Hi Mario, Only after some thinking I understood your approach - instead of building the options at the creation time you build them just before they are needed - i.e. at the process time. That's a clever work around the problems that I was writing in my previous email. The only question is if calling process is obligatory, for now I don't see why it should not. What I would change there is putting the Catalyst context on the stash - I would put there the DBIC schema instead - and have it independent from Catalyst.
Just one correction HTML::Widget::DBIC is in no way related to Catalyst Action Controllers - it is completely independent from Catalyst and it does use a config for it's options. -- Zbyszek On 9/13/07, Mario Minati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 12 September 2007 15:41:29 Zbigniew Lukasiak wrote: > > Hi there, > > > > Have you had a look at > > http://search.cpan.org/~zby/HTML-Widget-DBIC-0.03/lib/HTML/Widget/DBIC.pm > > ?
