| I display a different page Component for a user depending on what group they belong to. On each page there is a WOSwitchComponent. There are navigation buttons to reset the selection in a WOSwitchComponent.
I am using a pageName string that is dynamically generated by adding the group code to the component name.
I would prefer the action method names to remain constant so that I can use the same ERXNavigationMenu labels no matter what group the user belongs to.
To do this, it would seem that I need to dynamically cast the WOComponent that is returned when the button is clicked. Is there a way to do this? Here is what I have tried and trying to setSelection(String) on a generic WOComponent generates a compiler error (obviously).
As an example setSelection(String) is a method on the Main1 component and a typical action method to move between sections looks like this:
public WOActionResults toSectionA() { WOComponent nextPage = null; ERXNavigationManager.manager().navigationStateForSession(session()).setState(new NSArray(new Object[] { "my page", "A. Background" })); String usergroupcodestring = _currentUser.surveyGroup().codeNumber(); String pageName = "Main"+usergroupcodestring; String partSelectionString = "Section"+usergroupcodestring;
nextPage = context().page().pageWithName(pageName); nextPage.setSelection(partSelectionString+"A"); return nextPage; }
How do I cast nextPage to the Main1 class so that it can set the selection for the switch component? Or is there a way to setSelection() after the nextPage has been returned and the Class is known?
Thanks,
David |
