ZK MVC Using .GenericComposer utility class


This is the second post in a series of ZK MVC




This post is continuation of previous post

ZK Documentation is here
http://books.zkoss.org/wiki/Small_Talks/2008/August/ZK_MVC_Made_Easy

Now we will use Genericcomposer class to reduce some code from my previous post



Here is my zul file

<row>
<button id="Clear" label="Clear" forward="onClick=onClear_btn"/>
</row>

</rows>

Here is my Composer



package com.me;

import org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.Event;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.GenericComposer;
import org.zkoss.zul.Textbox;

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public class Example7 extends GenericComposer {

/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Textbox firstName;
private Textbox lastName;
private Textbox address;

public void doAfterCompose(Component comp) throws Exception {
/**
* Dont forget to call super doaftercomposer. By calling this, it will add the event listner for us
*/
super.doAfterCompose(comp);
// locate ZK components
firstName = (Textbox) comp.getFellow("firstName");
lastName = (Textbox) comp.getFellow("lastName");
address = (Textbox) comp.getFellow("address");

// all addEventListener and new EventListener() codes are removed
}

public void onClear_btn(Event event) {
firstName.setValue("");
lastName.setValue("");
address.setValue("");
}
}
