Hello Jonathan, A page's onActivate() page can return something, for example, a org.apache.tapestry5.StreamResponse or a java.net.URL. (see https://tapestry.apache.org/page-navigation.html#PageNavigation-ComponentEventRequests&Responses for more). That way, you could have a page class that serves a static file. (I understood serving the static file by just putting it into src/main/webapp is not the way to go as you need that page class for something).
I was trying to imagine why you would not want a page to generate output. Perhaps putting that logic into an event handler is a better way to go? Cheers, Volker Am Di., 1.
