Hi all,
I am new to WO - you may remember back in September I asked
about what I should know when applying for a job that used
WebObjects - well I got the job and now I have a lot to learn :)
Congrats!
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to pass an argument in to
a WO app. We have two different URLs that do a redirect to the app
and I would like the layout to change a little based on which
redirect(URL) the user came from. I have a boolean set up in the
session and I have all the layout changes working based on that
boolean, but I can't figure out how to set the boolean based on
where the user came from when the app started. Can I even do
this? Should I?
The easiest is to get the redirect to append a direct action path, e.g.
http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/sourceA
http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/sourceB
Then in DirectAction.sourceAAction() and DirectAction.sourceBAction
() set the boolean in the session and return the first page.
A bit more flexible is to get the redirect to append a direct action
path and a query string, e.g.
http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/default?source=A
http://my.domain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/default?source=B
Then in DirectAction.defayultAction() use request().formValueForKey
("source") set the boolean in the session and return the first page.
