I'm totally new to Tapestry (2 days playing with it), but I'm stuck with
quite simple problem;( (At least I guess so).
What I want to to is to create 4 pages for Client entity:
- list (list all clients or ones from search result)
- edit
- add
- find
Didn't have any problems with first three, but having problems with last
one.
I've created SearchClient, AddClient, ListClients pages (java+tml).
What I want to do is to input search criteria on SearchClient and list the
results in ListClients and I don't really now how to pass data between
pages.
First of all AddClient and SearchClient have
@IncludePage
private ListClients listClients;
and AddClient has:
public Object onSuccess() {
clientService.addClient(client);
return listClients;
}
which works just fine.
In SearchClient I firstly tried to retrieve data onSuccess and pass the
collection to onActivate method of ListClients but passing it didn't work;(
Can't get the idea of what happens there, but what I wanted to do show
collection passed from SearchClient if it existed and list all if it didnt.
And always came up with list of all clients.
Later I tried putting in SearchClient:
Object onSuccess() {
listClients.setClient(client);
return listClients;
}
Still - this client was always null in the following:
public void onActivate(){
if(client==null){
clients = clientService.getClients();
}else{
clients = clientService.getClientByCriteria(client);
}
}
After doing some search I tried doing @Persist on client property in, but it
turned out to ALWAYS be set which wasn't also good as couldn't list all
clients - always one from criteria.
So I tried @Persist("flash") - and the behavior of this one I can't even
describe;)
I really tried to google the solution for search screen + results screen but
with no luck.
Is this onActivate() approach good at all or should I use some other way of
passing data between pages?
As I said - what I want to accomplish is to list clients from search screen
and if this criteria was not created at all (list all clients from dirrenent
link) I want to list them all.
Will be very grateful for any help.
bwt. I made sure to look over all info on tapestry main page;( + other
googled examples/tutorials
Thanks,
Adam
