[jira] Created: (TAP5-739) Allow recursion of a component within itself

Allow recursion of a component within itself
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAP5-739
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-739
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Seth Call


Ideally, Tapestry would allow a component to be nested within itself.

Because recursion of a component within itself is not possible, it is very difficult to represent a tree structure, which a component representing each node of the tree.

[jira] Closed: (TAP5-739) Allow recursion of a component within itself

----------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

This can't be implemented in Tapestry without rewriting it from scratch. Read the "Principle 1 -- Static Structure, Dynamic Behavior" section of http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1/ to know why. Summary: Tapestry has a static tree of components, and allowing recursion in templates needs dynamic instantiation of components.

By the way, it's not hard to render trees or tree-like structures inside a component: just render everything in code. One example: http://ars-machina.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ars-machina/tapestry-crud/branches/1.1/src/main/java/br/com/arsmachina/tapestrycrud/components/TreeSelect.java?revision=595&view=markup.
