Chuck, after getting rid of some code in Awake I find I'm not
getting the value of the sub-component binding back up to the
parent, which was I believe my original problem a while back and the
reason for the unusual code, in trying to be straightforward I now
have:
In sub-component <MonthDayYear.java>
public NSTimestamp mdyValue;
void rtrnDateFromPopups() {
gc.set( Calendar.YEAR, yearNum.intValue() )
...
mdyValue = new NSTimestamp( gc.getTime() );// this is correct at
this point
pushValuesToParent(); // this seems to have no affect anymore
You should not have that.
}
public void takeValuesFromRequest( WORequest aRequest, WOContext
aContext) {
// Assuming that you do want the data from the form...
super.takeValuesFromRequest(aRequest, aContext);
rtrnDateFromPopups();
}
In <EnterEvent.java> file in the Action method of the Submit:
editDate = (NSTimestamp)valueForBinding("mdyValue"); which returns
null,
Yes, I would expect that to return null. That is getting the parent
of EnterEvent's vlaue for mdyValue. Parent's don't ask their children
for values.
// if I don't set <editDate> it has the original parent date.
Without the call to super.takeValues, I would expect that.
Bindings in <EnterEvent.wo> file:
EditMDY: MonthDayYear {
mdyValue = editOldDate;
}
MonthDayYear: MonthDayYear {
mdyValue = editDate;
}
