Netui-data:callMethod in Workshop 9.2b

Question

Hi!
I try to convert my Workshop 8.1 application to Workshop 9.2b.
In my application there is an EJB-Project and a Web-Project.
In my JSPs, i used the following code, to call a Method of a SessionBean without implementing some Code in my PageFlow:
<!-- Control Declaration -->
<netui-data:declareControl type="EJBController.TextControl" controlId="textControl" />
<!-- Control Declaration -->
<netui-data:callControl controlId="textControl" method="getText" resultId="$$lngbez$InfotextDp$$" >
<netui-data:methodParameter value='$$lngbez$InfotextDp$$'/>
<netui-data:methodParameter value="{pageFlow.h}"/>
</netui-data:callControl>
In 9.2b, I think I should use the netui-data:callMethod.
But all the samples I found about netui-data:callMethod are using object="${pageFlow}".
How can I call Methods of other Java-Classes like a SessionBean-Control as shown in the code above?
What's the right way to provide the object-parameter?
Thanks,
Josef

Josef,
In 8.1 you were declaring the attribute textControl in the JSP using the
declareControl tag.
Because of the changes to the Controls container, the declareControl tag is
no longer available in 9.2
There is a 8.1 compatibility declareControl tag but we do not recommend
running your application in compitibility mode unless absolutely necessary.
The recommended approach to accessing controls directly from a JSP is as
follows:
<%
ControlBean bean = Controls.instantiate(ControlBean.class, null,
ControlThreadContext.getContext(), null);
pageContext.setAttribute("customControlBean", bean);
%>
<netui-data:callMethod object="${pageScope.customControlBean}"
method="getData" resultId="myData"></netui-data:callMethod>
<netui:content value="${myData}" />
Hope this helps!
