passing placebar actions to applicationLayout via compositdata

I have a oneui custom control that I use on every page in my app. the control contains an applicationLayout control and i want to pass the placeBarActions into the control using compositData but5 I just can't seem to get it to work... I've tries several ways but just can't get it....

this was the one I was most hopeful would work but it actually cause an error in the control's generated java file

<xe:this.configuration>
            <xe:oneuiApplication legalLogoAlt="OAG"
                productLogo="/fake-logo.jpg"
                defaultNavigationPath="${javascript:compositeData.defaultNavigationPath}"
                productLogoHeight="40px" productLogoWidth="175px" placeBar="true"
                placeBarActions="${javascript:compositeData.actions}"
                footer="false" legal="true" legalLogo="/logo-Color.gif">

I was able to get it to kind of work using a repeat node in the placebarActions and looping the compositData.action but then I am limited to one type leafnode

I also tried...

<xp:this.afterPageLoad><![CDATA[#{javascript:oneui = getComponent("oneUILayout1");
uiconfig = oneui.getConfiguration();
uiconfig.setPlaceBarActions(compositeData.actions);}]]></xp:this.afterPageLoad>

but yeah that didn't work either

Does anyone have any ideas...

Re: passing placebar actions to applicationLayout via compositdata

GOT IT!!!

I had to open the source for the com.ibm.xsp.extlib.component.layout.impl.BasicApplicationConfigurationImpl.java to find the answer...

I was calling the wrong method...

    <xp:this.afterPageLoad><![CDATA[#{javascript:if(compositeData.actions){
   var oneui = getComponent("oneUILayout1");
   var uiConfig = oneui.getConfiguration();
   uiConfig.addPlaceBarAction(compositeData.actions);
}}]]></xp:this.afterPageLoad>

the compositeData.actions is of type com.ibm.xsp.extlib.tree.complex.ComplexContainerTreeNode and when it is used in an xpage you just have to addyour child nodes and set the container to transparent...

Now I just have to get the onItemClick events to bubble up from the custom control so they can be handled at the page level...
