Templating with Tapestry 5
Ok, I've been barking up a tree the whole day... and I'm not even sure it's
the wrong one.
I want to be able to do real component templating like struts has it's
tiles. So my page (CoolPage) would look something like this:
<t:layout/>
.. a one liner
My CoolPage.java would have some string properties referring to components
that it would inject into layout. It also extends an abstract class which
has the default template associated with it (Layout):
class CoolPage extends AbstractPage {
@Component(parameters{"navbar=coolnavbar", "header=coolheader"})
private Layout _layout;
private String _coolnavbar = "navbarComponentName"
private String _coolheader = "headerComponentName"
etc...
}
The component names might be delegated down several levels of components to
whatever component needs that specific information.
Then Layout.html would look something like:
<div t:type="navbar"/>
Layout.java looks like this:
class Layout {
private String _navbar;
accessors here
}
The problem occurs because Layout.html does NOT grab the injected string
names put resolves the component to be of type navbar which does not exist.
I am doing this because the look-and-feel of the application carries 3
layers of components. The layers have just been created to wrap the
components in Yahoo UI divs mostly. I don't want to have to redo the default
layout on every tapestry page if something changes.That's why i am trying to
keep all that in one layout and inject components into the layout. The
layout class doesn't know what component goes where, it should just hold a
basket of injected components and the template should know where to put the
components.
Any ideas?... or is there a better way?

Went down this road recently.
You have a Layout component (call it what you want)
<html><body>some static stuff
<t:body/>
</body>
</html>
and each page uses the layout;
<t:layout>
body body
</t:layout>
if you want more flexibility, you can pass in other components as
parameters, and use t:delegate to render them
<t:layout>
<t:parameter name="sidebar">
<t:sidebar t:id="sidebar"/>
</t:parameter>
body body
</t:layout>
and in the layout:
<t:delegate to="propertyNameOfYourParameter"/>

But that's Tapestry 4, no? Oh I think I get it. In tapestry 5 you have the
<t:body/> Basically, you wrap your components in layouts.

Re: Templating with Tapestry 5

Just look closely at the Workbench example that comes
with Tapestry:
Border component has
<span jwcid="@RenderBody">Page content goes
here.</span>
And individual pages look like this;
<span jwcid="@Border"> <-- this is the first page
line
..
Meaningful page content
..
</span>

Re: Templating with Tapestry 5
Posted by Konstantin Ignatyev <kg...@yahoo.com>.
Had the same problem when I started with T after
spending too much time with Struts.
In T Layout is usually done upside down compared to
struts: layout is handled by Border component that is
wrapper to the page content.
Feels weird initially but works well.
