T5: HiddenField?

So.. Is there really ho HiddenField component for Tapestry 5?
Is this just a minor oversight, or is there a different way to add 
values to be passed through form?

It just happened to me that the client persistence strategy could be used  
for this kind of scenario. I haven't used that yet, though.

Maybe a JIRA for that. :)

thank you. :)

onSuccess would be WAY too late. :)  The whole point to have hidden 
variables is to make sure state is carried through so that we have 
something to work with.. :)

thank you for pointing out Chenillekit, maybe I'll look into it, but we 
already had to create our own HiddenField, just wondering why it's not 
there by default in Tapestry.. because I think it's a pretty valid 
usecase.. :)

later

Not right! :) It would be passed to you onSuccess method, AFAIK.

There's the Hidden component in Chenillekit:  
http://www.chenillekit.org/chenillekit-tapestry/ref/org/chenillekit/tapestry/core/components/Hidden.html.  
By the way, there are some really nice components there.

.. but yet not really..

Since if I use a form context, then I think I have to then create a 
special event listener to deal with that context right? 
onActionFromForm(context)...

I just want to add hidden fields, and have the component take care of 
serializing and deserializing the values appropriately..

thank you :)

One option is to use Form's context parameter. AFAIK, it works exactly  
like the context parameter found in PageLink, ActionLink and EventLink.
