Zone refresh in form fragment 'wizard'
Hi there!
I'm following Geoff's excellent jumpstart on creating a wizard using form
fragments. I've got it all working so far, but I want to create a summary
form fragment that displays a table with the text that was entered on the
previous form fragment panel. The final page has a zone defined and
delegated to a block which appears at the bottom of the tml file. Just
before I move on to the last panel, the onSuccess() routine sets some page
parameters that are defined in the tml file. It then returns the block to
the page. Problem is, the block never gets rendered. I've looked through
the zone examples I've found posted, but none of them seems to do what I am
asking it to do.
Do I have to have a non-visible submit on the page to trigger the zone
update? Or is there some magic that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

No takers? Ah well...I'll break it into separate pages. I just wish I knew
what I was doing wrong. Maybe a renderobject in the template would help?
Igor, can't wait for your book!

I've looked at the form fragments in firebug. It doesn't appear that the
form fragment is being changed at all except the visible attribute. I've
pasted the output from firebug below:
Before fragment 3:
<div id="formfragment_1" class="t-invisible tapestry-formfragment">
<input id="formfragment_1-hidden" type="hidden" name="t:formdata"
value="H4sIAAAAAAAAAFvzloG1XI5BJjElNzNPPzW3ICe/MjVVPyS1uMSquDQpN7Mk3rC4iMEhvyhdL7EgMTkjVa8ksQAoW1RpqpecX5Sak5kEpHML8vNS80qK9YLBelQCivKTU4uLwbzi4sz8vJnBnyS3bmlxZmJg8mHgSM7JBKr2TClhEPLJSixL1M9JzEvXDy4pysxLt/Zh4E7NSc0FKvBLzE0tZKhjYKwoKGHggDrHCIkJAH81VIC+AAAA">
<h2>That's all we need!</h2>
<p></p>
Please verify the following information:
<p></p>
<div id="summaryZone" class="t-zone tapestry-zone"></div>
<p></p>
To complete this employee, press the
<em>Finish</em>

On fragment 3:

Have you checked what Tapestry is returning in Firebug or some similar
tool? Are you sure you're returning a non-null block?

I've just added a few more debugging statements... isInSubmit() is getting
called before each fragment rendering phase. It returns false on the first
two fragments and true on the last.
What I see is this: The first and second fragments work as expected...the
first just presenting text, and the second accepting input with
beaneditor. The third fragment (submit) shows everything EXCEPT for the
zone that is set in it. I am returning the block in onSuccess() when I
change the fragment from General to Submit (fragment 2 to 3). No
exceptions are shown. It is almost as if Tapestry is ignoring the block
altogether.

What exactly is happening? Are you sure the isInSubmit() returns true when
you're rendering the FormFragment?

Hi Thiago!
Thanks for the quick response. I put together a smaller version of my page
to save some space. It exhibits the same problems. No exceptions are
thrown in the console, but I can see my page going through onSuccess
properly because of a printf I put in there.
I did see another example just a few minutes ago (again in Jumpstart) that
has an Ajax OnEvent zone updater mixin...maybe this is what I am missing?
