Component access another component

[gersonk]

Is there a way to access a variable context defined in a component A's fields/methods from the component B's method?

It might look like this:

@Name("componentA")
public class ComponentA{

 @Out
 private String fieldX;

}

@Name("ComponentB")
public class ComponentB{

 public void method(){

 // set a new value to #{componentA.fieldX}

 }
}

No. You'd need to declare a getter.

No. You'd need to declare a getter.

Even the componentA declares a getter for its field, how can I access it from componentB's method?

@Name("componentA")
public class ComponentA{

 private String fieldX;

 public void setFieldX(String x) {
 this.fieldX = x;
 }
}

@Name("ComponentB")
public class ComponentB{

 private ComponentA a;

 @In
 public void setComponentA(ComponentA a) {
 this.a = a;
 }

 public void method(){
 a.setFieldX(12);
 }
}
