Hi,
I use a rich:datatable which uses a custom DataModel object.
The DataModel class needs a SearcherObject (this object executes the search).
The searcher-object on the other side nees a CriteriaObject (a stateful object that holds the search-paramter values which the user entered) for executing the search.
Here's a simple sketch of the two classes:
class DataModel
@In
SearcherObject mySearcherObject
class SearcherObject
@In
CriteraObject myCriteriaObject
Everything worked fine.
But now I have the situation that on another page I would like to use the same classes/components but the searcher-object should use another criteria-object (for example with a shorter lifecycle, registered with the @Role-annotation with another scope). I didn't find a way for doing this. I copied the classes:
PageA:
class DataModelA
@In
SearcherObjectA mySearcherObjectA
class SearcherObjectA
@In
CriteraObjectA myCriteriaObjectA
Page B:
class DataModelB
@In
SearcherObjectB mySearcherObjectB
class SearcherObjectB
@In
CriteraObjectB myCriteriaObjectB
That approach is doubling the classes (sure, I can move the common-behaviour in super-classes, so the actual classes are very short) and not very elegant.
Isn't there a way to inject dynamically other components (depending on the page, the name of the component, the context, ...)? I know that in the @In-annotation I can use value-expressions, but I can't think of a way to use this feature (somehow I would have to set a context-variable before navigating to the page, for example in a page.xml file, but this approach doesn't seam very appealing to me).
If someone has some hints or ideas, please le me know,
thx,
Matthias
