That all makes sense now and works perfectly. This conversion might go better than I originally planned.

Thank you very much.

ps: now I can make a nice generalized custom reporting engine!

It would be nice if you had time to share how you went about it. It sounds good!

Instead of using rules


(entity.name = 'PortfolioProject' and propertyKey = 'primaryGroup')  componentName = "D2WCustomComponent"

(entity.name = 'PortfolioProject' and propertyKey = 'primaryGroup')  customComponentName = "D2WPrimaryAlignmentMetricByKey"

use

(entity.name = 'PortfolioProject' and propertyKey = 'primaryGroup')  componentName = "D2WPrimaryAlignmentMetricByKey"

Since you are extending ERDCustomComponent, you shouldn't need the wrapper.  Then you can just call valueForBinding to get whatever you need from the d2wContext.

    public String value(){
     return ((PortfolioProject)object).metricListValueByMetric(valueForBinding("lookupString"));
    }

OK -


I spent a lot of hours last night converting a test version of this application to extend ERXApplication.... etc. I would be doing it the first of the year anyway.

Now I have a little D2W rendering component. I want the rule to change an attribute of it. But I can't seem to make it happen.

here is my simple component:

public class D2WPrimaryAlignmentMetricByKey extends ERDCustomComponent {
public EOEnterpriseObject object;
public String key;
public String lookupString;

    public D2WPrimaryAlignmentMetricByKey(WOContext context) {
        super(context);
    }
    
    
    public String value(){
    return ((PortfolioProject)object).metricListValueByMetric(lookupString);
    }
}


What can I do to get lookupString to be supplied by a rule??

Here is my rule:

(entity.name = 'PortfolioProject' and propertyKey = 'primaryGroup') ==> lookupString com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment "Primary Group"

lookupString is always null when I run my report and debug my component.

What am I missing.
