framework?
The Web Framework can be opened using the following URL: http://[Fabric IP address]:[Fabric port] or using the 
icon in the Fabric Studio toolbar. For example http://localhost:3213.
Login to the Web Framework using your username and password. This enables a Single Sign On (SSO) process with secure authentication to multiple applications using one set of credentials. Access to the various functions in the applications is restricted by a user's Fabric credentials and is handled in the same way as in the Fabric server.
How Can I Integrate an Application into the Framework?
The K2View Web Framework includes several pre-integrated applications. Additional applications can be integrated into the Framework with minimal development effort by adding the application name to the apps.json file and a folder with the application's code in the Fabric installation folder in Windows in: K2View\Fabric_[version]\Server\fabric\staticWeb. Make sure to clean the browser's cache after updating the apps.json file.
The order of the applications in the context menu list is determined by their order in apps.json.
The Framework exposes a k2api object with various methods that can be used by the application, such as navigation, formatting and Fabric commands invocation. An application's style can be set either using K2View Web Framework style sheets (k2.css) for a unified look & feel or using a different set of style sheets. The Framework supports any application type (multi-page or single page) and any routing method (History API, hash-based or regular links).
Example
To add the My Web App application to the Framework, add the following to the apps.json file:
{
"name": "My Simple Web App",
"appId": "myApp",
"hidden": false
}
In addition, create the myApp folder (the folder name must be the same as the JSON appId) in the same location and save the application code there. Clean the browser's cache before opening the Web Framework with the new application.
