I tried a quick test and get a very weird result: the onCreate for the Label component got called twice!! Could you run the test code below and check your Tomcat log output to see if you see the same symptom? I just put this question in a new forum's Thread since it's a new topic (the original question was related to a setFocus issue on a different forum's Thread). Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks..

Hi
the reason is, use forward will post onCreate, refer to http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/ZK_Developer%27s_Reference/Event_Handling/Event_Forwarding
in your java code, you register label's onCreate event, in zul, you forward to onCreate$currDateLabel method
that's why, it called twice, to avoid this, in java file, don't register onCreate event, so, change from onCreate$currDateLabel to onCreateDateLabel
public void onCreateDateLabel(CreateEvent event) throws Exception {
System.out.println("this is Label onCreate" + event.getTarget());
}//end method
in zul code,
<label id='currDateLabel' forward='onCreate=testWin$comnposer.onCreateDateLabel'/>
Hi Samchuang, thanks for the link. From the link, it says we can register event either thru java code OR thru zul's forward attribute. In this case, how come only the Zul's forward approach work, but not the java code approach? When I don't use forward attribute, and only use onCreate$currDateLabel(Event event) in java code, why this event never get triggered??
Hi
The reason is relative to Life cycle.
onCreate event is different from other event, it will fire when ZK create the component
Composer will register event after create component. By this time, event has fired already.
please refer to http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/ZK_Developer's_Guide/Fundamental_ZK/Basic_Concepts/Architecture_Overview#The_Life_cycle_of_Loading_Pages
doAfterComposer is done after component created
Hi Samchuang, thanks for the link. Is there a way to show these Life cycle sequence in the Java code (which is what I was trying to do at the beginning of this thread)? My good friend Stephan showed some utility classes to see the number of components created. It'd be nice to also see the "sequence" of operation. Back to the onCreate event, another weird thing happens when I change the onCreate$currDateLabel(event) to onCreate$testWin(event), this time the onCreate event for the tesWindow is invoked!! Could you describe the exact load sequence for my particular example which has 4 components: the testWin, a Label, a <br/>, and the currDateLabel ?
================= Checking Order of execution ==================
this is Constructor
This is doAfterCompose()
this is main Win onCreate
Hi @zknewbie1
I think your question is very good,
from the javadoc, setApply()
it mentioned, the component is not created yet when the apply attribute is evaluated, so it seems the creation is different from composer's children
you can also refer to Component life cycle, Architecture Overview
Hi
after tested it, the sequence is
1. ) doBeforeCompose
2. ) new Component, here create children component
3. ) doAfterCompose
4. ) applyForward
5. ) post onCreate event if listen to
