This might sound like a silly question, I know that they are filled at different period during the rendering phase. But in the end they define a value which never change.

Which one to use and when, and what is the difference between these 2 expressions ?

Hi William,

The main difference would be that @init() requires a Binder or BindComposer.

While they are both cheap, ${} is a tiny bit cheaper since there is no memory overhead. Unless you have extremely large amounts of Expressions in a context, the difference should not be noticeable.

As you mentioned, @init() happen during bind, which is after zul parsing. ${} are evaluated during parsing. Due to this, you can reference a component further down a zul page in @init, but not in ${}.

Otherwise, they provide the same function: one-time evaluation of an expression during page initialization, without maintaining a tracking entry afterward.

PS: that's a good addition to the do's and don't, so I will also reply there ;-) Regards, Matt

Edit: corrected the obvious classname error BinderComposer > BindComposer
