Hi, I've been playing with the ZK (www.zkoss.org) framework for building AJAX apps, and so far have found it rather impressive and easy to use.
Having hit my first roadblock now is getting DataContext, as each ZK request runs in a separate thread (see: http://www.zkoss.org/smalltalks/zkacegi/zkacegi.dsp ) I think this is the problem why I can't get DC with WebApplicationContextFilter and DataContext.getThreadDataContext (). I get "IllegalStateException: Current thread has no bound DataContext." Looking into src for DataContext I see this comment // TODO: Andrus, 11/7/2005 - should we use InheritableThreadLocal instead? So I subclassed DataContext and overrode the : ThreadLocal threadDataContext to be InheritableThreadLocal threadDataContext changed WebApplicationContextFilter to call my subclassed DataContext and bingo it works. Not sure if anyone else has run into this kind of thing before? I would raise a JIRA issue but I'm not yet confident that this is the 100% correct solution. Steve
