Looks up and caches CSS, Javascript and template files rather than test for their existence with each request

bad_request

Adds the provided error message to the result div after prepending a stock phrase specific to the failed action

deserialize

Dummy method, does nothing in this view

get_verb

Returns the _method parameter from the query which is used by the action class to lookup the action to forward to. Called from the begin method once the current view has been determined from the request content type

not_implemented

Proxy for "bad_request"

process

Calls "_fix_stash", _build_widgets, "_setup_css" and "_setup_jscript" before calling Template::Toolkit via the parent class. Will also call "_fillform" if the override attribute was set in the stash to indicate an error. Encodes the response body using the currently selected encoding

_build_widgets in CatalystX::Usul::View is passed those parts of the stash that might contain widget definitions which it renders as HTML or XHTML

Private Methods

_fillform

Uses HTML::FillInForm to fill in the response body from the request parameters

_fix_stash

Adds some extra entries to the stash

template

Detects and loads a custom template if one has been created for this page

target

_setup_css

For the selected skin sets up the data for the main CSS link and the alternate CSS links if any exist

_setup_jscript

For the selected skin adds it's Javascript file to the list files that will be linked into the page
