Updating zones from a page that uses a layout
Hello everyone,
I have a layout component, used by a page called "Start".
This layout component has a zone component in it that I intend to load
components into it using ajax. The links supposed to initiate such update is
in the layout component. But the link events must be handled by the page
utilizing the layout component (after a search on google).
So after I added the following method to the "Start" page:
e.g.
onActionFromLayout(){
...
}
I couldn't refer to "Blocks" defined in the layout component from the Start
page, because simply they doesn't exist in the Start page's tml file !
I can put those components in the Start page .tml file instead, but then
I'll have to redefine all the components I could load by ajax into each
other. As any component lead to the other one !
Generally, how can I tackle such organization issue ? May be you guys know
some other easier\more efficient way to do that.
Please find attached a picture to elaborate my case.
Thank you all for your time.

Thank you Mark for replying.
That's not my case. The layout component will have to refer to components
defined in it's tml file.
Anyway I tried that yesterday, still an error message appeared saying that
"Start" doesn't have handlers for the fired events.
I found this page
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SimpleAndPowerfulLayouts
<http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SimpleAndPowerfulLayouts>Which
made me think, why am I using layouts ? It's more convincing to me that
layouts are best for pages utilizing a layout component and that's it.
My design is more about components. So far I'm only using a single page and
didn't benefit from the layout thing, I implemented something I don't need,
guess I was just trying to explore tapestry.
I'll implement the idea in that page and get back to you with any good info
I reach.
Thank you very much for your time :)

Hi,
Why not have everything in the layout component, both event handlers and
zone? An example:
layout.tml:
...
<t:zone t:id="testzone">
<t:eventlink event="updatetestzone" zone="testzone">update
time</t:eventlink>
${CurrentTime}
</t:zone>
..
Layout.java:
...
@InjectComponent
private Zone testzone;
public Date getCurrentTime()
{
return new Date();
}
public Object onUpdatetestzone() {
return testzone.getBody();
}
...
Best Regards
Mats
