In the backingclass I can access the parameters with
actionlink.getParameter("id1") etc.
Is it good practice to use parameters in this situation? Or should I
concatenate the id's for use in getHref(Object) and split them in the
backingclass?
Yep using setParameter is fine. The ActionLink "value" caters for the
common case where only a single value is necessary. Behind the scenes
the "value" becomes another parameter.
Second, Velocity doesn't like setParameter(String, int). It won't get
parsed. Surrounding the ints with quotes works, but it's fugly. Any way
to change that?
Not that I know of. Basically Velocity will behave the same as Java
does. If you invoke link.setParameter("key", 1) the compiler will moan
because there is no such signature. If you what some reusability you
can define a ActionLink subclass which exposes a method
setParameter(String key, int value).
Thanks for your comments, and keep up the good work! If time permits,
I'll look at creating a Click support plugin for IntelliJ if it doesn't
exist. Does it?
Not that I know of. If you do find time to write such a plugin be sure
to let us know and we'll link to it from the website.
kind regards
bob
