Web Component: Debugging information

This topic introduces the debugging information added to assist with debugging the WebComponent.

Introduced in 2.30, WebComponent is a powerful mechanism that allows you to integrate any "web based" component in your 4GL application. Because of the fully integrated aspect, it was sometimes difficult to setup web components within GDC, and to understand what could go wrong (for example: JavaScript™ error). GDC 2.40 is now showing new debugging information in the debug console:

JavaScript Messages
WebComponent internal debugging info: url loaded, http errors
gICAPI object debugging info: creation, bridge (GDC // JavaScript) setup
API debugging: calls to onData, onProperty, onFocus, setData, setFocus, Action

The figure shows an example of Web Component Debugging information, available with GDC 2.40.

You will have to enable webcomponent debugging in the console to see the messages.
