Hi all,
I have a custom component with a complex .html file
and it accepts a parameter. I am not sure what I am
supposed to do in the renderComponent method. It is
empty right now and naturally nothing is getting
rendered. I noticed in the Tapestry In Action book
that Howard is rendering the output with the writer
object. I cannot do that since I have a template
already. What do I do?
What am I supposed to do in this method if I have a
template?
If you have a template and simply want to render it, then subclass
from BaseComponent and do _not_ override renderComponent. If you
need to do rendering yourself, subclass from AbstractComponent
instead and implement the abstract method needed for rendering.
I've never seen a case where you needed to have both a template and
do rendering in code manually.
