Document content response types removed: HTML and JSCRIPT

In the previous release there were four document content response types. Each content response type is a value in the ResponseType property within DocumentContentsInfo.

In version 7.0, the response types were:

  • Raw document contents as an input stream. Response type is DOCUMENT_CONTENTS
  • A web page containing an ActiveX control. Response type is HTML_PAGE
  • JScript code to run on the user’s machine. Response type is JSCRIPT.
  • A URL that can display the content from a local content store. Response type is URL.

In version 8.0, HTML and JScript document production types were removed.

In version 8.0, the only response types are:

  • Raw document contents as an input stream. Response type is DOCUMENT_CONTENTS
  • A URL that can display the content from a local content store. Response type is URL.

Removal of JScript response type does not affect typical JScript use

Note that although the JScript response type was removed, this change does not affect typical client-side document production using JScript on Windows that used Document Assistant. In version 8.0, the Document Assistant is now a Java applet and encapsulates the client-side scripts such as JScript merge scripts for Windows applications. Similar to previous releases, you can use the URL response type to display the Java applet.
