Customization of BeanEdit Component

[Sean Bollin <sb...@sfeveo.com>]

My problem: I am experience HTML lay-out limitations with the BeanEdit 
component.

Is something like this possible:

<t:form>
<t:beanedit />
<t:checkbox />
<t:submit />
</t:form>

Where the SUBMIT handles both the checkbox AND the beanedit component?

It doesn't seem like I can use a checkbox as part of the beanedit 
component - because I need the layout to be reversed.  I need the 
checkbox to come first in the markup, followed by the label - the 
opposite of the default behavior.

Thanks! :)

BeanEditor was not made to be flexible in layout, but to have a form  
implemented quickly.

You don't need the Submit component to submit a form. You can use an  
ordinary <input type="submit"/> tag. You just use the Submit component  
when you have more than one action in the same form, and that doesn't seem  
to be your case.

You can use BeanEditor to render the rest of your form fields and override  
the checkbox field part. The BeanEditForm guide in the Tapestry  
documentation tells you how to do that.
