Hi Klaus,

Hi All.

This is probably something obvious (or obviously wrong way of doing it).

I have my Main page, a user logs in and stuff changes on that page. The user navigates to another page, something gets done there and I return to the Main page with "return pageWithName()". Problem is that "return pageWithName()" creates another instance of the Main page. I need my previously instantiated page.

I get the context ID of the Main page using this.context().contextID() before I go to the second page.
Then I tried this when I finish with the second page:

return session().restorePageForContextID(returnToPageWithThisContext);

This returns null, going back to the second page.

How do I get my previously instantiated Main page back? (there is no browser back link, I need to do this in the code)

Thanks for any ideas (or the 'duh' solution).


This is what do in the class that I use for the super class for pages that need to go back:

public abstract class PageWithPreviousPage extends WOComponent {
    private WOComponent previousPage;


    public PageWithPreviousPage(WOContext context) {
        super(context);
        previousPage = context.page();
    }

    public WOComponent previousPage()  {
        previousPage._awakeInContext(context());
        return previousPage;
    }


Then you can just say return previousPage() to go back
