@DataModel on getter?

japplicoon Jun 22, 2006 10:17 AM

Is it possible to tag a getter method of a list with

@DataModel("xyzlist")
getXyzList() { ... }

? I would like to have a base class with basic methods on the list (like sorting), but the subclasses should outject their list instances into multiple different context variables. Since the @Factory method is not called, I wonder whether I may have a

getXyzList() { .... }

anyway? And one annotated as DataModel?

Thank you!

Thank you, Gavin!
Will the @Factory method be called if getList() returns null?
I'm unsure whether to just write

@DataModel("threadlist") public List getList() { return list; }

or instead do something to return a filled List, such as

@DataModel("threadlist") public List getList() { return board.getThreads(); }

It seems to me that only the second way works, but then the DataModelSelection is broken?
