And hopefully nobody's re-inventing the wheel here because Trails has a pretty extensive support even for the not-so-simple cases. I know Howard that you and Chris Nelson have talked a bit, so I hope you take a look at the existing Trails code and steal/borrow from it or ask for changes before you go and write the same for Tap5. I'm also (im)patiently waiting for Tapestry 4.1 release to upgrade Trails to use it and I'd be more than happy to assist in changes to make it easier to support Tap5.

BeanForm exists for Tapestry 4, and Tapestry 5 will have some kind of similar support. I've been laying the groundwork for quite a while.

One object is Car and one is Engine. If you want to edit a car, a dropdown box with Engines would need to be displayed. As Tapestry needs to know which field is the one to display, this could either be done by using the getName() method, getDisplayName() method or by using Annotations e.h. @DisplayEditField. > > > > This would massively speed up Tapestry projects, you would then only need a single line in your page files and the rest is done by Tapestry.... > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > -- > Jesse Kuhnert > Tapestry/Dojo team member/developer > > Open source based consulting work centered around > dojo/tapestry/tacos/hivemind. http://blog.opencomponentry.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Howard M.
