I'm using a template.zul that is backed by a NavigationComposer. On my index.zul page I want to load the first page - that is I need to look up the last used page from a cookie - the issue is I was hoping I could do this in my NavigationComposer.. but in doAfterCompose the include page id isn't bound yet, so I'm not sure how I can set the source? Maybe there is some other approach to take?

for some reference:

index.zul

<?init class="org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.Composition" arg0="layout/template.zul"?>
<zk>
<include id="mainInclude" self="@define(content)" src=" "/>
</zk>

relevant template.zul ...

<vlayout apply="com.ncs.ncsadmin.web.controller.NavController">

     <vlayout id="contentSection" self="@insert(content)"></vlayout>

NavController.. was hoping to do...

@Wire
private Include mainInclude;

@Override
public void doAfterCompose(Component comp) throws Exception {
    super.doAfterCompose(comp); 
    //logic to get the page from cookie
    mainInclude.setSrc(page);

}

Problem is maininclude is "null" in doAfterCompose since the include hasn't been rendered yet (even using mode="instant"

So what's the best way to solve this situation? Do I have wrap my include in a ViewModel/Composer and load the default page from there?
