Thanks, guys. LANCE: @Persist(PersistenceConstants.FLASH) makes nullifies Person in Persons page (listing page), thereby breaking it...
THIAGO: return person.getId() breaks the Edit Page completely with Render queue error in BeginRender... Here is probably the clincher that this is a bug or some type of unitended workflow problem Fully qualifying the Edit link, as below, works fine to get the Edit page to render as Create (edit/) ...without filling the last record as (edit/5) <t:pagelink page="person/EditPerson">Create NEW Person/Advanced Search</t:pagelink> BUT............. then clicking the create/update button after coming into edit (in create mode) nullifies person and breaks the persons listing page....hope that makes sense. I am agreeing with trsvax at the moment... Page re-use seems fraught with session/objects management issues. I am trying to re-use not just Create/Update but also Query by Example (QBE). I have a button called Search and a method called onSelectedFromSearch in EditPerson.java That, too, seems to mess up the session as well, nullifying the person before it can be employed in QBE Search. In any case, this is all looking like Struts, only a bit backwards...Create, Edit and QBE pages are all identical except for the ACTION of the submit button. In Struts, you just send the action to a different METHOD in the same CRUD class - if it needs something in the Valuestack it will get it - otherwise it just proceed merrily along. But due to apparent ambiguity of activate/passivate in Create/Edit, seems like we are best off maintaining three separate sets of files - tml and java - one each for Create, Update and QBE. Otherwise each of these operations end up driving in each other's lanes. And, IF SO, this seems like a fundamental architectural weakness, not just a bug(?). Using a component (or jsp) to render most of the form will probably save tripling the pain...but that would defeat the purpose of form re-use. I would be happy to be proved wrong - if there is a working app out there which does all three Create/Update and QBE... -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Pagelink-above-grid-picks-up-context-from-last-pagelink-in-grid-tp5660049p5663892.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
