EventListener , target being a programatically created widget (dojo)
I might be asking too much :
Is it possible to use the @EventListener with the target being a
programatically created widget ?
The widget is the dojo tree widget.
I built a tapestry component out of it , which creates the tree in a
programatic way.
At the creation of the tree i provide a widgetId.
I want in my page to have something like this :
@EventListener(targets="theProvidedWidgetId" ,events="afterAddChild")
public void doSomething() {
}
The event afterAddCHild is an existent event in the widget tree.
I have already tried it.
What i'm not sure is if it should normally work or not since the widgetId
doesn't exist in the html template.
Thanks !

It worked.
I just needed to make sure that the id of the widget is the same as the id
of the component. This is what i was missing in the begining.
(And i passed the id as a target.)

Have you even tried it?
This is definitely thought out and well supported so I don't see why
it wouldn't work. Dojo has an internal client side "manager" that
knows about widgetId's so it lets me do things like
dojo.widget.byId("yourComponent.clientId") to get a reference to your
widget without any help from you.
The Tapestry Timetracker demo is a perfect example of this. It targets
a function of the Autocomplete component which wraps a dojo Select
widget.
This should be working perfectly. If it does not please let me know.

The tapestry component extends AbstractWidget but i don't think this has
any influence on targeting the widget..

Re: EventListener , target being a programatically created widget (dojo)

I'm a bit confused..
What i want to target is not a tapestry component but the dojo widget
created by the component.
As a matter of fact , in the generated html, the tapestry component id is
not even present anymore.
Instead i have the javascript which created the tree with the parameters
provided by the tapestry component. And one of the parameter is the widgetId
which i want to target.
The events i would like to listen to are , in fact , the events of the dojo
tree and not of the component i built.
So, very simplified , my component does :
var tree = dojo.widget.createWidget("TreeV3",{widgetId:
"myProvidedWidgetId"});
I got the feeling my component is wrong :)

Yes that will work, but only if the component being targeted
implements IWidget. (or extends AbstractWidget)

In the mean time i found out that the afterAddChild is a topic .
So my problem is solved by subscribing to this topic with whatever function
i want.
I'm still interested in the answer though.
thanks for any feedback !
