Here's the idea: I have a custom component page from somewhere else with javascript that does a whole bunch of calculations based on values of an EO.
No problem, I thought, according to the D2W Rules References I follow rule 7: (http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/D2W+Rules+Reference+-+Cookbook+-+FAQ) 7. How do I easily use my own custom component in a Direct to Web page? Step 1: Add the following rules to your rule file: 100: pageConfiguration = "ListTheEntity" and propertyKey = "theProperty" => componentName = "D2WCustomComponent" 100: pageConfiguration = "ListTheEntity" and propertyKey = "theProperty" => customComponentName = "MyThePropertyComponent" Step 2: Create a component in your project named 'MyThePropertyComponent' and give it an 'object' and 'key' binding. The object will receive the current object, and the key will receive the current propertyKey (as a string) from DirectToWeb. Do with them what you will. public EOEnterpriseObject object() { return (EOEnterpriseObject) valueForBinding("object" ); } public String key() { return (String) valueForBinding("key" ); } So I add these methods, but removed this propertyKey thingy because I want my the entity to be used as the object. Im my situatiion: 100: pageConfiguration = "InspectTheEntity" => componentName = "D2WCustomComponent" 100: pageConfiguration = "InspectTheEntity" => customComponentName = "MyNiceJavascriptAndAllPage" first I had to add some extra methods to this page, because WebObjects complained it could not set object and key values, so I added: public void setObject(EOEnterpriseObject anObject) { currentObject = anObject; } public void setKey(String aKey) { currentkey = aKey; } But then it displayed the page. 20 times. I get a display of my custom page for all the components in the page. So component 1 displays a complete empty page, component 2 etc. None of my EOEnterprise values are displayed from the EOObject that I selected. I must be missing something. I understood that the object would pass through the current select enterprise object, and I could use that to fill in the values in my custom page. Apparently, that is not the case. I tried to find some customcomponent in the d2wmodels of BugTracker or ERMoviesDemo, but did not find anything over there. Can someone enlighten me?
