<apply>

Syntax

<apply templateURI="..." />

<apply template="template1" arg="value">
    <template name="template1">
        ...
        <label value="@load(arg)" />
    </template>
</apply>

Description

Purpose:

The apply tag allows you to choose which <template> to be applied. You specify the template's name using the template attribute or the template's URI using the templateURI attribute.

There are two ways to pass parameters to the applied shadow: First, you can use an additional attribute in ZUL, like: <apply templateURI="/WEB-INF/mypage" arg="something" />

Second, you can use the query string: <apply templateURI="/WEB-INF/mypage?arg=something" />

With the query string, you can pass only the String values. The parameter can be accessed with the arg variable in EL expressions.

Example

<apply templateURI="@load(vm.templateURI)"/>

<apply template="@load(vm.template)" arg="@ref(vm.xxx)">
    <template>Default</template>
    <template name="a">
        <label value="@load(arg)" />
    </template>
    <template name="b">...</template>
</apply>
