Hi Martino... the component I need to extend from is AbstractFormWidget, as
part of the demo Jesse made.
import org.apache.tapestry.dojo.form.AbstractFormWidget;
It is not part of the BaseComponent hierarchy and does not support the
processing of templates. he uses it in AutoCompleter and datepicker dropdown
etc... examples
With regard to my mentioning usage/manipulation of templates in JAVA... well I
guess I am referring to BaseComponent and whether users have the option to do
what it does... or it all that tapestry no-touch.
>From starting ground I would like to begin from template. But I need all the
>JSON widget stuff in order to properly process onclick re-calculations and
>persisting those parameters.

Here is another case...
I can set up listener handlers easily via template.
In
JAVA, I have to become on keyboard tapestry and determine what the
proper "javascript:... ()" notation is for the rendering output... and
hope it will work? ID's ? guesswork? Sorry.... nah uh.
I am
seeing that in order to have "listener:edit" handlers then THAT is
suppose to be in a template so that it gets processed by tapestry
properly.

I am assuming I cannot render the following directly from JAVA... as it will be
output as just that text... and uninterpretted?
Can someone clarify what I can and cannot do in the JAVA with regard to
template like text? I do not know if it will be interpretted along the request
pipeline and processed.... or whether it will be spit out as-is.
<div jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
collectionType="ognl:collectionType"
tableSize="3">
<span jwcid="@RenderBody"/>
</div>

If it means anything... I am designing a Gallery.HTML here is my component
layout...
----------------------
auto-paging
----------------------
content
----------------------
auto-paging
----------------------
1. auto-paging just operates auto-paging buttons top/bottom just like
contrib:table AND both instances are anchored to the same instance
2. content is just a collection
Parameters for CONTENT:
o tableSize - overrides default getcontentBox().width layout and forces
scrollable number of rows in the Gallery equal to the tableSize
Parameters for AUTO-PAGING
o begin - pages to front of collection
o prev - pages to previous fittable amount of collection
o next - pages to next fittable amount of collection
o end - pages to end of collection
I intend to operate the persistence of the auto-paging parameters using JSON.
I'd like to retain the layout of these components using templates.
So I need JSON, Rendering overrides and listener handlers plus simplified
layouts using templates... COMBINED.
Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards

Folks... per doc text that follows...
1. Components that inherit from BaseComponent will use an HTML template.
2. Components that inherit from AbstractComponent will render output in Java
code, by implementing method renderComponent() .
I would like to build a component that operates combined semantics... or at
least option 2 supporting the manipulation/usage of templates within JAVA.
Option 1 only supports handlers not necessarily rendering + JSON.
WHY? Some component templates are lengthy and I would not like to implement all
that rendering in the JAVA as it is too cluttered/cumbersome. Plus some
components are best fit in just a template and others are better fit in JAVA...
I have a component anatomy a bit complex that requires everything and I want to
distribute the implementation efficiently across both models.
Can tapestry-4.1.2 deliver?
If I commit to model #1 then I end up missing what I need. Same if I commit to
model #2. I need both.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Best regards
