Hi!

I have been porting a web app to T5 for some weeks now and have some
questions on how you folks do!

I started fresh with using ... onActivate() as method for preparing data for
the template code.

Some times onActivate(ctx) + ctx onPassivate().

Actions where handled in onActionFromFoo() or onActionFromBar() methods.

Form processing in onSuccess()

Fine so far ....

Then I read
http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au:8080/jumpstart/examples/navigation/onactivateandonpassivate/3
that disencourage using onActivate() as the setup methtod.

I also just realised that onActivate() is called prior to onSuccess() ...
which makes some of code run twice ....

I then thought that ...

public void setupRender()

... would be a better place to do my page preparements but then I am not
able to navigate to another page.


Is onActivate() really such as a bad place do the the preparements? If not
how do I distinguish between the case
where a form is submitted or a normal page rendering.

Thanks in advance,
Gunnar Eketrapp
