I display a different page Component for a user depending on what
group they belong to. On each page there is a WOSwitchComponent.
There are navigation buttons to reset the selection in a
WOSwitchComponent.
I am using a pageName string that is dynamically generated by adding
the group code to the component name.
I would prefer the action method names to remain constant so that I
can use the same ERXNavigationMenu labels no matter what group the
user belongs to.
To do this, it would seem that I need to dynamically cast the
WOComponent that is returned when the button is clicked. Is there a
way to do this? Here is what I have tried and trying to setSelection
(String) on a generic WOComponent generates a compiler error
(obviously).
As an example setSelection(String) is a method on the Main1 component
and a typical action method to move between sections looks like this:
public WOActionResults toSectionA() {
WOComponent nextPage = null;
ERXNavigationManager.manager().navigationStateForSession(session
()).setState(new NSArray(new Object[] {
"my page",
"A. Background"
}));
String usergroupcodestring =
_currentUser.surveyGroup().codeNumber();
String pageName = "Main"+usergroupcodestring;
String partSelectionString = "Section"+usergroupcodestring;
nextPage = context().page().pageWithName(pageName);
nextPage.setSelection(partSelectionString+"A");
return nextPage;
}
How do I cast nextPage to the Main1 class so that it can set the
selection for the switch component? Or is there a way to setSelection
() after the nextPage has been returned and the Class is known?
Thanks,
David
