You want to do something like this instead for your divs:
<div jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" >
Then your updateComponents statement becomes
updateComponents="ognl:{page.components.foo.clientId,page.components.someOtherDiv.clientId}"

Jesse,
Thanks for your response. This feels like the problem, that the IDs on
the <div> tags are not being matched. However due to my lack of
knowledge about Tapestry's internals, I haven't been able to implement
your suggestion.
What I can't figure out is how to get the clientId out of the OGNL
expression you used (page.components.div1.clientId). I had a look at
what is in the Map that page.components returns, and I don't see
anything that looks like my components' clientIds in either the
component.getClientId() or in the set of keys of the components Map.
How do I get the clientId from a component named "div1", given that I'm
in a For loop as well? I'm confused about what the updateComponents
parameter in the DirectLink component should take instead of the IDs on
the <div>s since I can't seem to retrieve the clientIds.
Here is what I am doing now, using components with IDs to try to follow
your example:
In the .jwc file I have two components for <div>s that look like this:
<component id="div1" type="Any">
<binding name="id" value="ognl:'ratingStars' + hunch.id"/>
</component>
<component id="div2" type="Any">
<binding name="id" value="ognl:'ratingImage' + hunch.id"/>
</component>
These are used to display the <div>s in the .html file, which will be
updated by the asynchronous DirectLink.
Then in my DirectLink component:
<a jwcid="@DirectLink"
listener="listener:submitRatingAjax"
async="ognl:true"
updateComponents="ognl:{'ratingImage' +
hunch.id,'ratingStars' + hunch.id}">...</a>
If you or anyone else can help direct me to the right way to get the
clientIds for components for use within the updateComponents parameter,
that would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at the source code and
APIs but so far that hasn't cleared it up.
Cheers,
Matt
