How to create Master-Detail view
Hi, everyone
I start to explore world of Tapestry 5. It so exciting. But at first
time is very difficult to find simple elegant (maybe pattern-like)
solution. And i want to ask, can any point or give advice on creating
Master-Detail presentation. I want to have two independent component
but with posibility to link. Selecting element in one is display
coresponding subset of data in another. But also i want to use it
independent (especialy Master view) for managing Master datasource.
Thanks

But the correct solution was in using prop: prefix to refer to
enclosing component.
Thanks for pointing. Work in progress.

The only way i can achive result is ugly getSelf hack. Thru
environmental service i can't access no component no wraped component.

You can only use component:componentId for components declared in the same
template.
A quick and dirty way would be to add a getSelf() { return this; } method
in your component class and them pass feedList="self".
A more elegant way would be to use the Environmental service, something
I've never used but seems to be easy.

Re: How to create Master-Detail view

One more question. How to pass enclosing component into nested. I mean
"self". In loop i render elements and i want to pass enclosing element
as parameter in template
For example: (start component template)
<div id="feedList"
xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_1_0.xsd"
xmlns:p="tapestry:parameter">
<ul>
<li t:type="loop" t:source="feeds" t:value="feed">
<t:feedelement feed="feed" feedList="component:feedList"/>
</li>
</ul>
<a t:type="PageLink" t:page="EditFeed" href="#">Create new Feed...</a>
</div>
I want to pass FeedList (template of which) into FeedElement. But my
example are wrong.

From template, you can pass a component to a component parameter:
t:parametername="component:componentId".
In a page or component class that uses the given component,
@InjectComponent private ComponentType component;

You could do that by:
* Having the first component has a non-required parameter that is the
linked component
* Actions are handled by events. The first component, handling some event,
would then invoke methods in the second component to change its state.
Components (and pages too) are simple stateful objects, so they can
interact with each other just by invoking methods.
* Components (both or just the linked one) is rerendered.
Better explained now? :) Most of the time, doing something in Tapestry is
simpler than we think at first.

By linking i mean next:
When i perform (for example) select action on first component, second
should get selected value and display corresponding changes. But if
one of components is absent, then components should work standalone
without interaction with each other.

Just declare them in the template.

What do you mean by linked in this scenario?
Anyway, take a look here:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/ref/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/AjaxFormLoop.html.
It provides a master/detail example.

By "component" i mean Tapestry component. I try to understand how to
place two components on page. And make they optionaly linked.

But they're tools that make the task of implementing a master/detail form
easier. ;)
Solution outline:
* Create a Zone in your template with a Form inside it to edit the detail
object.
* Create one EventLink for each object. Don't forget to set their context
parameter with the object id and the zone parameter.
* In the method that handles the EventLink, set the object that is edited
by the form above.

What are you calling a component here? Anyway, your question is quite
vague.
Components interact with each other by parameters, triggering events or
through an environmental variable.

I am not sure if i understand u. Maybe what u need is just a
ActionLink or EventLink that updates a zone containing the details.
U can see examples here:
