Good advice, Dirk. Just to flush in the 'read the apple docs' part:
A handy shortcut to use the value of a binding directly in a component
is to use a special syntax to refer to the value of a binding. THis
is
the carat symbol, followed by the binding name.
So for the title of the page, add this:
<html>
<head>
<title><WEBOBJECT NAME=titleString></WEBOBJECT></title>
</head>
and define the value of the string as ^title
alternately, you could set the value of the string to title (without
the carat) and provide the following accessor in your pagewrapper:
public String getTitle() {
return (String)valueForBinding("title");
}
Once you get bindings figured out you can do some really nifty
reusable
components.
i've been doing this for a little while now and it is sorta doing what
I want. However, how would i go about setting bind values for the
pageWrapper programmatically? presently, I'm just setting them in
WOBuilder, but I'd like to set them from the .java file of the
contained component. the problem is that their is no instance of the
pageWrapper class within the contained component... how do i go about
referencing it?
thanks,
