T5 embedded components

[Janko Muzykant <um...@googlemail.com>]

hi,
lets assume I have a root component with its html template. one of
components used in a template contains a component that interests me the
most. is it possible to get this embedded component from the root one? I
mean, is it generally possible to any component with allocated id from the
"root" of components tree (in my case from the Layout component) just like
this:

    @Inject
    private ComponentResources _resources;

    _resources.getEmbeddedComponent(id);

thanks.

You can cast a component to type org.apache.tapestry.runtime.Component
(this interface is added to component classes at runtime).  You can
than access the component's ComponentResources, including embedded
components.

This is not advised; it is possible (in much the way you can use
reflection to bypass accessor methods of Java classes) but generally
indicates that you have wandered off The Golden Path.
