You have more control if you create the displayGroup in your code (for example in the component constructor, or in initialization for your component).
First create a EODatabaseDataSource, then the displayGroup.
You can then use setFetchSpecification(EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec) or setFetchSpecificationByName(String fetchSpecificationName) on your datasource object. To get the objects, either set "fetchOnload" or use "qualifyDataSource" on the displayGroup.

You don't need to create the displayGroup in code to set its fetch spec, although it can be interesting to do.


I am very much a WO novice, just working my way through Ruzek's "WO
web application construction kit".

WOWACK is a little old now, being WO 4.5; but I still like it the best of the entry level books.

What I
_thought_ I could do was replace the literal declaration of
fetchSpecification for the WODisplayGroup (which I just copied over
from something auto-generated from WO Builder) with a reference to a
method in the component's Java class that returned an
EOFetchSpecification.  That is, instead of this:

            dataSource = {
                class = EODatabaseDataSource;
                editingContext = "session.defaultEditingContext";
                fetchSpecification = {
                    class = EOFetchSpecification;
                    entityName = Task;
                    fetchLimit = 0;
                    isDeep = YES;
                };
            };

I tried this:

            dataSource = {
                class = EODatabaseDataSource;
                editingContext = "session.defaultEditingContext";
                fetchSpecification = activeFetchSpec;
            };


Try:

fetchSpecification = "activeFetchSpec";

for your binding, assuming that this is a method in the component that returns a fetch spec.
