Can't you use Block/RenderBlock for this? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 12:29 PM To: Tapestry users; users@tapestry.apache.org Subject: RE: Is it possible to "swap components"?
Paul, We use a technique where we have a component that renders components dynamically. Basically, we put them all in a "page" that is never displayed. Then at runtime, we dynamically render a particular component. regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Paul Tongyoo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 6/29/2006 6:19 PM To: users@tapestry.apache.org Subject: Is it possible to "swap components"? Hello all! I'd like to define a generic "component placeholder" that does not have any specific type at compile time. Something like: <span jwcid="@ComponentContainer" component="ognl:someComponent>Component Placeholder</span> All the ComponentContainer would do is render the component that it's passed... <component-specification> <parameter name="component" required="yes" /> <!-I do NOT want to specify the 'type' attribute here because it can vary --> <component id="ComponentDisplay" property="component" /> </component-specification> ComponentContainer.HTML: <span jwcid="ComponentDisplay">Component displays Here</span> However Tapestry complains that the type of component isn't specified in the ComponentContainer.jwc. I also cannot pass an OGNL expression as the 'type' attribute value. Has anyone tried doing something similar - essentially swapping different components into a component placeholder at runtime? Thanks all for advice! Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
