Programming the backend is quite a lazy job compared to that. (Don't take this 100% serious ;-)) ).

This just for clarification. For every event caused by user action (like clicking a link, submitting a form) and for a lot of events trigered by components (like form's failure or success) that you want get handeled you use the Annotation @OnEvent. To narrow down the events you actually want to get handeled you use a) the event type (the annotation's value-attribute) and b) the event source's name (the annotation's component-attribute). You'll find those in the names of your event handler methods too, e.g. on*Selected*From*Update*. So "selected" is the event type and "update" is the event source's name. For events that are widely used around applications Tapestry provides a constants class "EventConstants". This should be your first stop. Browse the constants to get an overwiew of the several events that are triggered. A second stop would be Tapestry's component reference. You'll find a detailed explanation of which events are triggered when by each component. Each event gives you the possibility to hook in by providing a handler. And if that isn't enough, you can even trigger events of your choice yourself! Hope this was helpfull. ----- http://www.winfonet.eu -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Form-using-both-a-zone-and-no-zone-tp4635695p4639057.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
