Thanks Chris. The intent of this question was to get a start toward streaming
"pure content" - not just text, but also (and especially PDF), XML, imagery -
whatever - anything except HTML. My solution finally was to mimic a previously
coded button press on an HTML page. Why? Because that is where I get all the
session variables set (search, query etc) to properly construct the PDF
content. Then I hid the button and launched the "pure content" page as a
pagelink, instead, as follows:
<t:pagelink page="pdf/Index" target="_blank">PDF</t:pagelink>
Rather convoluted, but gets the job done....and, yes, hardly a simpler hello
world now...(this workaround would be more useful to say "Hello Chris" -
after, say, selecting from an HTML list of users)

I had to do this today and this thread caught my eye last month.
In the standard tapestry 5.3.7 archetype, my Contact.java looks like this.
package org.example.pages;
import org.apache.tapestry5.StreamResponse;
import org.apache.tapestry5.util.TextStreamResponse;
public class Contact {
StreamResponse onActivate(){
return new TextStreamResponse("text/plain","some plain old text -
no .tml file, no nothing. plain old text - yay!");
}
}
I wouldn't describe it as a simpler hello world at all because you're
making tapestry end it's goodness prematurely. Like learning how to write
a program and the first statement in main() you learn is exit(1);
