RE: [Tapestry-developer] Refreshing ala .jsp style

["Howard M. Lewis Ship" <hl...@attbi.com>]

Tapestry has a lot of "walls" that seperate components from their templates.
It would be non-trivial to assemble a list of resources and timestamps and
check them.  It is possible, but would require some significant amount of
work on the code.  You can add a feature request if you like, but I've
always envisioned Tapestry apps as packaged into WARs and deployed normally;
I realize you would like to drop individual templates into place and have
them picked up immediately.  Again, you can use the reset service (or design
something similar and incorporate it into your own application).

Thanks for the warning. 

We will change pages on our site (in .jsp) every couple of weeks to try to
tweak order conversion (change wording/color of buttons/move stuff around on
the page). We just drop the .jsp out and things continue to work. Flushing
user sessions doesn't make sense in these cases.

It would be nice, don't you think, if Tapestry did a file timestamp compare
to keep this relatively inexpensive (on the .page & .html file)? Possibly I
can submit this as a feature request. Or is it inherently difficult to
implement in Tapestry?

RE: [Tapestry-developer] Refreshing ala .jsp stylesetting it to true forces 
Tapestry to re-read the specs and templates on every request. Its a 
development-time switch only. 

Cheers,

  true = "detect changes"? 

  Is this particularly expensive? Does it just check the file timestamp?
