The question I have is on what could you mean by "generate files".
If you can just have an job to hit a particular url, then you can use tapestry to generate that url.
If you want tapestry to programmatically generate a page, that is conceptually possible, and I think I saw some code floating around, but I've not done it, and it's not generally used.
You can also have a component capture the output of it's rendering and have it do whatever it wants with that. For example, I have a Buffer component that caches the output and puts it in memcached. You could have a component that dumps its output to a file (but it would still require an outside process to hit a url to generate the page to have the component generate itself)..
Have I confused you enough yet? Joel Wiegman wrote:
Hello all, Our application has the need to generate files. I'm interested in trying to use Tapestry to do this since we're already using T5 on the presentation layer. Has anyone extracted the Tapestry templating engine to do other processing? Something like the pseudo-code below: // BEGIN @Inject ComponentRenderer cr; MyComponent component = new MyComponent(); component.setName("Test"); OutputStream os = cr.render(component); // END Can anyone point me to the right package/class to look at for something like this?
