I'm not sure what all of this search/replace/sweep stuff is but basic updates should work . .. Maybe if you try again with an example I can understand easier I can help.
p.s. You can use updateComponents="basket_container" or updateComponents="basket_container, another_container" now if you want...Support was added in for easier string list expressions. On 2/21/07, Andreas Pardeike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I've seen some examples on how to generate a DirectLink programmatic but so far, I couldn't get it to work. Especially because I need it to update a component via ajax. Quick overview: I parse external static html text with fake links and replace those links with the correct versions. One of them is a [Buy] button and it needs to call a listener to add the item to the database and then it refreshes the view on the page via ajax. On my normal Tapestry pages, this looks like: <component id="buy_link" type="DirectLink"> <binding name="listener" value="listener:doAddToBasket"/> <binding name="parameters" value="new java.lang.Object[] { item_id, 1, '' }"/> <binding name="updateComponents" value="{'basket_container'}"/> <binding name="async" value="true"/> </component> and this works fine. Now, on my "content" page which will read in a specific html page via a given name, I do a search/replace sweep and there, I need to do the same (the basket component is in my Border). What I have done is to have a fake_buy component similar to the one above in my content page and a property 'item_id' which is referred by fake_by. I was able to do this: setItem_id(linkParam); DirectLink fakeBuy = (DirectLink)getComponent("fake_buy"); ILink fakeBuyLink = fakeBuy.getLink(getPage().getRequestCycle()); link = fakeBuyLink.getURL(); But I am not sure if this is the right way to do it because I fear side effects.
