Markus,
I have a very similar implementation is an app where a new user is added by
selecting a contact.
In my UsagerList component where I have the new user function I have this in my
html file:
<wo:AjaxModalDialog label = "$localizer.UsagerList.button.ajouterUsager" width
= "800" title = "$localizer.UsagerList.button.ajouterUsager" class = "tiny
button" style = "margin-bottom:0;">
<wo:ContactSelector selectedContact = "$selectedContact" selectAction =
"$addUsager"/>
</wo:AjaxModalDialog>
....
<wo:AjaxModalDialogOpener class="tiny button" title = "Édition d'un usager"
action = "$editItem" dialogId = "usagerEditor"
>Éditer</wo:AjaxModalDialogOpener>
The add button open the modal that display my ContactSelector component with 2
bindings. The selectedContact will contain the selected contact (an object of
my Contact entity) and the selectAction will be performed upon selection.
In my UsagerList java class, I have a public WOActionResults addUsager()
method that create or edit a user for this contact in a modal dialog. In your
case, just put the value in the desired attribute of your edited object and
close the displayed modal dialog by calling AjaxModalDialog.close(context());
For your situation, I would add the to the closeUpdateContainerID = "editor"
AjaxModalDialog bindings to refresh the form and show the selection to the user.
public WOActionResults addUsager() {
EOEditingContext ec = ERXEC.newEditingContext();
Usager usager = Usager.fetchUsager(ec,
Usager.CONTACT.eq(selectedContact().localInstanceIn(ec)));
if (usager != null) {
setEditedItem(usager);
AjaxModalDialog.open(context(), "usagerEditor",
localizer().localizedStringForKeyWithDefault("UsagerList.text.editerUsager"));
}
else {
Usager newUsager = Usager.createUsager(ec);
newUsager.setContact(newUsager.localInstanceOf(selectedContact()));
newUsager.setUserName(selectedContact().email());
setEditedItem(newUsager);
AjaxModalDialog.open(context(), "usagerEditor");
}
return null;
}
The ContactSelector component needs to be non synchronizing, either by
extending ERXNonSynchronizingComponent or by overriding the
synchronizesVariablesWithBindings method.
Here is the selectContact method in ContactSelector:
public WOActionResults selectContact() {
EOEditingContext ec = (EOEditingContext)
valueForBinding(EditingContextBindingName);
if (ec == null) {
setValueForBinding(item(), SelectedContactBindingName);
}
else {
setValueForBinding(item().localInstanceIn(ec),
SelectedContactBindingName);
}
return (WOActionResults) valueForBinding(SelectActionBindingName);
}
