Description Roger Blumer 2002-03-29 08:27:24 UTC 
I tried setting a help-id for my RI plug-in tab on the web module (web.xml file),
but hitting F1 when the RI tab is being displayed still shows the general web.xml 
help page.

The code I used was (inside RIWebTopItem.createSheetSets())
Comment 1 Roger Blumer 2002-03-29 08:30:19 UTC 
(sorry for the incomplete description; I was clicking between browser 
& code editor and clicked on the Commit button by accident)
As I was saying:

The code I used was (inside RIWebTopItem.createSheetSets()):
	ps.setValue("helpID", 
"propertysheets_web_module_prop_ri_html");//NOI18N


which works OK for the ejb, ejb-module, and app-asm property sheets.
Is this a bug, or do I need to use a different call for the web-module 
to enable a separate help page for the RI tab?
Comment 2 leslie-robertson 2002-04-01 17:29:18 UTC 
Roger, I don't know the answer to your question, but Damian Frach or
Milan Kucktiak probably do. I agree that the ctx-sensitive help needs
to be enabled at the tab level. Once this is implemented, here are the
proper IDs:

* For the Deployment tab of the web.xml property sheet, the help id
should be:  dd_properties
* For the References tab of the web.xml property sheet, the help id
should be:  dd_references
* For the Security tab of the web.xml property sheet, the help id
should be: dd_security
* As there are no properties related to Tomcat on the web.xml property
sheet, there is no ctx_help required for that tab. 
* Help for the other tabs of the web.xml property sheet will be
provided by the teams developing those plugins.

Comment 4 _ rkubacki 2002-04-02 12:27:33 UTC 
This requires proper copying of helpID attribute in CompositeLook when
property sets are merged. Patch for this is attached. Yarda, can you
review it?
