How to set the template for a component or page dynamically?
Hi, All
The more work I have done with Tapestry, The more I found that the real
resuable part of the component are specification and classes of these
components. Every web apps will has their own look and feel, so the html
templates are hard to reuse. So I wonder, can we set the template as a
paramter to a component?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Easily? Not currently. But Tapestry is extremely dynamic and
pluggable. You can key off the engine and control where templates come
from, or use ITemplateSourceDelegate. It definitely won't work with
the syntax you proposed (currently).
I'm not in a position to devote much time to contemplate this at the
moment - maybe others have some ideas?

Hi Erik,
I just want to let the component user be able to set the template for
the component just as easily as set a paramemter.
For example:
Compoent Foo has a parameter named template
so I just use it like this
<component id="foo" type="Foo">
<binding name="template" expression="assets.fooTemplate">
</compoent>
That's what I want, Can we archieve this easily in Tapestry?
Thanks alot:)

I'm not quite sure of the specifics of your scenario, but a couple of
brief thoughts:
- you can override templates. so if you have a library of components,
you can override the HTML template by simply putting a the same HTML
named file into the WEB-INF/classes directory in the right spot.
- Use ITemplateSourceDelegate and do not include HTML templates into
your application, and generate them dynamically however you like.
