Hello -
I am developing a new website and decided correctly or incorrectly,
to have my wrapper page(s) be the main page and then swap out the
content in the wrapper with the switch component.
My question is.. normally I have code like nextPage.setEC(ec), etc.,
How do I do this with my architecture as the wrapper really is the
next page?
Implement a new abstract subclass of WOComponent called something
like WrapperArchitectureComponent. Add an ivar and accessors for the
editing context etc. Override a couple of significant methods, eg
awake(), appendToResponse(), takeValuesFromRequest() and invokeAction
(), to call another method -- wrapperHelper() maybe? -- and then call
super.
wrapperHelper() should look something like this:
public void wrapperHelper() {
if (ec==null) setEC((WrapperArchitectureComponent)parent().ec());
}
Make all your wrapped components and the wrapper inherit from
WrapperArchitectureComponent, and in the wrapper page class itself,
override
wrapperHelper():
public void wrapperHelper() {}
This isn't the only way of dealing with this, but all the good ways
seem to involve making an abstract subclass of WOComponent to
encapsulate as much of the plumbing as possible.
Or is what I am doing just wrong?
Almost certainly!
