Hi!
The short reason for this is simple: pageWithName needs to know
the context so that it may correctly initialize the EmailHTMLTemplate
component internal data structures, and also some stuff on the
Session, if it exists (like backtracking, I guess).
An WO app is not just a bunch of web pages. Each time you return
(or generate) a component, it must be integrated in all the app flow.
For example, an obvious reason why you need to give context to the
"component generator" (the magic behind pageWithName) is because the
current language is part of the context info. So, WO needs to know
the context to know what is the version of the component it should
load from disk.
More experienced WO guys will tell you all about this in more
detail, but I think my text is a bit superficial, but correct! :)
Yours

I'm sending an HTML email using a WOComponent as the source. I've
done this before from within another component but I'm now trying
to do this in a separate (non-WOComponent) standard Java class.
I started with:
EmailHTMLTemplate mailPage = (EmailHTMLTemplate)pageWithName
( "EmailHTMLTemplate" );
And got "cannot find symbol"
Thinking the errant symbol might be "pageWithName", I tried this:
EmailHTMLTemplate mailPage = (EmailHTMLTemplate)
WOApplication.application().pageWithName( "EmailHTMLTemplate",
context() );
Ditto. So, do I need to pass in a context()? If so, how? (FYI: this
is a static method and being called from a WOComponent).
Or, am I looking at this all wrong and trying to force fit
something? Anytime I get into a spot like this I think back to
Jonathan Rentzsch's "If you're writing code, you're doing something
wrong" maxim. Perhaps I'm headed in the wrong direction.
Regards,
Drew
