NetUI Controller methods onCreate() and onDestroy() are "Callback"s?

Hi all:

Looking at the Controller file in samples\netui-blank\web\, the two methods
onCreate() and onDestroy() are labeled as "Callback"s?

Is this correct?  If it is, what does that mean in the context of NetUI?

Thanks,
Steveh.

Thanks for the clarification.

I propose we change the comments on these methods to something like:

"Method that is invoked when this controller instance is created."

"Method that is invoked when this controller instance is destroyed."

Steve--

  Good point -- theyr'e not really "callbacks" in the true sense of
the word as this doesn't happen because of an event.  So, the phrasing
could be a little more clear.

  These methods are Page Flow lifecycle methods that can be handled by
a Page Flow implementation that subclasses PageFlowController and
overrides the method from the base class.  More information can be
found here:

    http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.1/netui/lifecycleAndState.html

  Hope that helps.
