Could someone expand (expound?) more on rendering a Tapestry 5 component *inside* a java class?
For example, I have an application I'm rewriting (from an ancient-god-help-me-C-program) in Tapestry. It's a venerable forum tool that lets users put "macros" in their posts. Each macro is rather like a Tapestry component. So as I'm rendering the page in the normal Tapestry way, I also want to parse the users's posts, and be able to evaluate (render) the macros (components) in the posts, and then spit the output, probably via outputraw(?), to the Tapestry page. So for example, a user's post might have something like: "Hey, I'm living now at %googleMap(latitude,longitude), and it's really %blink(cool)!" I want to be able to parse out the %googleMap and evaluate it (render it) as a component (that I will write), then parse out the %blink and evaluate it as another component (say, ye olde HTML blink tag)... accumulate all of the user's text plus the rendered components, and THEN spit out all of the text. Trying to do this with a (large!) collection of blocks would be tedious, and maybe even impossible. But this thread suggests that there are other ways to do it, programmatically inside the Java class for a page. Any hints or pointers are most welcome.
