About tile and portlet
I am newbie in Tapestry.. and I believe that tapestry is
good... and may be better than Struts.
But I have question.. in Struts there is Tile or like
templating concept.. or there is portlet in Jetspeed..
Can we do have the same action or can we do like
those.. in Tapestry?
Sorry,, I'm just newbie want to learn Tapestry.. because
the comments in Theserverside is very good... :)

Yes, I believe you can using the Block and RenderBlock components. You
basically create your blocks in one place like the jsp fragments and you
can dynamically pass a "block" to the RenderBlock component which would
render it. Take a look at the example at component reference,

You'll basically turn your thinking inside out and create a component. Components can have their
own templates in Tapestry (unlike JSP tags) and theres a component, RenderBody, that specifically
allows you to integrate a component's template with the container's template ... it all flows very
naturally.
If you look at the Workbench or the Vlib, they have complex navigational borders with a lot of
logic. Each page (in both apps) does the equivalent of:
<span jwcid="border">
Page specific content goes here.
</span>
The border component takes care of the <html>, <body> tags, a <table> around the page (for layout),
rendering the correct images for the various tabs and other stuff.
When simple containment no longer works, you can use the Block and RenderBlock components to
literally "tear out" a portion of a page and pass it around as a unit, even to another page.

RE: About tile and portlet
Posted by Shawn Smith <sh...@shawnco-civil.com>.
I have a question about a similar subject.
In JSPs I have used the include directive to dynamically insert page
fragments into my main page. So basically the main page looks similar to
this:
Header
<jsp:include page="<%=UI.getNavigationInclude()%>" flush="true"/>
<jsp:include page="<%=UI.getMainInclude()%>" flush="true"/>
Footer
And then I have a zillion navigation pages and main pages that consist of
just the navigation portion and the main part of this page. So if I ever
need to change the header or the footer I only need to edit the single file.
Is there a way to dynamically include pages or page fragments into a page in
a similar fashion?
Thanks,
Shawn

I had the same questions when I came Tapestry first. Take a look at the
Border component in the Vlib example that comes with Tapestry.
Basically, you create a component for all the repeated portions of
various pages and use this component in those pages instead of repeating
it. In the Vlib example this component is the Border component.
