I'm sure I'm missing a small bit of common WOKnowledge, because
this seems pretty basic. But help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sending an HTML email using a WOComponent as the source. I've
done this before from within another component but I'm now trying
to do this in a separate (non-WOComponent) standard Java class.
I started with:
EmailHTMLTemplate mailPage = (EmailHTMLTemplate)pageWithName
( "EmailHTMLTemplate" );
If I'm understanding your problem correctly, this can't work, because
the Java class you're in doesn't respond to "pageWithName".
Remember, you're sending messages to objects, and if you're not
explicit the message will get sent to "self".
And got "cannot find symbol"
Thinking the errant symbol might be "pageWithName", I tried this:
EmailHTMLTemplate mailPage = (EmailHTMLTemplate)
WOApplication.application().pageWithName( "EmailHTMLTemplate",
context() );
For the same reason, this can't work, because your Java class doesn't
understand the message "context()".
Ditto. So, do I need to pass in a context()? If so, how? (FYI: this
is a static method and being called from a WOComponent).
Or, am I looking at this all wrong and trying to force fit
something? Anytime I get into a spot like this I think back to
Jonathan Rentzsch's "If you're writing code, you're doing something
wrong" maxim. Perhaps I'm headed in the wrong direction.
Regards,
Drew
You're most likely going to have to pass *something* in so your class
has some hook to get to the context. If an instance of this class is
associated with a session, then you could pass in the session in the
object's constructor. Then you could always get back to what you need.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Mark
