Specifying my own tapestry.url.BaseTagWriter
I'd like to use my own implementation of BaseTagWriter that does nothing.
This is so that relative anchor tag links work like our designers are used
to in static html pages. I've tried overriding the Shell class to do
everything but write the base tag, and everything works fine (our html
templates are all in the servlet root). But that's hackish and ugly. Is
there a hivemind way to do this? I'm sure there is but it's not jumping out
at me.
Thanks,
Chris

On a second though, it will work only if friendly url is used with
"html" as the extension. So, not a good solution.

I think this is a bug. BaseTagWriter should really use the URL of the
template as the BASE url, not the URL of its directory.

I found this, which explains the hivemind override pretty well:
http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/override.html
I made a BaseTagWriter that just does nothing. I'm not sure we really need
any base tag at all.

Yeah, I had the same issue. I resolved it by creating my own version of the
BaseTagWriter and then referencing that in hivemind...see the notes below.
/**

* </implementation>
*
* @author

public class EmptyBaseTagWriter implements IRender {
/**
* This prevents rendering of the any base tag.
*/
public void render(IMarkupWriter writer, IRequestCycle cycle)
{
IPage page = cycle.getPage();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("/");
if(page.getNamespace().getId() == null)
{
String name = page.getPageName();
int slashx = name.lastIndexOf('/');
if(slashx > 0)
sb.append(name.substring(0, slashx + 1));
}
}
}
