Subject: Re: [BLKBRD-L] Storing a value globally in a portal module

Thanks for the reminder, Dennis.

// Read a global variable called "gVariable" that's available to all
users within a module

CustomData customData = CustomData.getData(pageContext); String
globalVariable = customData.getValue("gVariable")

// Save "someValue" to the gVariable global variable that's available to
// that module (usually done in a process_edit.jsp of the module after
// it's been read and editted in edit.jsp)

customData.setValue("someValue",gVariable);
customData.save();

I would suggest that you ask questions like this at
BB-OPEN_SRC@LISTS.VCU.EDU or visit http://bbug.ca as there is much
Blackboard Building Block development discussion there.

Hope this helps,
Santo Nucifora
