[forge-dev] Passing parameters from command to a meta widget

[ivan_stefanov]

Hey folks,

I am working on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1787. As you might

read in the comments, I found that in order to adapt the outcome of a link,

I need to pass somehow the webroot from the command to the

EntityWidgetBuilder.

Does anybody know the way I can pass this info?

Thanks,

Ivan

Hey Ivanov,

    Sorry about the late reply and thanks for taking this on. On reviewing the code, there are two ways to fix this:

    1. the Forge Configuration object for the project could be used to store the target directory provided by the user. This was the approach used in Forge 1, but was unfortunately missed out in Forge 2. The configuration being empty and unused is the root cause of this bug.

    2. the metawidget could be initialized in a programmatic manner like described in this section : http://metawidget.sourceforge.net/doc/reference/en/html/ch02s04.html#section-architecture-widgetbuilders-implementing-your-own

       Currently the XML route is used, and this prevents variable information like the target directory from being passed onto the widget, except through some shared store (like the Forge Configuration in the above point).

       I'd recommend this way going forward, but I'm ok if you stick to resolving the issue through (1) instead of (2).

Thanks,

Vineet

Hi Vineet,

Thanks for the answer. This time I am sorry that didn't find time to work

on this issue the last week. I wanted to complete it during the Forge Hack

Night, but I there was nobody from the Forge experts there.

Anyway, I will use this media to drive the open points cleared. I do want

to go with option two. I went through the docs and compared them to the

Forge implementation. I have to pass a Configuration object to

the EntityWidgetBuilderConfig constructor upon

creating EntityWidgetBuilder. Unfortunately I couldn't find a place where

these constructors are invoked. Can you please guide me one step further?

Thanks,

Ivan
