Thank you for pointing me to the delegate component. It's very clean
and makes sense now.
I am enjoying working with the components framework and very glad to
have picked up Tapestry.
Thanks again for the quick response.

This is the kind of think that Block's are great at; you can have a
parameter of type Block on your reusable component, and use
<t:delegate to="theBlockProperty"/> in your template to include the
Block's content at a specific point inside your component's template.
It all just fits together at runtime.

Hello,
I am relatively new to Tapestry, am using 5.1.0.5 on a project, and
hoping
someone can help point me in the right
direction. To reuse functionality for user signup to a web site, I
have
coded a custom component that contains a form that has the common
fields and
common processing including onPrepare(), onValidateForm(), and
onSuccess().
This component
has been used successfully in other pages but now I have a page
that needs
to add one textfield to the form to gather
one domain specific data in order to perform its user signup.
The intent is to handle this domain specific field and it's
processing in
the page only and rely on the component for all
common processing. I have thought of a couple of options neither
of which I
have gotten to work.
1. Somehow inject the field into the form. It looks like I can
inject the
form object that's in the component into my page.
However I don't see a method on the form object to
programmatically add a
TextField component to the form
2. Remove the form declaration and the submit button from the
component and
put it in the page instead. Then pass
the form object as a parameter to the component. But doing
this breaks
the component, its onPrepare()
is no longer called presumably because there is no form
declared in the
component.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
