Ok, thanks.

I think the 'real' problem is that I'm getting myself tied in knots
without having any documentation for form-widgets.  I'm confused with
the flow of variables, there seems to be a lot hidden behind the scenes.
With JSP's, it's possible to work out what parameters are being set.  

Is there any documentation on what happening behind the scenes when for
example pressing submit of a form-field of a form-widget to controller
to service, back to controller then to screens and back to form
widget?  

It seams like I'm having to drop into the debugger for the
ControlServlet to try and figure out what's getting passed around each
time and form is submitted ...

I've been through the intro videos (although it was some time ago), but
they just seemed to scratch at the surface.  


Thanks,

Chris
