Users - Does FTL pick data from context?

[Sangs]

All,

I have a problem in making ftl display data held in the context.
What I am trying is:
1)context.put("customer",customer); in a bsh file
2)in my screens.xml,
<screen name="thankyou">
    <section>
     <actions>
           <script location="component://hotelCalifornia/webapp/hotelCalifornia/WEB-INF/actions/customer.bsh"/>
    </actions>
3) from my ftl file,
Thankyou for booking a room with us ${customer.customerName}


I tried printing out the context and it does contain the variable customername.
However, the error I get is customer not defined.

I have also tried putting my entity Booking in the context and then trying to aceess it through Booking.cusomerName but the same error.

Is there something I am missing?

*************************************************************************************************************

Another problem I am facing is this:
In a request say abc,I m invoking a service which persists an entity say X.
In the event of success,I am presenting a view which fetches this entity by primary key and displays it.
However, the entity is not being fetched and when I print it out,the result is null.
So my question is:at what step is the data persisted and available to be fetched?

I hope I have made my questions clear.Thanks everyone in advance !

What kind of typ is customer?
Is it a GenericValue or HashMap?

Maybe you missed something and customer is just a String. In this case you
have to write:
Thankyou for booking a room with us ${customer}

Did you get an exception?


Second question:
the service you call must return the primarykey to the request, then you
can catch this key in you presentation...


Kind regards

Hi,

You are missing one simple thing in first case :
When you create the context in the bsh file then in case of entity it is a list(In your case customer is the list).
And if you want to fetch the customerName from this list then you should follow these steps :
 1) You should iterate this customer list context value through list tag in ftl file :(see below for clarification )
<#list customer as cust>
</#list>

2) And in the above list iterate tag "cust" is the Generic Value (or we can say this shows each row from the entity).Now you can display your customerName from this Generic Value.(See Below for clarification)
<#list customer as cust>
${cust.CustomerName}
</#list>

In your case if you want to display your context value(customer list) on the screen where your form values are displaying then just right this ${customer} in the ftl file.

I hope this would be helpful to you.
Can you explain the second issue in more detail ??(With sample code like the first one)

Thanks & Regards
Ashish Vijaywargiya
