I have a view using a composer which has inside 5 columnChildren each one are the parentComponent of a macroComponent which also uses a composer.
MyView.zul which has 5 columnChildrens
<window id="win" apply='com.MyComposerController'>
+<portallayout maximizedMode="whole">
+ <portalchildren style="padding:5px" width="50%">
+ <panel sclass="innerPanel" title="${c:l('zul.m.zeus.ac.001')}" border="normal">
+ <panelchildren>
+ <columnlayout>
+ <columnchildren id='columnChildrenForInfo'/><!-PARENT FOR THE MACROURI TEMPLATE->
+ </columnlayout>
+ </panelchildren>
+ </panel>
+ <panel sclass="innerPanel" title="${c:l('zul.m.zeus.ac.005')}" border="normal">
+ <panelchildren>
+ <columnlayout>
+ <columnchildren id='columnChildrenForPetition'/><!-PARENT FOR THE MACROURI TEMPLATE->
+ </columnlayout>
+ </panelchildren>
+ </panel>
+ <panel sclass="innerPanel" title="${c:l('zul.m.zeus.ac.009')}" border="normal">
+ <panelchildren>
+ <columnlayout>
+ <columnchildren id='columnChildrenForErrors'/><!-PARENT FOR THE MACROURI TEMPLATE->
+ </columnlayout>
+ </panelchildren>
+ </panel>
+ </portalchildren>
+ <portalchildren style="padding:5px" width="50%">
+ <panel sclass="innerPanel" title="${c:l('zul.m.zeus.ac.013')}" border="normal">
+ <panelchildren>
+ <columnlayout>
+ <columnchildren id='columnChildrenForEsperaNoAtendidos'/><!-PARENT FOR THE MACROURI TEMPLATE->
+ </columnlayout>
+ </panelchildren>
+ </panel>
+ <panel sclass="innerPanel" title="${c:l('zul.m.zeus.ac.018')}" border="normal">
+ <panelchildren>
+ <columnlayout>
+ <columnchildren id='columnChildrenForDocs'/><!-PARENT FOR THE MACROURI TEMPLATE->
+ </columnlayout>
+ </panelchildren>
+ </panel>
+ </portalchildren>
+</portallayout>
+</window>
Latter i create in each columnChildren the following macroUri template +MyViewDetail.zul
<zk>
+ <panel>
+ <panelchildren>
+<listbox id="results" style="margin-right:5px;margin-top:5px;margin-left:5px">
+
+<listhead>
+ <listheader/>
+ <listheader/>
+ <listheader/>
+</listhead>
+<template name="model">
+<listitem onClick='$composer.listitemOnClick(event);'>
+ <listcell/>
+ <listcell/>
+ <listcell/>
+ </listitem>
+</template>
+</listbox>
+</panelchildren>
+</panel>
+</zk>
+this macroComponent is mapped in lang-addon.xml like this
<component>
+ <component-name>composerDetailController</component-name>
+ <component-class>DetailController</component-class>
+ <macro-uri>myViewDetail.zul</macro-uri>
+</component>
+Also the detail composer is a string bean which i retrieve like this
<bean id="composerDetailControllerBean" class="...." autowire="byName" scope="prototype"/>
+I bind it like this.
final DetailController composerDetailControllerBean = (DetailController)SpringUtil.getBean("composerDetailControllerBean");//EXTRACT IT FROM SPRING CONTAINER
+ composerDetailControllerBean.setParent(columnChildren);//EACH DETAIL CONTROLLER HAS A COLUMN CHILDREN AS A PARENT
+ detail.afterCompose();
+ detail.inicializa();//SOME BUSINESS LOGIC
+Everything is working like a charm but i had a problem as you can see in the template there is a listitem which doesn't have a id because if i put a id a NONUNIQUEIDINSPACE exception is thrown but i need to listen the onClick method on it i have try the following
onClick='$composer.listitemOnClick(event);'
+But the composer variables points it to the first composer i mean the MyView.zul composer and i have the method and the Business logic in the template composer DetailController but as i dont do this
<div id="compA" apply="some.package.ComposerA">
+ <div id="compB" apply="some.package.ComposerB"/> i dont use apply in the detailComposer i bind it through lang-addon.xml file
+</div>
+
+<div apply="some.package.ComposerA">
+ <custom-attributes composerName="myCompA"/>i dont use apply in the detailComposer i bind it through lang-addon.xml file i cannot use customAttributes
+</div>
+I mean i dont set a explicit name to the detail composer and i dont know how to referred it to it in the zul code
i cannot map the composer name to a variable the only thing i did was this try to set a composerName using custom-attributes trying to accomplish the custom-name by custom-attributes aforementioned
lang-addon.xml file
<component>
+ <component-name>composerDetailController</component-name>
+ <component-class>DetailController</component-class>
+ <macro-uri>myViewDetail.zul</macro-uri>
+ <custom-attribute>
+ <attribute-name>composerName</attribute-name>
+ <attribute-value>composerDetail</attribute-value>
+ </custom-attribute>
+</component>
+
+'$composerDetail.listitemOnClick(event);'
+Trying to map the custom attribute-name in the lang-addOn and use it in the zul but without success.
$composerDetail.listitemOnClick(event);'' : Attempt to resolve method: listitemOnClick() on undefined variable or class name: $composerDetail : at Line: 14 : in file: inline evaluation of:
I also try this in the MyViewDetail.zul
<zk>
+ <custom-attributes composerName="composerDetail"/>
+</zk>
+But not works neither.
In resume i dont know to set a name to the detailComposer and i cannot use it in the MyViewDetail.zul
I can't really follow your explanations... and maybe I don't have to. +I think you are trying to solve a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place.
<listbox id="results" style="margin-right:5px;margin-top:5px;margin-left:5px">
+ ...
+ <template name="model">
+ <!-- don't to this, this is zscript/beanshell -->
+ <!-- <listitem onClick='$composer.listitemOnClick(event);'> -->
+ <!-- use event forwarding -->
+ <listitem forward='onClick=results.onListitemClick'>
+ </template>
+</listbox>
+Then in your composer you can easily bind an event listener to the results listbox:
@Listen("onListitemClick=#results")
+public void listitemOnClick(ForwardEvent event) {
+ //get the original MouseEvent and click target
+ MouseEvent me = (MouseEvent) event.getOrigin();
+ Listitem listitem = me.getTarget();
+}
+I think that should avoid the complications you are encountering.
