Finding component name in script?

[Patrik Westlund <pa...@lemonlime.se>]

I have written a component consisting of a Select component and three 
Submit buttons (Add,Edit,Delete). Works fine. Now I want to enable and 
disable the buttons from javascript depending on if any item in the 
Select component is selected by the user. How can I find the names of 
the submit buttons so I can pass these to my script?

The code is very similar to the tapestry-contrib Palette component.

---
protected void renderComponent(IMarkupWriter writer, IRequestCycle cycle) {

// Other stuff here

   if (!cycle.isRewinding()) {
     symbols = new HashMap(MAP_SIZE);
     runScript(cycle);
   }
   super.renderComponent(writer, cycle);
}

private void runScript(IRequestCycle cycle) {
     if (script == null) {
       IEngine engine = getPage().getEngine();
       IScriptSource source = engine.getScriptSource();
       IResourceLocation specificationLocation = 
getSpecification().getSpecificationLocation();
       IResourceLocation scriptLocation = 
specificationLocation.getRelativeLocation("SortList.script");
       script = source.getScript(scriptLocation);
     }

     Body body = Body.get(cycle);
     IForm form = Form.get(cycle);
     symbols.put("sortList", this);

     IFormComponent addBtn = (IFormComponent) getComponent("addButton");
     symbols.put("addButtonName", addBtn.getName());
     script.execute(cycle, body, symbols);
   }

But since the script is executed before the submit buttons are rendered 
the names are not known. Is there some way to find the name for the 
submit and pass it to the script? Or maybe set a name explicitly for 
button and script?

Patrik
