Here is the real problem....
I need for the popup page to know the parent page so that javascript
can do its magic. If I use a DA then there is really no parent page
while a component action gives you the parent page.
Maybe what you suggest will work then. I will try that tonight.

Chuck -
I have been reading and re-reading that section. And, I still
can't seem to grasp one
fundamental issue and that is how I am to relate my current
EOObject to the action.
Each bubble on my graph is a project. Clicking on a bubble
popups the project window.
So...
They are in a WORepetition, right?
No... jFreeChart when it renders its graphic has its own classes
to render the associated URL while it does that.
So I can give it a context and any text.. probably pass it an eo
too. That is about it.
Do I have to create and insert context.elementIDs through each
iteration jFreeChart does?
confused.
Yeah, me too! :-) In that case, I think that what you want is to
do is to create the URL once and append something like ?
projectID=123 to it. Then, in the action method, get the projectID
form value, use EOUtilities.objectWithPrimaryKeyValue to convert
123 to an Project EO, then return a page showing that. It will be
similar to a direct action with a query string / parameter, but it
will hit an action method instead of a direct action. Does that
make sense? Will that work with jFreeChart (I have never used that)?

I can see how to construct the URL, even invoke an action,
however, I am still mystified
about how it is to know what object the URL is referring too.
Does this make sense?
All that you can know is that the URL is for the current item in
the repetition. The URL is not for a specific object, just for a
specific place in the iteration through the tree of WOElements.
So in your invokeAction method, when context.senderID().equals
(context.elementID()) then whatever is bound to the 'item' of the
WORepetition has the correct Project to popup a window for.
I am also not clear on why you don't just use a WOHyperlink for
this.

Basically I am using jfreeChart and need to create a popup of
an object.
I can make it work great with direct actions however, for
reasons unimportant here,
I need a componentActionURL.
My question I think is how to set the action for
WOContext.componentActionURL?
I think you are thinking about this backwards. The frameworks
compute the URL based on where in the tree of WOElements it
is. You don't set the action. The question to ask is, "How do
I know if the incoming action is for me?" The answer is to
check if context.senderID().equals(context.elementID()). See
