Integrating UI elements for a plug-in

The

BlackBerry UEM

UI APIs give you the ability to add UI for a plug-in to the management console. This can include options to enable or disable a feature or service, configuration settings, user assignment and management mechanisms, and status information.

When

BlackBerry UEM

executes plug-in code, it integrates the plug-in UI elements in the overall process of displaying the console in a browser. The management console service consists of a UI server (web server) and a UI client.

Java

source code is transpiled to

JavaScript

by the

Google

Web Tookit, and the UI server provides the

JavaScript

code and static resources to the UI client code running inside the browser. The UI client runs the

JavaScript

code in the browser to create and manipulate the appearance of the console.

This process allows for code sharing and object communication between the UI server and the UI client, resulting in optimized versions of

JavaScript

for each browser platform. The UI client can link event listeners to react to different types of events, including user activity, time, system events, and messages pushed from the UI server.
