Some more thoughts on why this is the way it is and why there is no componentForElementID(String id) method on WOComponent:

You could hack something out by doing this:

public WOActionResults invokeAction( WOContext aContext, WORequest aRequest ) {

if ( aContext.senderID().equals( aContext.elementID() ) ) {
aContext().page().registerComponentForElementID(this, aContext.elementID());
}
return super.invokeAction(aContext, aRequest);
}

But you would run into problems with stateless components and dynamic elements as their state depends on the exact state of the tree traversal when they are accessed. And the element you are trying to access may have been hidden during another phase leading to inconsistencies down the line and the introduction of security breaches.

Miguel,

Have a look on the examples : /Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/ Frameworks/WOComponentElements
In WXActionURL.java you have exactly what you a looking for :



/**
* Override of invokeAction method - this method is used to perform the action
* from the bindings. This method matches the sender ID with the element ID
* (to ensure this is the instance we want) and then returns the action from
* the bindings.
*/


public WOActionResults invokeAction( WOContext aContext, WORequest aRequest ) {

        if ( aContext.senderID().equals( aContext.elementID() ) ) {
            return (WOActionResults)valueForBinding( "action" );
        }
        return null;
    }

}

HTH,

Hi!

I'm trying some AJAX stuff, and I need to work with the element IDs of the objects. While building the page, i just ask the context what is the current elementID(). But how do I do the reverse operation? How can I ask the context what is the object associated with some ID?

  Yours
