hi Howard, i have no experience in Tapestry, i just test it for replacing my company framework. i use for 6 years struts, webworks and my own framework that based on both struts and webworks.
in pages that made from JSP and JSTL , we can simply define a variable in page, this variable bind on specified scope (page, session, ...). I guess that if you define a new prefix for inline variables (on space variables) , we can easily use it in components and page templates if need. in a simple implement each page or component can have a map for holding on space variables an values. (Map<String /*variable name*/, Object /*variable values*/> ) am i right ? i don't know :( On 10/14/07, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If we made the getIndex() and getValue() methods of Loop public, then you > could: > > > <span t:id="loop" source="1..5"> > ${loop.currValue}<br/> > </span> > > But then you must define your loop in your Java class and expose it as a > property: > > @Component > private Loop _loop; > > public Loop getLoop() { return _loop; } > > > .... however that won't work currently, because those methods are not > visible.
