Application Model Overview : Pages and Actions

Pages and Actions
Pages, along with Actions (Actions) are the building blocks of ActiveGrid applications. Each ActiveGrid Page represents a displayable “web page” in your application. Each Page is defined in its own file. Page files are XForm files and they end in the .xform suffix.
Pages display in AJAX-enabled areas, called AJAXFrames, that can be refreshed independently. Because the ActiveGrid Server can refresh the content of each AJAXFrame independently, only the relevant portion of the application page has to be reloaded when the user takes an action.
ActiveGrid Applications all have one Page “container” called the Page Frame. All the other Pages in the application are displayed in the main AJAXFrame within the Page Frame.
Individual Pages can also contain AJAXFrames, in which they can display other Pages. An ActiveGrid “web application page” is typically composed of several independently rendered ActiveGrid Pages. It can be helpful to think of Pages as components or snippets of web pages. The following figure illustrates how Pages might be displayed in AJAXFrames “nested” within other Pages.
