Hi Samuel!

So it is better for me to pack all my components in the same app with the template. (Actually there are in differents frameworks)?

Or is it a better solution to do this?

Hi,

Usually, I use WOSwitchComponent for an editor component used for an entity with subclasses. The switch is based on the object real entity to select the right editor component.

With WOSwitchComponent, there are 2 things to ensure:

1- Binding required for the used components are common to all of them.

2- Make sure the the component used by the WOSwitchComponent does not change between two responses, breaking this rule is easy and produce very nasty results. i.e. it should change only during appendToResponse. (Same rule for WORepetition list...)

For surrounding contents commun to multiple pages, a PageWrapper using the WOComponentContent is a better pattern, I often even stack them. A main page wrapper for the application and a specialized one for admin sections or visitor pages that will include the main one.

WOComponentContent indicate to place the content between the parent <WEBOBJECT> and </WEBOBJECT> tags. It is a reverse inclusion to add content around us !

Hi everyone,
Actually, i think all my pages (managed by woswitch) will have the same binding.

I am now implementing the woswitching and it seems to work fine for the moment.

The one thing i am having problem with is the menu on which user will click to trigger

the component switch.

Trying to use AjaxUpdateLink for the first time.

Thank you all for your contributions.

Ronald.

As is, WOSwitchComponent expects all child switched components to take the same bindings. It can be a pretty surly limitation. If your subcomponents take the same binding(s) then WOSwitchComponent works pretty great.

For “fun,” I created a set of interfaces (one each, for the base page with the switch component, and the switched component) which, when implemented, enforces an api where you can pass custom bindings. Then I can pass a single dictionary of bindings.

Works fine, but I’m not sure the cure was better than the disease!

Those 2 objects are available in most lower level objects and can be set from the upper level just as easily.
