Unless I am completely off the mark, I typically pass the IRequestCycle to my non-tapestry components and just use it. Once you have the Request Cycle, you can get the page you need and ask it for the component.

I have a java class, a service class, that needs to retrieve a Tapestry Component. This service class is 'outside' of Tapestry in that it's not a page, not a component, nor does it extend any Tapestry base classes. My question is: how can my service class retrieve a tapestry component? If we change things slightly and make my Tapestry component a Page instead, then this problem has an easy solution: simply pass the IRequestCycle to the service method and use IRequestCycle.getPage(<pagename>), but it seems not possible to retrieve a Component in this way, or am I missing something?! Short of injecting the component into some page, retrieving that page in my service then using IPage.getComponent(), I can't see another way. (And I really don't want to do it that way!) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
