Hello all:
I have a WOComponent (not stateless at this time) that I have
embedded into a master page. The embedded component has an API
entry requiring "jobItem." My master component has a binding to
this using selectedObject(). selectedObject() is updated when
selecting an item from a DisplayGroup via WOHyperlink (although
I've also tried a WOSubmitButton in case it was necessary). I've
put messages in the code and I can confirm setSelectedObject() is
happening as well as DisplayGroup.setSelectedObject().
The problem I'm having is that when a new job is selected it is
not pushed to the child component via the binding and I'm not sure
why. The child component continues to display the data from the
previous selectedObject() through the rest of the session. I've
even tried to set synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() to return
true in the child and attempted to use more standard ivars instead
of valueForBinding. The result is the same. At this point I have
no idea why the selectedObject() isn't being passed.
This would probably work better as a stateless component but the
child component also has a child component of its own (for
searching) and I couldn't get the behavior right with reset()
happening at every point in the RR loop. So, I punted.
Am I overlooking something huge?
Need more information. Can you post the code of the component?

Hey Chuck! Thanks for hittin' me back. I was able to get the results
I wanted to by overriding some of the r/r loop methods. In one
subcomponent I used awake() and in another appendToResponse(). For
now this seems to be doing the trick. I should've looked around a
bit more before I started whining.
I frequently put code in those methods that does not really seem to
fit. There is no more "proper" place to do this that I can see.
