I think, if I understand correctly, he's saying he has a parent component with a save action, and a sub-component the he wants to call the parent's save action.

You have two options: 1) pass in parentActionName as a String, and call performParentAction(thatName) in your subcomponent action method, 2) turn off automatic binding synchronization, pass in the actual action itself to the subcomponent, and when you valueInComponent() the WOAssocation of that binding, it will execute the action, returning a WOActionResults to you.

Nested component take what they need from the parent, the parent does not pass it down of its own accord. That said, I doubt that I understand the scenario you have. Can you provide more detail?

Hello -

I have created a common navigational element to peruse a DisplayGroup.
When one in a detail record the navigational component will show
cancel   save   next   prev.

I have bound the dg to this component and so next and prev work fine.

However for save, I don't want the save method to be used here, I would
like it to notify the nesting page component's save method.


WOBuilder can't show it to you, but you can do this:

action = context.page.saveMethod;

You could also make a method like

public TopLevelPage page()
{
    return (TopLevelPage) context().page();
}

and then WOBuilder will help you bind

action = page.saveMethod;
