I haven't tried to solve your situation as I'm not sure I understand your case but here is my attempt to give back to this list something in return :)
Q1. onActivate is "eventually" called because the page link directed to that page, it's not the direct result of clicking that link (event handling method), it's just the eventual result. Q2. This page will help you http://tapestry.apache.org/page-navigation.html. May be you need to have a "actionlink" instead, and handle it, then return what suits you most. Tell me if this helps :) On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 5:25 PM, lifestyles_ <lifestyl...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, i'm trying to implement a situation where as, i have a PageA, PageB and > PageC.
