Server operation external definitions
The following table shows the tags (corresponding to classes) and tag attributes (corresponding to class variables) used for externalizing server Operation objects. The operation tag can be either "operation", a tag name with a related class set in the toolkit definition file (such as MyOperation), or a specific class name (such as myPackage.MyOperation). See Tag linking for more information on the refFormat tag.
operation or operation<ClassName> tag attributes
id
The name of the operation. This is a mandatory attribute.
implClass
The name of the class the toolkit is to instantiate if the tag name is "operation". This value overrides any definition for the operation in the toolkit definition file.
context
The name of the operation context.
xVal
The name of the class implementing the process for validating a cross-field business operation. This class must implement the OperationXValidate interface. By providing a specific class that implements the business validation for the concrete operation, the applications can use a generic operation class for more than one business operation yet invoke a concrete validation that may be specific to each operation.
refFormat (FormatElement) tag attributes

hostSendFormat (for host requests)
hostReceiveFormat (for host responses)
csRequestFormat (for requests)
csReplyFormat (for responses)
