Hi Gustavo,
I tend to work at a fairly low level with WO so you may get a nicer solution from someone else, but the basics are as follows:
You create a direct action by adding a method to the DirectAction.java file. WebObjects expects the method names to end in the word Action. So say you want a direct action called "userInfo" you would create a method called userInfoAction:
public WOComponent userInfoAction() {
}
In order to generate the content you can create a WOComponent lets say you named it "UserInfoPage" and then you fetch the component using pageWithName() and return it as follows:
public WOComponent userInfoAction()
{
WOComponent nextPage;
nextPage = pageWithName("UserInfoPage");
return nextPage;
}
When you request the page you must leave off the word "Action" so the url would be:
I would then pass in parameters on the url like userid:
and then read the form value using formValueForKey():
public WOComponent userInfoAction()
{
WOComponent nextPage;
String userID = request().formValueForKey("userid"); // Get the user ID.
System.out.println("User ID: " + userID); //Print the user ID.
nextPage = pageWithName("UserInfoPage");
return nextPage;
}
Regards,
Rob.

Hi Gustavo,
You can use a Direct Action if you don't have a session.

Hello, this is what I need to achieve.
I have an J2ee app running on apache, and I have a WOApp running on a G5.
Now, I want to show in the j2ee app in an iframe a WOComponent that will show a list of items from the database based on a selected User, user is an Enterprise Object.
I read somwhwere, but I cant recall where, that I can acces the WO without the neeed of a session ID, or even authenticating, as I said I can't find where I read about it.
Questions, will this approach, will allow me to do fetch to the DB even without a SessionID?, (silly question, I know but as you know im still new to some things).
Will this approach be better than doing WebServices with WO?....
What will be your suggestions.? thinking that I need to select a user and filter the query. ?, should the user selection pop up be inside the WOComponent, or should it be sent somehow to the WOComponent from the j2ee?
confused here. :S//...
any help as alwasy will be very very appreciate it.
Im in the mood today to make things work... :P :P :D
thx
