Driving dialogs from within JAVA bean

Category: APIs
Platform: All
Release: 8.5.2
Role: Developer

I would like to develop my own workflow-type application framework. I'm currently trying to drive UI dialogues from within the JAVA bean. So far I've been only able to inject a single UIComponents to a document tree at a time but it would be quite tedious job to create the complete dialog. Thus I'm thinking about injecting the whole custom control instead, to make the development more efficient but I failed (neither documentation nor examples are available).
Based on the information published on Nathan Freeman's blog >> http://ntf.gbs.com/nathan/escape.nsf/d6plinks/NTFN-82A6TA (item# 2) it seems that it should be somehow possible but I failed to make it work.

Any idea how to achieve that?

Re: Driving dialogs from within JAVA bean

I'm not sure if you can inject components from a Java Bean, but I do know you can inject components from SSJS. As for handling dialogs, you may want to make your dialogs dijit/component driven. With a custom dijit this will allow you quite a bit of flexibility in handling the presentation of the dialog and by making a component with it's own renderer you can control the content of the dialog.

For injecting components via SSJS see my post here http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/xpagesforum.nsf/topicThread.xsp?documentId=B1192058B062B07A8525783C006270C2&action=openDocument

Re: Driving dialogs from within JAVA bean

Both SSJS and java Beans access the same API, there is no difference
