Adding a Second Component
In this section, you’ll create a new component. Instead of Java, you’ll
implement its code using WebScript.
1. In Project Builder’s browser, click Web Components in the first column.
2. Choose File m New in Project.
Note that the Web Components suitcase is selected.
3. Type GuestList as the name of the new component. Then click OK.
The WebObjects Component Wizard appears.
4. Choose None for Available Assistance and WebScript for Component
Language.
5. Click Finish.
6. In the second column of the browser, click GuestList.wo .
Note that there is an additional file you didn’t have with your Java
component.
GuestList.wos is your script file, the WebScript equivalent of
Main.java in the Main component. For WebScript components, the script
files are stored under the component, rather than in the Classes
bucket. You’ll add code to your script file in a later step.
7. Double-click GuestList.wo to bring up the component window in
WebObjects Builder.
8. Create a heading for this page, as you did for the Main component. Call
it “Guest List” (or something else of your choosing). Then press Enter
twice.
9. Add a WOString below the heading. Then type the text “ guests
have signed this guestbook .”
You’re going to bind this WOString so that it reflects the number of
guests who have submitted this form.
