Tables, Java - Java Not being Called for each TableComponent Cell

[stuckless]

I have Table that display a List of Files as Movie objects. As part of my table component item, i have an Image and i'm setting the file source as

<File>=SageEMC_Videos_getIcon(CurVideo)</File>

My issue is that SageEMC_Videos_getIcon(CurVideo) ONLY gets called for the first view of the table, such that, i get back valid "icons" for each table item, BUT when I scroll the table items, the SageEMC_Videos_getIcon(CurVideo) never gets called again. Then end result is that I get a first page of valid icons, but as I scroll the table items, Sage just randomly reuses an icon, but never calls my java code to get the actual file source.

Am I missing something in how the STV and Java work together?

Thanks for any assistance in helping me understand the error of my ways.

Instead of setting the property, try passing it down to the Image widget using an Action widget like so:

(Action) SageEMC_Videos_getIcon(CurVideo)
    (Image)

This is assuming that SageEMC_Videos_getIcon() returns a unique file path for each video. If it's overwriting temp files and reusing the same file path for more than one video, then Sage won't know to reload the image file.

Thanks Greg,

Moving the image source to to the action did enable sage to better pick up the image path. Even though I have read and re-read the Image documentation in the Studio guide, I don't see why there is a distinction between using the Action to dynamically set the file, and setting it using a java call (which works, except that it never updates it again). I guess that's where my lack of understanding the complexities of stv processing comes into play.

Thanks for your help,
Sean.

You might want to submit a support request, if it's getting called for each tablecomponent in the displayed window, but not for non-displayed ones, that doesn't sound right.
