Handler Object

Below is a snippet from the Handler Object from the zimlet JavaScript file. In zimlet init(), the "tab" application is created. The newly created application name is returned and set as a local zimlet property _simpleAppName for later use.

/**
 * This method gets called by the Zimlet framework when the zimlet loads.
 *  
 */
com_zimbra_example_simpletab_HandlerObject.prototype.init =
function() {
	this._simpleAppName = this.createApp("Simple Tab App", "zimbraIcon", "A simple app in a new tab");
};
