Hi Tapestry friends, We've just upgraded to 5.3.2 and checked out some of the new components. The Alerts seems pretty useful, but looks like it's only possible to pass on strings.
I'm thinking a pretty common use-case would be to render some components/markup in it - like links. I experimented a little by manually rendering a block and pass that on to alertManager. Got some inspiration from this thread about rendering blocks - http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Howto-render-a-block-and-put-it-into-a-JSON-reply-td5486823.html -------- *RenderCommand renderCommand = (RenderCommand)alertBlock;* *MarkupWriter markupWriter = new MarkupWriterImpl();* *RenderQueueImpl renderQueue = new RenderQueueImpl(log);* *renderQueue.push(renderCommand);* *renderQueue.run(markupWriter);* * * *alertManager.info(markupWriter.toString());* -------- That seems to work, but it's a bit clumsy and don't know if it's the recommended approach for rendering blocks. Does a convenience method exist for rendering blocks/components? Not sure if it's possible, but how about if one could pass blocks to alerts directly. That could be pretty flexible as well... Thoughts? Cheers Magnus
