Using another Component within another one

["F. Da Costa Gomez" <dc...@fixed.com>]

Hi all,

If I got:
Border.(jwc & html & java)
Login.(html & page & java)
Both defined in the .application

Can I gain access to Login, *within the Border.html* by using
	<table bla="dada" jwcid="@Login">
	...
	</table>
Or is this too simple a thought?

TIA

I understand what you're suggesting and it can certainly be done.
Basically I was trying *not* to introduce another component with common 
aspects.
Since I feel *less is more* I was looking for a way to utilize something 
(like Login.page, that already worked on its own) in another setting 
where life could be made easier by using just a little part of a 
independent logical whole. (forget about the fact that I put it into the 
<table> tag, blame it on the learning curve).

Or should I make a clear distinction between visual (.page) and 
non-visual (.jwc) components. Whereby .jwc can be used within .page but 
not vise versa (nor .page within .page)?
This is assuming one is just trying to gain access to non-visual stuff 
(i.e. calc this or verify that)
If the above is a completely wrong approach to applying Tapestry that's 
fine (it was just a thought).

I don't get where you are going with this.

If Login is a page, why would you want to insert it into a component?  As a
<table>?

If you have common features used in both the Login page, and in your Border
component, then you probably want to factor out a third component for the
common aspects.
