RE: custom edit page not possible

[Ken in Nashua]

I was able to get my java running and override a property on the BeanEditor 
component

The commented out code is what prevents the event handler from being invoked... 
I dont have the answer to why though

    // @OnEvent(EventConstants.ACTIVATE)
    // Object activate(Class clazz, String id)
    
    //@OnEvent(EventConstants.ACTIVATE) 
    //public Object onActivate(Class clazz, String id) 
    //{
      
        //if (clazz == null) return Utils.new404(messages);
      
        //this.bean = contextValueEncoder.toValue(clazz, id); 
        //this.beanType =  clazz;
      
        //if (bean == null) return Utils.new404(messages);
      
        //return null;  
    //}
     
    /*
    @Property(write = false)
    private TynamoClassDescriptor classDescriptor;
    */

    @Property
    private BeanModel beanModel;
       
    @Inject
    private BeanModelSource beanModelSource;
    
    public Object onActivate(String id)
    {
        if (beanType == null)
            return Utils.new404(messages);

        this.bean = contextValueEncoder.toValue(beanType, id);
        
        if (bean == null)
            return Utils.new404(messages);
        
        beanModel = beanModelSource.createEditModel(beanType, messages);
    
        return null;
    }
