onActivate
Hi guys.
I have a question about onActivate(Object[]) and onActivate(String[])...
The simplest way to explain it is what I want to do on my login page.
At the moment when you bounce through it it stores the page name in the
activation context, but because of the variable number of context args, they
are not stored.
It would be nice if bookmarked 'login required' pages still worked with
their activation contexts.
does onActivate(Object[] context) come as an (uncast) String array?
if so, why is there no default translator to String[]
and if not, how do I make it so that String[] _is_ a valid arg?
thanks

Its pretty basic... and I havent put in String[] performPassivate method
yet.
just a word of warning... it _is_ useful for some pages, and not for
others... too many if (context.length > 0) var0 = context[0];
Better would be having a conversion to String[] then I could move it out of
the back class and use 'normal' onActivate methods... Please, *anyone*, how
would I do this?
in the mean time, here is the bulk of it (enough to work)
//in base page class...
private String context[];
public abstract void performActivation(String[] context);
Object onActivate(EventContext eventContext) {
context = new String[eventContext.getCount()];
for (int i = 0; i < context.length; i++) {
context[i] = eventContext.get(String.class, i);
}
Object page = componentResources.getPage();
//handle admin pages - TODO
//handle login required pages
if (page instanceof AuthenticatedPage
&& !(page instanceof Login || isLoggedIn())) {
loginPage.setNextPage(page.getClass(), context);
return loginPage;
}
performActivation(context);
return null; //return page?
}

Nicholas,
Would you mind sharing code snippets of what you are doing?

Thanks, works just fine... so now everything is bundled into a String[]
anyway...
?wouldn't it be useful to have String[] as one of the default conversions
available?
I don't expect it would be hard ... and it was (for me, anyway) expected
behavior. after all, with the splitting on /, is IS an array of strings.
_either way_ , the solution given works just fine, thanks.

A third, and perhaps better alternative is to use EventContext instead
of Object[]. This interface allows you to get the count of the
parameters, and retrieve each in whatever type you like (Tapestry will
value decode or type coerce as necessary).
