Don't be silly!
In particular, the API contains 3 pageWithNames
1. Application.pageWithName().
2. WOComponent.pageWithName().
3. IIRC, WOAction.pageWithName().
Are they all "guaranteed" (ha! we're talking about WO here :-) to call
WOComponent.pageWithName()?
No, but I believe they all call the application version. The
WOComponent version would be implemented as
application().pageWithName(name, context());
While the WOAction one is
WOApplication.application().pageWithName(name, context());
And if so, is that "guaranteed" (ditto) to call the WOComponent.constructor?
No.
Actually, I bet the constructor
doesn't get called for stateless WOComponents except for the first instance.
Well one instance per concurrent thread and one instance per usage on
a page (e.g. in a repetition).
That way, I just need to override/subclass WOComponent's pageWithName.
I've done a fair bit of this. What are you trying to do?
