Thanks Jerry, I'll stop trying to do that and I'll follow the KVC way.

Cheers.

Hi, Marcos,

What you described is not supported in WebObjects as shown. You're displaying a .wod file and WebObjects only parses the <webobject name=x> syntax in the .html file to relate it to the bindings in the .wod file.

However, I can't see a good reason for doing what you're trying to do here anyway, since WO provides several facilities for referencing the name of the file holding the image data for a WOActiveImage.

By providing a quoted string to the "filename" binding, you can specify the file name as a constant. WO will then use the resource manager to find any file known to the project with that name. You don't have to specify a directory. You just have to be sure that the file is known to the project by adding it.

If you provide a key name (an unquoted value) to the "filename" binding, the key will be used to look for a method or ivar with that name in your WOComponent's class file. You can provide as much intelligence as you desire in a method so named to create the name of the file if it's referenced in this way.

The "data" binding goes much further than that, if you can't add the file to the project before run time. Using the "data" binding, you can find the file containing the image data any way you want, read the contents of the file and simply provide it directly as an NSData object.

HTH.

Regards,
Jerry

Hi List:

I've been thinking if it is possible to bind a WOString to a WOActiveImage filename binding for example, something like this:

String1: WOString {
        value = "Bullet.jpg";
}

ActiveImage1: WOActiveImage {
        filename = <WEBOBJECT NAME=String1></WEBOBJECT>;
        framework = "app";
        action = cancel;
}

Thanks in advanced! _______________________________________________
