WebViewInstance

com.microstrategy.web.objects.WebViewInstance
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

The WebViewInstance encapsulates a template, the grid, graph data and properties associated with it.

The WebViewInstance cannot exist on its own accord - only as part of the following objects:

  • WebReportInstance. This interface extends the WebViewInstance since all reports have an underlying template.
  • getValue() (tentative, and subject to changes). A WebViewInstance is returned if the unit type is RWUNIT_GRIDGRAPH.
  • getViewInstance() (tentative, and subject to changes). Unlike the instance returned from the RWObject, the WebViewInstance returned here is tied to the template via the RWDefinition, and contains no grid/graph data. This representation is useful in design mode.
