Tom,
Off the top of my head, you sound like you're assigning your multiple
food items to the same variable. Each basket will have to have a
separate key (basket1SelectedFoodItem, basket2SelectedFoodItem, etc.)
Then you would just instantiate an NSMutableArray and add the objects
that have been selected. Is that what you're after?
Here's an article with a more complete solution: <http://
www.codefab.com/wordpress/index.php/category/geek-out/page/2/>
The short answer to your aside is that your hesitation has been
expressed for at least the last 7 years. If WO works for you, use it.
If it doesn't, well, there you go. The reason that the documentation
has been minimally updated is that the technology has not
significantly changed in that same time frame. This is stable stuff.
I guarantee you that any questions that you have are in the archives
of the mailing lists. Sometimes many times over. As you get into more
advanced areas, you may have new questions. Have you looked at the
wiki? <http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?
title=Programming:WebObjects&redirect=no> That seems to be the
collection of most recent stuff.

Hi all,
I'm new to WebObjects and I need a little help. I need to iterate
through a group of EO objects. I'll call them 'baskets' for
example. Each basket object has a to-many relationship to
foodObjects. I used a repetition to iterate through all the
baskets and present a popup asking the user to select one of the
foodObjects from each basket. This all works fine. The problem
I'm having is that I don't know how to get the result (a
foodObject) of each popup back into an array or something so my
code can make decisions based on which item was selected in each
basket. I assigned each WOPopup 'selection' to aSelectedFoodItem.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Just an aside. I am curious that it seems very difficult to find
much support or information online or in books concerning
WebObjects. Apple seems to sporadically update the little
information they have at the developer site. There are only a
couple books published in the last few years and not any well
developed, loaded websites. Am I looking in the wrong places or is
WebObjects a dying technology? Am I wasting my time pursing this
technology instead of something "hot" like ruby on rails or
something like that? Don't get me wrong, I think WO is the coolest
fully developed solution I've ever played with. I am just afraid
that Apple is going to pull the plug on it just as I'm starting to
get good at it.
