Implemented: Add a framework method to get main webapp menu with the webapp name
(OFBIZ-10601)
To improve theme management and provide better tools for new themes, we implement a method to obtain the main menu of a webapp.
Instead of just managing a menu, we extend the functionality by offering a method to expose a summary of the webapp, to simplify the navigation.
For this we add a new attribute on webapp definition app-shortcut-screen :
<webapp name="mywebapp"
...
app-shortcut-screen="component://mycomponent/widget/CommonScreens.xml#ShortcutApp"
...
/>
The idea is to define a new purpose screen *Shortcut* that contains what defines a webapp when an action or navigation has been requested. With this screen you can load a menu, a search, a complex description and use all screen powerfulness to resolve what displaying and support by theming
<screen name="ShortcutApp">
<section>
<actions>
<property-map resource="CommonUiLabels" map-name="uiLabelMap" global="true"/>
</actions>
<widgets>
<decorator-screen name="ShortcutDecorator" location="component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml">
<decorator-section name="body">
<include-menu name="MyShortcutAppBar" location="component://mycomponent/widget/CommonMenus.xml"/>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>
Each component are self-sufficient to define what shortcuts to display without framework change or knowledge about other component.
Each theme can implement and customize the display rendering at will.
To illustrate an example of implementation we set sub menu for each webapp defined on applications and exploit it on bluelight theme.
