Thanks for all the info, good learning tool for me.

Got it. The reason why I thought it was possible is that it looks to me that my
content is already rendered at the point where I was hoping to get it, because
if at that point I inspect the block instance (Eclipse debug) I see the
instance already contains that text. I'm attaching a screenshot of the Inspect
window.

My specific case is a bit complicated, however I noted your suggestion as one
of the right ways to do that and in the future I will certainly benefit from
it, thanks.

Actually the fact that blocks are pieces of template is probably where my
misunderstanding started. I thought it was possible to put some text in a
template block so that I could just retrieve it from Java. Now I realized
that's not what blocks are for.

I think I explained myself badly. I meant that in Java I compose the block name
at runtime, so I can't have a Block field named like the template block id. In
my example above it would be like if instead of
Block block = this.componentResources.getBlock("myBlock");
there was
String var1 = "my";
String var2 = "Block";
Block block = this.componentResources.getBlock(var1 + var2);
except of course that the 2 strings are not hardcoded like that, they come from
somewhere.
This whole problem started just because I didn't go the Tapestry way since the
beginning, so now that I realized that everything is sweet :)
