Many thanks Carlin for clarifications...Unfortunately, it did not solve my problem, and i'm wondering if it is a version-related issue.. I found a workaround myself, even if it is a little bit dirty... I was forced to declare a JavaControl in the PageFlow P2, this causes the generation of the ClientInitializer also for P2, and then all the controls (even the ones defined in base class P1) work correctly (i have no more NPE). This forces me to define a fake java control in each pageFlow to be sure my hierarchy never breaks...
I added a comment on your JIRA issue #1060, hope it helps. Regards. Giovanni. 2006/6/21, Carlin Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Giovanni, In BEEHIVE-1060, if the @Control member of the parent or base class controller is defined with just the default package visibility (no modifier) as... @Control SomeControl _control; ...and used in a base class action method, then it will not get initialized when the inherited action is called for the derived controller. The work around for now is to just declare the control with the protected modifier in the base class... @Control protected SomeControl _control; I updated the zip file with the repro case for BEEHIVE-1060 so it includes the control used to test this specific issue. You can download it as an example. You will need to edit the ParentController and add the protected modifier to the control so that it will work. Otherwise, this example failas as described in the bug. Hope the example helps, Carlin On 6/21/06, Giovanni Motta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1060 i read: > > ...The work around is to make the control field protected rather than > package protected... > > Sorry, my fault, but i don't understand what does it mean...Carlin, could > you explain better, and/or complete your sample with the workaround?
