Loading Views from the Browser Address Bar

When testing new view files that are not yet referenced from the Navigator, you can open them directly from the browser address bar. For example, to open the ab-ex-report-grid-sql.axvw view, type in the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/archibus/ab-ex...-grid-sql.axvw

You do not need to type in the full relative file path because Web Central can find any view by name, regardless of its location. Note that you cannot have two files with the same name in different folders.

You can also browse the folders and open view files interactively. For example, you can browse all Solution Examples view files by typing the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/archibus/schem...cts/solutions/

For security reasons your Web server may have this directory listing feature disabled. For Tomcat, check that the listings parameter value in the conf\web.xml file is set to true:

<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
