Yes Robert; that is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I'm willing to write the meta component myself but I don't know how to ensure Tapestry loads the component dynamically. I'm sure there is a service somewhere and I simply use the path to the component or some such. Sadly; this is something I assumed would be a trivial thing to implement but now it's proving to be a nightmare. Peter: I've poured over those examples closely now and I still don't see how this does what I need. I'm not trying to be argumentative or dense, but I'm not seeing how it provides what I'm looking for. The best I can come up with using RenderBlock is something like this: TEMPLATE -=-=- <html> ... <span jwcid="@RenderBlock" block="ad1">Ad1</span> <span jwcid="@RenderBlock" block="ad2">Ad1</span> <span jwcid="@RenderBlock" block="ad2">Ad1</span> ... </html> PAGE USING TEMPLATE (one of almost 2000) -=-=- <html> .... <span jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <span jwcid="@otherProductsListThisAd"> </span> <span jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <span jwcid="@otherPurchasedProductsAd"> </span> <span jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <span jwcid="@popularProductsAd"> </span> .... </html> Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
