How can I embed a web page in a screen using isCOBOL Web Direct 2.0?

The solution for this is to include a ZK iFrame JavaBean control in your application.

Because isCOBOL WD2 works with the ZK package it is very natural to interact with the JavaBean control.

The following sample shows how to include the JavaBean control in the screen section and the related Java class in the repository paragraph of the configuration section. It also shows how to define the related object in the working-storage and what method to invoke in order to specify the URL.

           class iscobol-java-bean

           .
       working-storage section.

           display screen1.
           perform until crt-status = 27
              accept screen1 
                 on exception 
                    continue
              end-accept
              if crt-status = 100
                 wb:>callMethod ("setSrc", "http://www.veryant.com")
              end-if
           end-perform.
           stop run.
