Multiple Pages in component

Kasbe_Prashant

Hello Experts,

I've a requirement in which I need to populate result of particular action on webtop in component.

The requirement is to have two pages ( i.e. success and failure ). The component is to promote multiple documents to next lifecycle level.

Success page will display all the message of successful promotion of the selected objects and similarly Failure page will display message of failure.

My implementation goes like below:

1. Created Component ( Promote ) and Container ( PromoteContainer )
2. Business logic is implemented in Promote component.
3. I plan to keep two pages ( Promotecase to display success messages and promotefailurecaseto display error messages )

          <pages>

            <start>/custom/library/caseprocessing/promotecase.jsp</start>

            <failure>/custom/library/caseprocessing/promotefailurecase.jsp</failure>

         </pages>

   4.   My problem is I'm not sure how to set the failure page.

          What I'm doing is on click on one of the button I've written the code

         

public void onOk(Control button, ArgumentList args)

          {

                    System.out.println("OK clicked");

                    PromoteCase comp = (PromoteCase)  this.getContainedComponent();

                    comp.setComponentPage("failure");

       }

But the failure page is not opened.

can any one let me know how can I get this, and also provide user an option to see start and failure pages on button clicks.

Regards

Prashant

Few questions for the purpose of clarity:

a) when is the promotion invoked?

b) do you have multiple components inside the container?

if you specificy the SUCCESS jsp in the <start> tag, that will be the first page that will open up during onRender, in that case, is the promotion happening onInit()?

Alternate solution: Why not display the results using the MessageService? Just write the action xml and let the action service's class perform the promotion. Write the results(what all succeeded and what all failed) to the MessageService?
