A generic UI screen is defined by an XML-descriptor and a controller class. The descriptor has a link to the controller class.

In order to be able to invoke the screen from the main menu or from Java code (e.g. from controller of a different screen) the XML-descriptor should be registered in the project’s screens.xml file.

The main menu of an application is generated separately for the Web Client and the Desktop Client based on the menu.xml files, located in the project’s web and desktop modules.
