Of course, if someone has a need for something generic (like the meta
refresh), someone else on the WebObjects development team will have already
created a component to do that very thing. As is the case here...
(From What's New in WebObjects 4)
WOMetaRefresh Component
The WOMetaRefresh component inserts a meta-refresh tag into your page. You can
set the number of seconds before the page is refreshed and either a page to
transition to or an action to perform after the delay.
WOMetaRefresh
Attribute Description
--------- -----------
seconds Number of seconds before the page is
refreshed.
pageName Component to navigate to after the
page is refreshed.
action Action method to invoke after the page is refreshed.
WOMetaRefresh is a non-synchronizing component, please read the additional
information provided on non-synchronizing components...
This brings me to my WebObjects lesson of the day: If you are coding something
and think to yourself "this is totaly obvious, I wish there were some API for
this..." There is.
