Gudmundur,
To integrate Longwell-CSI with your webapp, first, longwell-csi must be
served on the same domain as the webapp (meaning that its scripts must
have URLs with the same domain as the HTML file into which you want to
integrate the Longwell-CSI user interface). Second, take a look at
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/longwell/trunk/src/main/webapp/longwell-csi/templates/commands/start.vt
That's a Velocity template (much like ASP or JSP). Actually, it's
probably easier to just look at the HTML that Longwell-CSI serves up by
default. There are a few things in there that you need to copy over to
your HTML file.
- the various <link> elements at the top for styling
- the various <script> elements
- the onLoad event and its hook in the <body> element
Also, within <body>, you must have 3 <div> elements with id equal
"control-panel", "view-panel", and "browse-panel". You can place them
anywhere and style them anyhow you like.
Let us know if that works out for you!
