	Working in the CCXML Editor

The CCXML Editor is used for editing CCXML and JSP templates and pages to create the logic of your call control project. Templates created in a template editor show up based on your cursor position to allow you to enter your own content.

After first creating a base call control project using the Call Control Project Wizard (see Using the Call Control Project Wizard), the Eclipse display of your base call control project shows numerous different tabs to assist in editing and evolving your call control application.

• Problems tab (lower center area tab) - If any illegal content, these "problems" show up as a warning or error.

• Outline tab (upper right column tab) - Uses a hierarchical tree view to display the CCXML code. Content can be edited within tab.

• Properties tab (lower right column tab) - Uses a table view to display the CCXML code. Content can be edited within tab.

• Design tab (lower left tab in main window area) - Uses a hierarchical tree view. Content can be edited within tab.

• Snippets tab (lower center area tab) - Contains clickable "drawers" of JSP or CCXML code snippets that can be added to CCXML or JSP pages. Add snippets to your CCXML code in one of the following ways:

• Drag the snippet to the location where the snippet should be added in the CCXML page and release. The snippet is added to your code.

• Put the cursor in the location where the snippet should be added in the CCXML page. Click the snippet type, and the snippet is added to your code.

• Depending on the snippet type, in some cases a subsequent dialog appears to allow for the entry of variable data to complete the snippet before it is added to your code.

• Since call control projects have no variables, you map only to a variable name of your choosing. The variable will be created on the fly in your script code.

• The Snippets tab provides easy to use CCXML fragments and content to invoke Database operations and Web service operations via proxies. See Using Database and Web Service Operations.

Avaya Application Simulator tab - Allows you to test your call control application in a simulated environment.

The type of content that can be edited or added is controlled by the ccxml.dtd that governs allowable content supported by the Voice Portal platform. This file can be found in the following directory: Eclipse/plugins/com.avaya.cc.core/dtd.
