| Hello,
I've never used WOAnyField before, but I've come across a use case requiring it, or something like it. I have a display group of EOs rendered as a table inside an AjaxUpdateContainer, and batch navigation is handled by ERXBatchNavigationBar. Works fine. Now I have a feature request to be able to search for particular objects in the display group, and WOAnyField seems like the right component—enter the search criterion, click a button, get a filtered display group. So I've added this below the ERXBatchNavigationBar:
<wo:ERXAnyField displayGroup="$displayGroup" sourceEntityName="Source" keyList="$keyList" key="$keyIter" selectedKey="firstName" />
keyList is an NSArray<String> containing "firstName" and "lastName", both attributes on the Source EO.
But now what? Obviously that's not going to submit itself, so I added:
<wo:AjaxSubmitButton action="$someAction" updateContainerID="sourceList" value="Search" />
where "sourceList" is the ID for the containing AjaxUpdateContainer. Is there something I need to do in the someAction() action method? Because all that happens now is I get a container update, but the table renders the entire display group, unfiltered by the ERXAnyField's input, and the ERXAnyField gets reset.
What am I missing here?
