Has anyone tried to use two d2wmodels in the same application. i.e.
the default user.d2wmodel and say mysecond.d2wmodel?
Sure. Everybody does. You get d2w rule files from all the frameworks.
The reason I ask is that we want to return different List and Query
pages for the same Entity (that is, have two different rulesets
depending on context). I see in Project Wonder there is a custom
ERD2WFactory, but it's unclear to me if this allows multiple model
files - as it appears to also just use the application wide
defaultModel.
Why don't you just use a rule in your application's rule file with
something like:
pageConfiguration = 'ListMyEntity' => pageName = 'MySuperListPage' [100]
You super list page should implement the necessary API then.
I split my rules in to separate rule files for the different sections
of my up and use a property to tell Wonder to load them:
er.directtoweb.ERD2WModel.additionalModelNames =
("events
.d2wmodel","datasets.d2wmodel","clinical.d2wmodel","blog.d2wmodel")
These files normally consist of a couple dozen rules. The biggest has
aroud 200 rules in it.
Btw: you should try to use the rules as generic as possible by using
smartAttribute and smartRelationship (check in ERDirectToWeb how these
rules look like). That can safe you a lot of rules.
