In our application, we have a log in component which adds a User object
to the Session if the supplied credentials are correct.

For testing purposes, we use a 'component menu' component which displays
a list of available components, and provides action methods to display
them individually.

We can write an action method in the menu to do a login and then display
the component, like this (pseudo code)

Public WOComponent doLoginAndCallNewPage(){
        // do usual login stuff
        // return the actual page we want
}

Which is all well and good, but feels clumsy, and hard codes the login
variables. I wondered if we couldn't somehow call the desired page and
address its user variable from the WOD, something like this:

MyWebObjectName : MyDesiredComponentName {
        user = <some construct to set a User to this variable>;
}

Or if there wasn't some other, more elegant approach list members might
suggest.

Also, is there an instructional resource on using WOD in this sort of
way, please?


Many thanks



Lachlan
