In general, values are pulled from parent to child with WOComponent.valueForBinding( ... )

and pushed from child to parent with WOComponent.setValueForBinding ( ... , ...)

Also, unless you have disabled synchronization on the component, WebObjects subcomponents automatically pull and push binding values at the beginning and end of each phase of the R-R loop.

Reading the WOComponent api javadocs are essential (mandatory) to understand subcomponents. Also Practical WebObjects has a piece on the life of a component or sth like that which is invaluable for understanding what is going on.

Here is a bit on reusable stateless subcomponents that might be os use:

Hi all

I know this might sound like a complete newbie question:

I want to implement a component that I can reuse in multiple places. I
manage to push values from it's parent component down to the subcomponent
but can't find a way to get values back.

What I did up to now:

1. implemented the subcomponent to get a WODisplayGroup from it's parent
component
2. implemented a method to return the selected item of the WODisplayGroup

Now I wan't to be able to get the selected object into the parent component:

3. I bound that return-method to a settable value in the parent component.
4. I also created the api-file.

Anyone who can help me on this?

Thanks.
