t:TextField and t:TextArea

[Luther Baker <lu...@gmail.com>]

Is there a global way to explicitly set or override *html *(non-CSS)
attributes on tapestry components like textfield and textarea?

For instance, in one particular app, I have to override almost all of my
components with t:Parameters that define slightly custom sizes for these:

textfield: size="106" maxlength="105"
textarea: cols="80" rows="4"

But in my case, these custom sizes apply to 90% of the fields in the 15
forms.

What you need is to implement a DataTypeAnalyzer, define two "Tapestry  
types" (in parenthesis because they're just a name) and provide edition  
blocks for them. And contributing your DataTypeAnalyzer to the  
DataTypeAnalyzer service:

public static void  
contributeDataTypeAnalyzer(OrderedConfiguration<DataTypeAnalyzer>  
configuration) {
         configuration.add("SomeIdJustUsedForSorting", new  
YourDataTypeAnalyzer(), "before:Default");
}
