Hello,

Say I have an application that depends on some frameworks containing some more general code and components. Some of the general components are page-level components. Every page-level component in the application contains a wrapper component (LAF.wo) as its outermost element to give a consistent look and feel.

What I want to do is simple: have the general (non-app) page-level components wrapped by the (app-specific) LAF.wo. At the moment, I'm doing this by creating a proxy page-level component in the app which does nothing more than wrap the framework component in the LAF component. For example, say there's an EditFooPage.wo in Foo.framework, I create SomeAppEditFooPage.wo which puts EditFooPage.wo inside LAF.wo. This works just fine, but it would be nice to do it without the additional components in the app.

My first thought was to pass the name of the app-specific wrapper to EditFooPage.wo, and use a WOSwitchComponent in EditFooPage.wo to wrap it in LAF.wo. Although I haven't tried this, I assume it would work. However, LAF.wo offers some bindings to customise some of its behaviour. What I'd really like to do is be able to pass an actual component with some bindings set to EditFooPage.wo, which would then use this as its outermost component. Is there a standard approach for doing something like this?

Direct to Web. You'd pass the extra bindings via the d2wContext. Just create a new Wonder D2W app in Eclipse and look at the PageWrapper there.
