The Navigator view, a standard Eclipse view, provides a hierarchical view of the resources in the Dialog Designer speech project. (See the Speech Navigator View for even more control over your resources while designing applications.)
Following are the main features of the Navigator View:
- When you create a speech project in Dialog Designer, it automatically creates the following element folders in the project folder:
- connectivity - This folder contains any database or Web service operations files you create as part of your project.
- data - This folder contains mostly files that are derived from other files. For example, when you create a grammar, the Grammar File Editor creates a *.gram file that contains the metadata for the grammar. When you generate the project, Dialog Designer creates a *.grxml file that contains the actual XML grammar file. This *.grxml file is derived from the *.gram file.
- Usually, the derived files in this folder are hidden, and are not shown in the Navigator view.
Do not attempt to manually edit these files.
- This folder also contains the log folder. The log folder is where log files created during application testing are written. You can view these log files, if necessary, as an aid in debugging your applications.
- Finally, this folder also contains a temp folder where any messages you record during application testing are stored.
- flow - This folder contains the main.flow file. This file is the core of your call flow application (speech project). It is built and edited using the Call Flow Editor.
- icons - This folder contains several icons used for Dialog Designer. Do not delete or alter these icons.
- languageName - This folder contains all the phrase, prompt, media and grammar definition files for your speech project. Whenever you create or import a phrase file, a prompt file, a media file or a grammar file, Dialog Designer places the file in the appropriate subfolder of this folder.
- The actual name of this folder is the name assigned to the project primary language.
- WEB-INF - This folder contains all the output files created whenever you generate or build the project. Essentially, these files are what get packaged when preparing the application for deployment.
- work - This folder is used as a temporary folder by the Tomcat servlet engine. Do not attempt to manually edit the contents of this folder.
- You can open the editors for many project resources, such as phrases, prompts, media and grammars by double-clicking the file in the Navigator view. For example, to open a specific phrase in the Phrase File Editor, you can double-click the *.phrase file.
- You can also perform many other actions on selected project resources by right-clicking the desired resource and then, selecting the appropriate action from the context menu.
One especially useful option of these context menus is the ability to generate
individual files or project resources. For example, to regenerate a project
grammar without having to regenerate the entire project, right-click the *.gram file
in the Navigator view. Then click Generate from the context menu.
