Component.onBeforeRender() vs. IBehavior.beforeRender

[Bart Molenkamp <b....@bizzdesign.nl>]

Hi,

I found out that IBehavior.beforeRender() is called within
Component.render(), while Component.onBeforeRender() is called
before the rendering phase.

Is this correct behavior? There is a difference in this, because
a component.onBeforeRender() can change the hierarchy, while
IBehavior.beforeRender() cannot. Both names suggest that they
should be called at the same time (that is, right before or after
the Component.onBeforeRender() is called I would expect that
IBehavior.beforeRender() is called).

Thanks,
Bart.

Hi, semantically the IBehavior.beforeRender() and Component.onBeforeRender()
are two different things.
IBehavior.beforeRender() and afterRender() are used to wrap component output
in custom markup, while Component.onBeforeRender() is place to initialize
component, build it's children, etc.
