Hi all,
I am trying to write a custom component which picks up data from an
external source and has to display said data in two ways, similiar to a
portlet. First an intro title and text then after clicking on the link a
full blown article with photo and body title. The client may eventually
go for portlets but as of writing there is no portlet container.
The first part is working, I generate a table in which there is an intro
title followed by the intro text in the next row. Styling works for both
parts :-)
Now whene I click on the read further link I want to explode the
contentlet and take over full screen...but how?
I tried manipulating servletresponse and got new data plus some original
data. I tried to forward and dispatch to another jsp which seems to be
working but I'm not passing any data along. I tried to write some text
to the context but it's not displaying in the next page. here's some
code I've been playing with, would appreciate tips on how to achieve this
String view = "/page2.jsp"
LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory = (LifecycleFactory)
FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
Lifecycle lifecycle =
lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE);
ApplicationFactory appFactory = (ApplicationFactory)
FactoryFinder
.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);
Application application = appFactory.getApplication();
ViewHandler viewHandler = application.getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = viewHandler.createView(context, view);
viewRoot.setViewId(view);
context.setViewRoot(viewRoot);
context.getResponseWriter().writeText("collie", null);
lifecycle.render(context);
/Colin
