Re: MyPage in Tapestry?

[Howard Lewis Ship <hl...@gmail.com>]

For highly dynamic web pages, you have multiple options.

The easiest is to use the Block and RenderBlock components. These
allow you to "corral" some components and control if and when they
render at an arbitrary time.

You can also use application extensions to "hook" how Tapestry reads
and parses specifications and templates; this is much more complex but
may gain you more runtime flexibility.

Remember that components aren't the only things that can render!
IRender is the key interface. So if you need to jump back into Java
code to render part of your page, you can.
