inheritTemplateFrom

public static com.webobjects.appserver.WOElement inheritTemplateFrom(String componentName,

Allows a component to "inherit" the template (.html and .wod files) from another component.

Usage in your WOComponent subclass:

 @Override
 public WOElement template() {
     return ERXComponentUtilities.inheritTemplateFrom("AddAddress", session().languages());
 }
 

This very simple implementation does have some limitations:

1. It can't be used to inherit the template of another component inheriting a template.
2. It can't handle having two components with the same name in different packages or frameworks
3. It does not use WO template caching

Parameters:

componentName - the name of the component whose template will be inherited

languages - the list of languages to use for finding components

Returns:

the template from the indicated component

WOComponent.template()

componentTree

public static NSArray<String> componentTree()

Returns an array of the current component names.

Returns:

array of current component names
