One thing I'm not sure about is wether it's possible to use the ^ syntax for non-synchronizing component.

From the rest of your message it seems you meant "wether it's possible to use the ^ syntax for synchronizing component". The answer is no. More below.

Yes, sorry, you got it right %-)

Now if I override synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() in UserName.java to return false, everything works. But I see lots of examples (e.g. WOTable and WOCheckboxMatrix) where subcomponent using the ^ don't override synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() to return false. And I assume that they work (I haven't tested them).

What am I missing here?

   public boolean isStateless() {
       return true;
   }

"By default, stateless components don't synchronize. So, if you override this method to return true and you want the component to synchronize, you must also override synchronizesVariablesWithBindings and return true."

Thanks a lot Chuck, this explains it.

The API docs for WOComponent.synchronizesVariablesWithBindings() says: "This method returns false for stateless components (unless you override isStateless and return true), and true otherwise."

Which, to this non-native english speaker, seems contradictory!

Shouldn't it read "... (unless you override *synchronizesVariablesWithBindings* and return true)?!?

If this is confirmed, I can file a documentation bug @ radar.
