Perfect! Thank you very much. Are those examples out there anywhere?
I've posted some things to this list, so check the archives and see if you can turn it up. Searching for ITemplateSourceDelegate ought to get you there.
BTW, love Lucene in Action...
Thanks!!!! Always a joy to hear.

Has anyone out there attempted to dynamically load a page template
from the database at runtime? For instance, imagine I had a model
property on a page specification, and that model had a string property
containing template text. Would it be possible to render this as the
page template (or component template for that matter)? I know this
has been touched on by a few people, but I haven't found any solid
examples for doing it. Just wanted to see if anyone had attempted
this before re-inventing the proverbial wheel...
I have done prototype examples of this. The plumbing is in place. In Tapestry 3.0 (and surely 4.0 also) you can create an ITemplateSourceDelegate and register it as an <extension> in your .application file. Any time a template cannot be found in the web application where its supposed to be by default, it will ask your delegate for it.
This, in my opinion, is one of Tapestry's greatest (but relatively unknown) strengths!
