Can anyone give me any pointers? All I need is to be able to enable/disable a busy busy message based on what else is happening in my page. This is such an obvious use case, I can't believe I'm the only one doing it. And every time I look at the Tapestry docs I get nowhere. I don't understand how the lifecycle or render cycle of this message can mesh with Tapestry's render cycle.
