I am using pagesDisplayGroup.selectedObject() successfully in other actions of the page.

Also, on the page I have a WOtextField with value = pagesDisplayGroup.selectedObject.pageTemplate

that shows the data which I am trying to use. So selectedObject() is not null and the attribute "pageTemplate" has some data in it.

I can display the field on the page, but how do I call the same data in an action?

String desiredComponent = pagesDisplayGroup.selectedObject ().pageTemplate(); doesn't seem to work.

But the trouble starts when I change the action to this...

public String desiredComponent;

public WOComponent doWebTemplate()
{

String desiredComponent = pagesDisplayGroup.selectedObject ().pageTemplate();
WOComponent nextPage = pageWithName( desiredComponent );

return nextPage;
}

What is the correct way to write the line to get the value of "pageTemplate"?
I get a can't resolve symbol error, or with other variations on the line I'll get a Null pointer exception when it runs.

I guess that selectedObject is null. How does the page know, what the selectedObject should be? How do you set this?

Next guess: you may display a page with a list of objects, where each of them has a "pageTemplate", somehow you select one of the objects and it should return the string value - but you have to assign "selectedObjects" of the displayGroup somehow.

Can you give some more info?
