So, your component needs to render something within an insert, right? But the value to render isn't known by the component; rather, it's some property of the page. So, in your component, you'd do (tapestry 3.0.3):
<parameter name="renderString" direction="in" required="yes" type="java.lang.String"/> In your component template you'd do: <span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:renderString"/> And in your page you'd do something like: <span jwcid="@MyCustomComponent" renderString="ognl:pageProperty"/> Where pageProperty is the property name to render on the page, and renderString can be whatever name makes sense for your component.
