Yeah, it'd be a really nice feature. Right now I'm using velocity tools to accomplish this... and velocity has a dependency on Struts.
So I have JARs for three templating engines (Tapestry, Velocity, and Struts) in my WAR! :-) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 9:33 AM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: T5: File generation You can get a reference to the server-side (dom) document, which will contain generated markup, but I am almost certain that you can't write code like you mentioned (pass a component instance into a kind of rendered). The stream return is to make different http responses easy, including binary files (images etc), xml, plain text, etc. You _may_ be able to hack your way to what you want, but I can't imagine it would be clean and I'm sure you'd have to meddle with internal classes.
