Hi Chris
The first error is due to the ognl expression This is how you
reference a class from ognl:
"ognl:@gov.nasa.jpl.edrn.Participant@class"
http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/staticMethods.htmlYou are right, the EditLink expects an hibernate entity so that code
won't work. You can try something like this
<a href="#" jwcid="@trails:EditLink"
model="ognl:page.persistenceService.getInstance(@gov.nasa.jpl.edrn.Participant@class,
1)" >
Edit Participant NÂș 1
</a>
That should work, but I have never tried it.
I think that the NewLink component is what you are looking for.
Try with this:
<a class="newlink" href="#" jwcid="@trails:NewLink"
type="ognl:@gov.nasa.jpl.edrn.Participant@class">Add a New
Participant</a>
I know Trails lacks good documentation :( ,and I'm responsible for
that, so this mailing list is the best way to get some help.
Hope this helps.
Let me know how it goes.
Saludos.
Alejandro.
