I originally put this on SO... But received no love!! I have a submit button component that I created called FoundationButton. This button is decorated with the formatting of the foundation framework (http://foundation.zurb.com/). I had it working like a charm. Then when I made my component extend the built in Tapestry Submit component, it lost all its decorations! Below is my class:
public class FoundationButton extends Submit { @Parameter(name = "value", required = true, allowNull = false,defaultPrefix="literal") private String show; private Element buttonElement; @Environmental buttonElement = writer private Heartbeat heartbeat; void beginRender(MarkupWriter writer) {.element("input", "class", "nice small radius blue button"); Runnable() { public void run final String showTime= this.show; Runnable command = new () { buttonElement.attributes("type", "submit"); }; heartbeat.defer(command); } void afterR buttonElement.attributes("value",showTime); } ender(MarkupWriter writer) { writer.end(); } } Pretty sure beginRender doesn't get called anymore!
