Unfortunately, there is no way to refer to a variable in WTKX before you declare it. Like a script, WTKX is processed linearly. In general, this does not cause a problem because you often want to refer to other page variables in an event handler, which isn't evaluated until after the WTKX document has been completely processed. See this thread for more info (WTKX has been renamed to BXML in Pivot 2.0):
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pivot-dev/201008.mbox/%[email protected]%3e As an alternative, you could create a script block at the end of your document that creates the association between the action and the table view. Alternatively, if you use Pivot 2.0, you can use namespace binding to accomplish this: <loadAction:LoadAction table="${view}"/> Namespace bindings aren't processed until the entire document has been read.
