The script language is intended to create custom content on a page, like reports or related item content in a presentation. The script language uses tag-libraries according to the JSP 1.1 standard. The typical scripting elements are tags including input parameters like in the following example:
<om:showentity modelname="Open model" entityname="Process"key0="Open">
......<%=content%>....
</om:showentity>
This example will show all entities of entity-type "Process" in the model "Open model" having a name that starts with "Open". Between the tags a number of html-tags can be added, while the data is returned in Java variables like 'content' in the example. The tags can be nested.
The relevant objects for scripting purposes are model, entity and item.
The model is a unity that contains a set of related entities containing data that is meaningful for a particular objective or scope.
An entity is an object that contains the occurrences for a number of models.
An item is the elementary data container.
Currently two tags have been implemented: showentity and showitem.
<om:showentity/>This tag shows all entities of a model. The input variables key0 through key3 operate as 'like' values, so all entities that start with the indicated string are displayed. The entity type names can be found in the metamodel description.
| input variables | description | output variables | Description |
| modelname | The selected model | entitytypename | The name of the entity type |
| entityname | The selected entity type | model | The model id |
| key0 | The first key name | mmodel | The metamodel id |
| key1 | The second key name | entity | The entity type id |
| key2 | The third key name | prefix | The entity prefix |
| key3 | The fourth key name | key | The key id |
| language | The default language | ||
| keyvalue | The key names | ||
| table | The table of the entity type |
This tag shows an item of the selected entity. The tag should be contained in an om:showentity/> tag. The itemnames can be found in the metamodel description.
| input variables | description | output variables | Description |
| itemname | The selected item | itemnr | The sequence number of the item content line |
| itemname | The selected item | ||
| type | The type of the item | ||
| subtype | The subtype of the item | ||
| length | The maximum length of the item | ||
| column | The column name of the item | ||

| rentity | The related entity type id | ||
| rprefix | The related entity prefix | ||
| rkey | The related key id | ||
| language | The default language | ||
| rkeyvalue | The related key names |
<om:if/>
This tag evaluates a test and includes the body content if the condition is met.
| input variables | description | output variables | Description |
| test | The test to be evaluated. Curently the supported values are: . first is this the first result? . !first is this not the first result? | No |
The metamodel in this description conforms to the metamodel that is shipped with the Open Modeling installation. The metamodel can be extended and changed using the metamodel browser. In that case this description should be changed as well.
