Working on it...
Almost done! Still need to do some extended tests and I will update the sample solution and the wiki with some usage explanations.

In short, I didn't change the method signatures, but the contextObject can now use 2 more parameters that you can set to define the new behavior:
  • fromString: a boolean, - if true the template will be read from the string provided, - if false or not present, will try to read a template file on the server as before,
  • baseHREF: a URL, with fromString=true, if the xhtml provided in the String has external dependencies (css, images), giving a baseHREF will be needed for the plugin to find them. This is a URL which can be of the form http:// or https:// - or file:/// if the file is on the client side.

I have also deprecated the updatePreview() method of the plugin in favor of an update() method on the Viewer object returned by the previewToComponent() method.
From now on, the previewReport() will also return a Viewer object, thus updating the preview window will also be possible (in smart client only) using Viewer.update()

With such big changes and major possibilities added, I decided that this version will be labeled 1.3.0
