Hi,

I am on ZK 8/8.5 and following https://www.zkoss.org/wiki/SmallTalks/2012/August/MVVMIn_Java for my project.

In the above example an invisible modal Window is build to show the confirmation dialog for deletion.

Here the relevant code snippets:

    public void service(Page page) {

         //1.Create root component which is to be associated with binder
        Window window = new Window("Order Management", "normal", false);
        window.setWidth("600px");
        window.setPage(page);

        //2. Instantiate a binder instance. Use DefaultBinder
        binder = new DefaultBinder(); 
        //3. Initialize it with View model and root component
        binder.init(window, new OrderVM3());  
        //4. Set binder as an attribute on the root component
        window.setAttribute("vm", binder.getViewModel());

            [...]

        buildConfirmDialog(binder, window);

        // Must load value to components once, call it after all "add property binding" statements
        binder.loadComponent(window,true); 
    }

If I modify the code to:

public void service(Page page) {

    new OrderWindow().setPage(page);
}

where OrderWindow extends Window:

public OrderWindow() {

    //1.Create root component which is to be associated with binder
    super("Order Management", "normal", false);
    setWidth("600px");

    //2. Instantiate a binder instance. Use DefaultBinder
    binder = new DefaultBinder(); 

    //3. Initialize it with View model and root component
    binder.init(this, new OrderVM3(), null);  

    //4. Set binder as an attribute on the root component
    setAttribute("vm", binder.getViewModel());

            [...]

    buildConfirmDialog(binder, this);

    // Must load value to components once, call it after all "add property binding" statements
    binder.loadComponent(this,true);
}

I get:

Error 500 Cause: Not attached, <Window null>

I don't understand why the same code is not working when using the derived class. Do you? Thx

Hi,

without having executed your problems seems to be this:

Error 500 Cause: Not attached, <Window null>

--> which means that you are trying to do something to the component that requires it to be attached to the component tree (i.e. it has to happen after calling component.setPage(...)/setParent(...) or parent.appendChild(...) ...)

In your second case you are trying to initialize the binder inside the constructor. This will happen before setPage is called:

new OrderWindow().setPage(page);

to fix that you could split this into multiple calls (one constructor call and a separate method to initialize the binder/viewmodel and dependent components, that's roughly what ZK does internally too, first attach the component then init the binder/viewmodel, then create children, then load the bindings of the children)

OrderWindow orderWindow = new OrderWindow().setPage(page); //execute step 1.
orderWindow.myInitAfterAttach(); //execute steps 3-4

or pass the page into the constructor so you can attach the component before calling binder.init etc.

new OrderWindow(page);

I hope this makes sense... If not let me know

Thx a lot! That was exactly my problem. You made my day.
