ok this is what I figured out so far:
10 : (look = 'ERModernLook' and (task = 'list' or task = 'select' or (task =
'edit' and subTask = 'list'))) => repetitionComponentName =
"ERMDSimpleListPageRepetition" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
from that rule, I see that if we are creating a ListPage, this rule says to use
"ERMDSimpleListPageRepetition".
So I created my own framework, and created a component
"TPMDSimpleListPageRepetition" copying the html, wod, java where they belonged.
then I created a rule:
10 : (look = 'ERModernLook' and (task = 'list' or task = 'select' or (task =
'edit' and subTask = 'list'))) => repetitionComponentName =
"TPMDSimpleListPageRepetition" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
and my D2W app is using my ListPageRep.
so my next step was to create a WOString at the top of my new shiny component:
<webobject name = "CopyOnTop"/> and in the wod:
CopyOnTop : WOString {
value = d2wContext.topCopy;
}
so that in my method that calls in the listPage I added:
page.d2wContext().takeValueForKey("This is some copy Call Reports", "topCopy");
and it gives me what I want. I can just wrap it in a div and the stylist and go
to town.
but, can I add a WOComponent instead of the WOString? If yes, the bindings are
not obvious. I will keep looking maybe a solution will jump out and bite me.
adding a component would be handier, easier if I had a few paragraphs of
information to add.
