Hi Mark,
Try changing sid in the first item to just id. "id" is a special
property that uniquely identifies an item within the exhibit. You can't
use any other property to identify items.
The data model is similar to the web document model in which each web
page has a URL, and then other web pages link to it by specifying its
URL. In the same way, each item has an "id" and other items link to it
by specifying its id.
This is how your data should look like
{
type:"Environment",
id:"PRODWDCF",
label:"Classic Production",
envlocation:"PSC",
},
{
type:"Service",
envid:"PRODWDCF",
id:"ace2050.central",
label:"SOLARIS",
svcversion:"8 117350-54",
svcupdate:"08/09/2008",
},
{
type:"Service",
envid:"PRODWDCF",
id:"wdprod-be1.central",
label:"OA FRAMEWORK",
svcversion:"11.5.10.6RUP + PATCH 6841295",
svcupdate:"08/02/2008",
svcurl:"http://oraclecfgsvcbe.central.sun.com:9200/";,
},
Then if you're showing a table of environments, to show services, use
the expression
!envid
