about and , they just do the same(or very similar) thing

[liigo <li...@hotpop.com>]

please look on <set> and <binding>, they just do the same(or very similar)
thing,
why not use the same keywork <set>?


<bean name="passwordValidator"
class="org.apache.tapestry.valid.StringValidator">
     <set name="minLength" value="6"/>
     <set name="maxLength" value="12"/>
</bean>

<component id="password" type="TextField">
     <binding name="value" value="ognl:user.password"/>
     <binding name="label" value="Password"/>
</component>


if all use <set>, we can write this:

<component id="password" type="TextField">
     <SET name="value" value="ognl:user.password"/>
     <SET name="label" value="Password"/>
</component>

<binding> creates a binding object (an instance of IBinding) that
knows about the page (*) and can read/update OGNL expression rooted in
the page.  The binding is passed into the component so that it can
gain access to properties of the page.  The <set> element is more
traidtional, a value is obtained and injected in (set and forget). 
Parameters and bindings are bi-directional, the component can (via the
binding) change the properties of the page.


(*) I use the term page for clarity, it's really the container of the
component which is often a page, but nearly as often, another
component.

Internally "binding" is much more than just setting a property. A
static-binding is more comparable to set. Anyhow this can be confusing
in the beginning (especially the directions).
