Hi Chuck
What I want to do is something like this:
<html>
<body>
<WEBOBJECT NAME=Component1></WEBOBJECT>
</body>
</html>
Component1: Component {
content = getContent;
}
public WOComponent getContent() {
ReusablePage page = pagewithName("ReusablePage");
//Do some stuff with the page
return page;
}
So the problem is that you need to "Do some stuff with the page" so
that WOSwitchComponent will not work for you? I am still a little
confused at what WOSwitchComponent or WOComponentContent is lacking.
Exactly, I need to do what WOSwitchComponent and WOComponentContent
can't do. ;-)
I just want to know if it's possible to do something like this, if
don't I suppose I'll have to use bindings in the ReusablePage,
I _think_ it is possible to do what you need.
Might be overriding appendToResponse?
if that is the case I have another question, where is the best place
to clean/initialize variables in reusable components, I use to do
that in the awake method, for example:
public void awake() {
super.awake();
if (((Boolean)valueForBinding("clear")).booleanValue()) {
//Clear/Initialize some variables
}
}
Does reusable mean stateless? awake() works for both stateless and
stateful components, but for stateless ones, you need to implement
reset() to set all the values back to null.
Only reusable, not stateless. Then I will continue using awake for that
purpose.
I also do not / would not use a binding like clear as shown above. I
tend to use lazy initialization like this:
public void clear() {
if (clear == null) {
clear = (Boolean)valueForBinding("clear");
}
return clear == null ? false : clear.booleanValue();
}
Then, if this value needs to get updated, in awake() or reset,
public void awake() {
super.awake();
clear = null;
}
Nice tip!
Does any of that help?
It helps, thanks!

Hi List,
I have a doubt, is there a way to create a new instance of a
WOComponent and then bind it to some component, a kind of
WOSwitchComponent but with a different instance of the WOComponent
each time?
Thanks in advanced.
