init
Syntax:
<?init class=”…” ['’arg0’’=”…”] ['’arg1’’=”…”] ['’arg2’’=”…”] ['’arg3’’=”…”]?> <?init zscript=”…”?>
It defines an initiator that will be instantiated and called when the ZUML document is loaded.
There are two formats. The first format is to specify a class that is
used to do the application-specific initialization. The second format is
to specify a zscript
file to do the application-specific
initialization.
The initialization takes place before the page is evaluated and attached
to a desktop. Thus, the getDesktop
, getId
and getTitle
method will
return null when initializing. To retrieve the current desktop, you
could use
You could specify any number of the init
directive. The specified
class must implement the
interface.
<?init class="MyInit1"?>
<?init class="MyInit2"?>
Since 3.6.2, you can use any (readable) name instead of arg0
and so
on. For example,
<?init class="org.zkoss.zkplus.databind.AnnotateDataBinderInit" root="./abc"?>
Then,
will be called with a map, which contains an entry, whose name is root
and value ./abc
.
If you’d like to apply an initiator for every page, you don’t need to specify it on every page. Rather, you could install a system-level initiator. For more information, please refer to ZK Developer’s Reference: System-level Initiators.
class
[Optional]
A class name must implement the
interface. Unlike the init
directive, the class name cannot be the
class that is defined in zscript codes.
An instance of the specified class is constructed and its doInit
method is called in the Page Initial phase (i.e., before the page is
evaluated). The doFinally
method is called after the page has been
evaluated. The doCatch
method is called if an exception occurs during
the evaluation.
Thus, you could also use it for cleanup and error handling.
zscript
[Optional]
A script
file that will be evaluated in the Page Initial phase.
arg0, arg1…
[Optional]
You could specify any number of arguments. It will be passed to the
doInit
method if the first format is used. Since 3.6.2, you can use
any name for the arguments, but, in the prior version, the first
argument must be named as arg0
, the second is arg1
and so on.
