MyTablePage has a menu:

    @Order(20.0)
    public class NewMenu extends AbstractNewMenu {
      @Override
      MyTablePage getTablePage() {
        return MyTablePage.this;
      }
      @Override
      String getProduktCode() {
        return "A7000";
      }
      @Override
      protected String getConfiguredText() {
        return TEXTS.get("NewItemCodeA7000");
      }
    }


The AbstractNewClass I have contains:

  @Override
  protected void execAction() throws ProcessingException {
    MyForm form = new MyForm();
    // some setup elided
    form.startNew();
    form.waitFor();
    if (form.isFormStored()) {
      getTablePage().reloadPage();
    }
  }

  MyTablePage getTablePage() {
    return null;
  }


The problem is that for this single call of reloadPage, I need to add the method getTablePage to every instance of my new menu.

At first, I thought I could simply call MyTablePage.this.reloadPage() or MyTablePage.Table.this.reloadPage() or MyTablePage.(Table.this).reloadPage() ... but it was not to be.

Help my Java-fu: how can I save four lines of code for every instance of my new menu?

I do not see how you can do it in an other way... Because your template (AbstractNewMenu) is not aware that it will be included in a TablePage... I could be used everywhere.

In my templates, when I need something like that, I named the accessing method (getTablePage in your case) provideXxxxx() and I declare it abstract. This way I am sure that the developer using my template will pass the required Xxxxx instance.

Thank you for spotting that I had forgotten to make getTablePage in my template abstract.

I guess I was just disappointed to learn that getParent() returns IMenu and no getParentPage() exists... Smile
