Unable to process form submission

I have a page that contains a component that contains a form component.  
The page places a user object on the environment in its SetupRender 
phase that is used by the page's components. The User object is obtained 
using the userId that is passed in the page context.  When I submit the 
form I get the error 
org.apache.tapestry.runtime.ComponentEventException.  No object of type 
IUser is available from the environment.  Available types are....  How 
do get around this error?  Do I need to place the userId back on the 
page context?  Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

I am using Tapestry 5.0.11

TIA,

Kevin

Why don't you store the user ID as an application state object (aso)?

RE: Unable to process form submission

No, I understood what you are saying, when you put something on the
environment in the page and then try to access it in a component, you
are using the environment (via the Environmental annotation).  What you
are missing is that the forms event phases do not have access to the
environment that is setup during the render phases of the page, only the
environment that is setup during the onActivate of a page.  

So back to my previous recommendation, using the form context would look
something like this:

MyPage.java

public class MyPage {
	@Inject private Environment environment;
	@Inject private UserLookup userLookup;	

	Private User user;
	
	@OnEvent("activate")
	onActivate(int userId) {
		user = userLookup(userId);
	}
	
	@SetupRender
	void setupRender() {		
		environment.push(User.class, user);
	}

	@CleanupRender
	void cleanupRender() {
		environment.pop(User.class);
	}
}

MyComponent.java

Public class MyComponent {
	@Inject private UserLookup userLookup;	
	@Environmental User user;

	public final String getUserName() {
		return user.getName();
	}

	public final List<Object> getFormContext() {
		List<Object> context = new ArrayList<Object>();
		context.add(user.getId());
		return context;
	}

	@OnEvent(value = "success", component = "myForm")
	Void onSuccessFromMyForm(int userId) {
		User localUser = userLookup(userId);
		doSomeActionOnUser(localUser);
	}
}

MyComponent.tml:

<div xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd">
<span>Current User: ${username}</span>
<t:form t:id="myForm" context="formContext">
...
</t:form>
</div>

Adam,

Thanks for responding (again :-) ) . However, as you can see in my 
question, I'm not trying to use the environment during an event phase - 
sorry if I misspoke before. The user object is placed on the environment

in the SetupRender phase. The problem is that after I submit the form I 
get the 'user not available on the environment' error. I have attempted 
to add the userId onto the context of the form as you suggest, but I 
still get the error. Since I have never dealt with form submissions in 
tapestry before, I was hoping for an example of how to utilize the 
context to avoid the error and process the form as expected.

thanks,

Kevin

Adam,

Thanks for responding (again :-) ) . However, as you can see in my 
question, I'm not trying to use the environment during an event phase - 
sorry if I misspoke before. The user object is placed on the environment 
in the SetupRender phase. The problem is that after I submit the form I 
get the 'user not available on the environment' error. I have attempted 
to add the userId onto the context of the form as you suggest, but I 
still get the error. Since I have never dealt with form submissions in 
tapestry before, I was hoping for an example of how to utilize the 
context to avoid the error and process the form as expected.

thanks,

Kevin

RE: Unable to process form submission

The best way to achieve this is to put the userId on the context of the
form using the "context" parameter.  You will then have access to the
userId in the OnEvent of the form to do a lookup of the User.

If you insist on using the environment during the form submission event
phase to get the User, which I recommend against, then you could push
the User onto the environment during the onActivate of the page.  The
onActivate of a page is run during the event phase of a form action as
well as the normal rendering of a page, however the environment is
cleared after the onActivate, so you would need to setup the environment
in both the onActivate and setupRender if you took this approach.

Philosophically I am against setting up the environment in onActivate of
a page since the onActivate would need to know about all possible
enviornmentals needed by any of the forms or actions it may contain that
require context.  By putting the context into the form action (or in the
context of an action link) the component that contains the form or
action is then responsible for providing the context of the event.

Thanks,
Adam
