FlexDate.tml: <div class="flexDateEditor" xmlns:t=" http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <t:dateField value="date1" clientId="prop:clientId"/> </div> FlexDate.java: @Parameter(defaultPrefix = TapestryConstants.LITERAL_BINDING_PREFIX) @Property // so I don't have to write out the getters/setters ;> private String _clientId; AppPropertyEditBlocks.tml (snippet): <t:block t:id="flexDate"> <t:label for="flexDateEditor" /> <t:flexDateEditor t:id="flexDateEditor" clientId="prop:context.propertyId" /> </t:block> AppPropertyEditBlocks.java: @Environment @Property private PropertyEditContext _context; On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 6:42 PM, Bill Holloway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a custom data type called FlexDate, and I've made a simple > <t:flexdateeditor> component for it which (for now) just holds a date > field.
