One thing I'm not sure about is wether it's possible to use the ^

From the rest of your message it seems you meant "wether it's
possible to use the ^ syntax for synchronizing component". The
answer is no. More below.
Yes, sorry, you got it right %-)

Now if I override synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() in
UserName.java to return false, everything works.
But I see lots of examples (e.g. WOTable and WOCheckboxMatrix)
where subcomponent using the ^ don't override
synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() to return false. And I assume
that they work (I haven't tested them).
What am I missing here?
public boolean isStateless() {
return true;
}
"By default, stateless components don't synchronize. So, if you
override this method to return true and you want the component to
synchronize, you must also override
synchronizesVariablesWithBindings and return true."
Thanks a lot Chuck, this explains it.
The API docs for WOComponent.synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() says:
"This method returns false for stateless components (unless you
override isStateless and return true), and true otherwise."
Which, to this non-native english speaker, seems contradictory!
Shouldn't it read "... (unless you override
*synchronizesVariablesWithBindings* and return true)?!?
If this is confirmed, I can file a documentation bug @ radar.
