Nexaweb Ajax and Java projects include ajax-index.xal or java-index.xal pages as the default application launch page. This is the default page on which to begin defining your UI. To change the default launch page for an application project, see Nexaweb Application Overview.
You can edit your XAL or NXML file in the Nexaweb Visual Editor's drag and drop interface by adding Layout panes (or layout managers for NXML files), which control the layout of components on the page, and components to your UI.
You can add layout panes to your XAL file UI by:
Clicking on the Layout Panes drawer in the Palette view to open it and dragging panes into your UI file or onto a container in the UI file
Right clicking in the UI file and selecting Refactor Layout
You can add layout managers to your NXML file UI by:
Clicking on the Layout manager drawer in the Palette view to open it and dragging layouts from the Layout manager into your UI file or onto a container in the UI file
Right clicking in the UI file and selecting Refactor Layout
You can add components to your UI by:
Dragging them from the Palette view and dropping them into a container on the UI.
Dragging them from the Palette view and dropping them onto a container in the Outline view.
Note: The default layout for containers in XAL files is freePane, and in NXML files it is FreeLayout.
