Now I understand! Yes, that is another workaround. I look forward to this working as documented in the next release. Thanks for the info!

This is what I am saying:

< apex:param name=”nickName” value=”{!contact.firstname}” />

And on the controller/extension, you do this:

ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get(‘nickName’);

Andres, I think you might be a little confused. The assignTo does not reference the value of nickName but a method in the controller. Per the docs: “assignTo: A setter method that assigns the value of this param to a variable in the associated Visualforce controller.”

Don’t use the assignTo=”{!nickName}”, but rather use: ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get(‘nickName’);

We purchased EasyPage to do this. It’s an AppExchange program that costs $250 a year for unlimited users and usage. Soooo glad we did.

I remember this from ages ago, but I think this is one of those areas that you ignore until you are forced to deal with it.. any idea what happens under the hood if you don’t implement it like this and some sort of threading-issue/race-conditions arise?

Comment on Adobe Air Applications with Salesforce.com by Jeff Douglas

Justin, thanks for the email! It was kind of a hack so that they could just see something. It’s actually a custom object that creates a case in the background and then writes the case number into the custom object. As you know, you can’t access cases offline. I knew this wouldn’t work in production and that there would be licensing issues but wanted them to see something.

Hey Jeff,

Nice heads up. Working on a similar POC at the moment. Just a quick question (and not related to my POC) – how did you get cases down to the AIR app? Did you work around the briefcase (as cI thought cases are not available in the briefcase)? Just got my mind ticking when a post on the boards asking the same thing and remembered your demo here….(can’t for the life of me find the post though)

Always enjoy your posts – cheers.

Nice to know, Jason. Thanks!

Heads up that the name of a value should never be more that 38 characters as you could run into this issue.

Comment on Passing Parameters with a CommandLink by Jeff Douglas

Thanks for the feedback Chris! Indeed, Wes is crazy. I think it’s too many pints before breakfast. I hope he continues the jQuery stuff also.

Keep up the great posts! (Don’t listen to Wes! There’s not nearly enough SFDC-jQuery info out there.) Your posts are extremely helpful in all areas… apex, vf, and jquery…. and I look forward to trying out the gwt. Thank you!

Yup, this is a classic bug. It should receive some type of Golden Bug Award for being so persistent. More than once have I forgot about it and then wonder why my markup wasn’t working,
