I have a component that displays Asset objects. These Assets are a to one relation with Manufacturers (one Manufacture many assets).

I am trying to learn how to include a new component so I added:

<wo:NewAsset />

where NewAsset is a new stateless component. The new component works fine. but I am at a loss how to pass to it an object. I tried:

You say stateless, but is it synchronizing or non?


<wo:NewAsset workingManufacturer = "$selectedManufacturer"/>

where there are both setters and getters in NewAsset for workingManufacturer (workingManufacturer and setWorkingManufacturer). selectedManufacturer is the accessor for the Manufacturer selected from a popup. I have an NSLog statement in the getter and indeed it returns the correct selected Manufacturer.

So I want NewAsset's workingManufacturer to be passed this object. I have even tried:

<wo:NewAsset setWorkingManufacturer = "$selectedManufacturer"/>

and the setter in never called. I think it has something to do the the Form.... however if I extend the WOForm to include this component, I get the following error:

er.extensions.components._private.ERXWOForm - This form is embedded inside another form, so the inner form is being omitted: <er.extensions.components._private.ERXWOForm action: null actionClass: null directActionName: null href: null multipleSubmit: null queryDictionary: null otherQueryAssociations: null >

How do I pass this value in to the component?


If the component is non-synchronizing you will need to manually obtain the values for your workingManufacturer:

Something like:

public Manufacturer workingManufacturer() {
        if (_workingManufacturer == null) {
_workingManufacturer = (Manufacturer)valueForBinding("workingManufacturer");
        }
        return _workingManufacturer;
}

and clear out the value in reset:

public void reset() {
        _workingManufacturer = null;
}
