I'm having difficulty calling a generic component from a wonder D2W app 
navigation bar. I want to use a "not implemented yet " page as a stub for 
features/sections that are not yet implemented. 

I have a NavigationMenu.plist entry 
[...]
        {
                name = "users";
                directActionName = "niy";
                directActionClass = "DirectAction";
                queryBindings = {page="users";};
        },
        {
                name = "facilities";
                directActionName = "niy";
                directActionClass = "DirectAction";
                queryBindings = {page="facilites";};
        },
        {
                name = "system";
                directActionName = "niy";
                directActionClass = "DirectAction";
                queryBindings = {page="system";};
        }

[...]

I have an ERXComponent named NotImplementedYet and a direct action in my 
subclass of ERD2WDirectAction:

        public WOActionResults niyAction() {
                return 
ERD2WFactory.erFactory().pageForConfigurationNamed("NotImplementedYet", 
session());
        }

I started out with a componentName assignment but then after looking at 
http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Adding+a+Normal+WOComponent+Page+to+an+ERModernLook+based+application
 I replaced that with the following rules:

100 : pageConfiguration = 'NotImplementedYet' => entity = "Center" 
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.EntityAssignment]
100 : pageConfiguration = 'NotImplementedYet' => task = "inspect" 
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
100 : pageConfiguration = 'NotImplementedYet' => templateNameForInspectPage = 
"NotImplementedYet" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]


I have not been able to successfully get the NotImplementedYet component to 
display in this context. I keep getting the error that is described in the wiki 
page:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Couldn't find the dynamic page named 
NotImplementedYet in your DirectToWeb model.task and entity is null, it seems 
that one model, maybe ERDirectToWeb d2w.d2wmodel is not loaded!


I know that the wiki example uses a method bound to the "action" in the 
navigation plist, but I would expect that the directActionName binding and 
action binding would behave similarly (especially since I am seeing the error 
after it finds niyAction)
I feel like I'm spinning out in the wrong direction because I feel like it 
should be easier than this (although adding a dummy entity for this is 
understandable ... wait a minute, what if I changed the pageConfiguration rules 
to "pageConfiguration like "*NotImplementedYet"... nope... same thing. 

I'm going to put this down for a moment and see if I can catch a glimpse of the 
simple, elegant, WOnderful solution out of the corner of my eye. If anybody has 
any suggestions, I'd be very grateful. 

Thank you.
