Hi all.

I’m looking for a way to programmatically wrap one component instance into another one. Essentially: I want a switch component, but without putting an actual switch component into the child template itself.

Pseudocodingally speaking, I want to be able to do something like this:

public WOActionResults action() {
WrapMe child = pageWithName( WrapMe.class );
Wrapper parent = pageWithName( Wrapper.class );

// somehow wrap ‘parent' around ‘child'…
// ‘parent’ probably has a WOComponentContent in it where child should be inserted.

return child;
}

I realize one approach is to go the other way around, i.e. by putting a switch component in “parent” and then communicating with my child component through bindings on that and returning “parent”. But I need to have the action method return the instance of the child component.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
