I have reached a dead-end trying to use the DialogDate and
DialogLink widgets.
The only way to initialize them is by using:
DialogFactory.getDialogControlInstanceByName(...) which instantiate
them and automatically calls the init(...).
But inside the init(...) method both widgets are trying to access
their name (getName()) this resulting in an
javax.jcr.RepositoryException.
Indeed this exception is not perpetuated above NodeData, but IMO it
is a mistake to let this happen.
My proposal is to create inside the parent DialogEditWithButton a
method hook that would allow this configuration to happen right
before the drawHtml(...), so that the user can safely configure the
widgets.
If you agree with this I can immediately commit the suggested changes.
I agree, just commit
