How do I dynamically recreate parts of the context structure?

[Former Member]

have an application in which I need to dynamically rebuild part of the context.

On first entering the application I build the necessary parts by calls to IWDNodeInfo.addChild(), but when I want to rebuild that part of the context there seems that there is no way for me to remove the previous nodes! The only way I have found to do this is to call IWDContext.reset() function which destroys all the non-declarative context data.

Does anyone have another idea for how to achieve this?

Walter,

There is no other way except IWDContext.reset();

As a hint -- try to split dynamic structures between different controllers (context exists per controller). Then you will be able to reset specific parts.

Thank you! Splitting the structures between different custom controllers is an excellent idea.

Hi,

If your requirement is to modify/add the attributes inside the node during the rebuild then you can try the following

wdContext.getChildNode().getNodeInfo().addAttribute()
