50 dollars reward
Hello everyone!
As there were no replies, I will offer a reward of 50
dollar/euros or an answer, paid via PayPal.
If someone could anser my question, it would be really
nice and it would help me a lot on my understanding of
tapestry.
Let`s reverse engineer from the html output to
tapestry.
Imagine I want to have the following output for a
webpage, one in English, one in German.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>english title</TITLE>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="english content">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td>Heading</td></tr>
<tr><td>my content</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>deutscher titel</TITLE>
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="deutscher inhalt">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td>Überschrift</td></tr>
<tr><td>mein Inhalt</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
___________________________________________________
The Tapestry page should look like follows (?)
<HTML>
<span jwcid="header" title="_WELCOME_TITEL"
language="?HTTP_USER_AGENT[language]?"/>
<BODY>
<span jwcid="mainframe">
<span jwcid="sidebox" heading="_HEADING_OVERVIEW">
_DEMO_TEXT
</span>
</span>
</BODY>
</HTML>
_____________________________________________________
1. Would that be the right direction of using Tapestry
and if not how would it look like? Just forget all the
java and xml stuff for a while and just regard the
html template.
2. how would the components look like in the jwc
files? do i need a jwc file for something without
parameters?
do i need classes for those jwc components? what would
they look like?
3. how do i tell the template to use the browser
language from the HTTP_USER_AGENT variables? How would
I pass it to the component?
4. where would I specifiy the constants for both
languages?
5. or how would you do it?
Could we maybe discuss this and also add it to the
tutorial as an example?
Thank you very much!

I don't want your money, and my answer is probably only going to give
you pointers to your own solution, but here goes....

For your simplistic example where all you want is text replacement
between languages, just use <span key="title"/>, etc. Then use
localized resource bundles for each language. The workbench shows an
example of this.
If the differences is actual structural differences in the templates
themselves, then you can have a different template for each language
using the same naming conventions that you use for localized resource
bundles (with the locale as a suffix - *_de.html, for example).

Components would be the same regardless of language. The resource
bundles would vary if they have text associated with them.

I believe this is the default behavior and you would not have to do
anything manually to have the browser requested locale picked up. I'm
not currently looking at the code, but this how I believe it works
(correct me if I'm wrong).
Components pick up the locale just like pages do. No worries there.

No need to if you just want the language selected from the browser
request.
Again, look at how the L10N tab works in the workbench for an example
(although its a programatic example there, but would not have to be).

Once again, look at the workbench example and if that is insufficient
then feel free to modify it to be more along the lines of what you want
to see and submit it back to us.
I would do it as I have stated here - simply use locale-specific
resource bundles per page or component and let Tapestry's automatic
handling of browser request locale do the work.
