Newbie : Tapestry 4 Disgarding the Page Specification
I am new Tapestry 4 user and I am trying to standardize on using just the HTML
page and Annotations. My page specifications are empty and I have used the
application specification file to indicate the package name for all my Java Page
classes as well. I no longer want to specify any page specification files at
all since they are pretty much empty, but tapestry throws an exception when I
remove them. Is there any way to configure tapestry 4 so that you do not have
to specify page specifications. Thanks for the help and by the way I am very
impressed by Tapestry 4.........

I used to have a program called MicroMoney on my palm pilot. Unfortunately
about last October my pilot stopped hotsyncing - meaning I had no backup for
all the data.
I spent December writing a tapestry app to replicate it, and then improve it
with an ability to handle foreign currencies (in my work I have to travel
around Europe, and need to claim expenses in Pounds for expenses incurred in
Euros, Czech Krona etc).
The actual version with my data is hidden behind https and a login, but there
is a demo available at
http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk/moneydemo/app
The source code of the app is available for download

Did you restart you application server. Since pages are cached by tapestry
you can't just update the page and expect it to work.

In my case tomcat is front ended by Apache, so requests for html files never
get through to tomcat. However if you are worried you can change the
extension. (see configuration in the user guide)

http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/template.html#template.locations
"In addition, any HTML template in the web application context is
considered a page, even if there is no matching page specification."

This is one of the downsides of specless pages for sure.

Thanks for the help. In the end I did actually get it working using the
ognl:beans.delegate.firstError binding. I am not entirely sure why it didn't
work the first few times I tried it but in the end it did. So thanks again.
Can anyone explain or point to where in the Tapestry docs that it discusses why
you have to move your html files to web root if you don't use page
specifications. Also with your html files in the web root directory is there
any strategies that are used in the tapestry community to prevent a user from
calling an HTML file directly from the browser and not having it protected by
being in the WEB-INF directory, or am I missing something and tapestry is
protecting me from this problem...I am a struts user and just trying to get into
the tapestry way of thinking.
Thanks again everyone for the help....cheers.

Tried it with the ognl:beans.delegate.firstError binding and it still gave the
same error. This has only happened since moving the HTML files to the root web
directory, before that it worked fine.

I moved the HTML files to the root web directory and it seems to have solved the
problem with the system not finding the page specification. However now I am
getting a binding exception. See Below. This worked perfectly before but now
this error is occuring after I move the HTML files. The error is occuring on
the ognl:delegate.firstError line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the main thing that causes people problems with this is that
they don't realize you have to move the .html files from WEB-INF/ to
the root web directory.

It certainly works, I have three applications running tapestry on my web site
(blog, famtree and akcmoney) all of which don't use them (I occassionally
have a component spec when I don't need a Java class). You are welcome to
take a look at them as examples, the code is either in "git" repositories, or
if you don't know what that is and don't use it, tarballs of the code at
snapshot points exist in the files download section (go to Software Corner of
the web site from the url in my signature).
The application specification sits in the WEB-INF directory and defines the
class packages location as the example below (from blog) shows (apologies for
mail word wrap)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification 4.0//EN"

I am using exclipse (with the wtp package) to develop so although the java
classes will ultimately be under WEB-INF/classes, the WEB-INF itself is under
the Webcontent directory and java sources under the JavaSources directory in
the packages defined above.
The html templates for pages are at the top level in Webcontent, component
templates are in the WEB-INF directory.
my hivemodule.xml file is in the META-INF directory under Javasource.

Stewart, you need to give us more information in order for us to help out.
Could you pls,
post the application spec contents?
tell us where in the folder layout the app spec is located?
