Like ERModInspectPage, for instance, if I want a sort of inspect page?
I was looking at the pages in BugTracker or ERMovieDemo, but that does not seem
to give me an idea how to create such a page.
I looked at an old component that I got out of the 'freezing' of components
that used to be available in 5.2/10.4 days, which starts with
public class EditDigestedPasswordUser extends WOComponent implements
EditPageInterface {
but I am not sure if that still should be used in such a way.
(I really miss the freezing of a template component that one could do in 5.2/OS
X 10.4 D2W: take a component, freeze it, use it as a template to make some a
custom component for that specific entity, and not having to fiddle with all
the knobs)
(On a related note, did anybody notice that Spotlight results are spottier and
spottier? I searched for extend in the Wonder source tree, nearly nothing came
up, while I know there is a ton of stuff over there that extends…)
