dataSource

Description

This advanced feature supports new data sources that can be added to Adobe Dreamweaver.

Multiple versions of a server behavior can differ, depending on which data source you use. For example, the Repeat Region server behavior is designed for the standard Recordset.htm data source. If Adobe Dreamweaver is extended to support a new type of data source (such as a COM object), you can set dataSource="COM.htm" in a group file with a different implementation of Repeat Region. The Repeat Region server behavior then applies the new implementation of Repeat Region if you select the new data source.

Parent

group

Type

Attribute.

Required

No.

Value

The exact name of a data source file within a Configuration/DataSources folder, as shown in the following example:

<group serverBehavior="Repeat Region.htm" ¬dataSource="myCOMdataSource.htm">

This group defines a new implementation of the Repeat Region server behavior to use if you use the COM data source. In the applyServerBehaviors() function, you can indicate that this group should be applied by setting the MM_dataSource property on the parameter object, as shown in the following example:

function applyServerBehavior(ssRec) { var paramObj = new Object(); paramObj.rs = getComObjectName(); paramObj.MM_dataSource = "myCOMdataSource.htm"; dwscripts.applySB(paramObj, sbObj);}
