Re: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
I also have an interest in this. I would like a way of pre-rendering a Block on the server (as if it was rendered by an Ajax request handler), storing the rendered block as a JS variable in the page HTML and then injecting it into the DOM client side when it suits me. I don't want to have to make a new trip to the server to fetch the block via Ajax this is just a means of allowing a developer of parameterising his use of my overlay component. As far as I can tell this requires two things: 1) a way of invoking the Ajax renderer programmatically on the server. 2) a way of invoking the Tapestry.init() function on the client with the pre-generated response which is stored in a javascript variable as an argument (similar to the updateFromUrl() function but with a client side variable instead). This will ensure that the content gets loaded into the client properly. Steve On 17 Jun 2009, at 21:42, Renger Wilde busanalys...@yahoo.com wrote: On my client, I have a tabview.

Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
Hi, First we used eclipse too, but ran in far too many problems with maven. Today we use NetBeans, which seems to do most of the things that we expect it to. At first there was _really_ much resistance to start using NetBeans which was seen as toy and not as an IDE for professional developer, but in my opinion if you want an environment that _just_ works, use NetBeans. (Especially if your developers aren't that familiar with Eclipse.) Maven also caused a lot of trouble for us at the beginning. Some devs didn't have any problems, some had more. The more resistance the dev had, the more problems he/she also had... Anyway, today when new developer starts (s)he installs maven, svn tortoise, netbeans and downloads the project and then starts the app with mvn jetty:run - dev is ready to start coding. This process usually takes about 45 minutes, depending how long the machine downloads stuff and installs java/netbeans. The start of new project does not take any longer than T4 project, but I must admit that there is some learning curve when you come from T4 or some other environments, after all, this is new and different system. However, it is not black magic, and if you have experience with systems it shouldn't be that hard. The documentation is lacking, and is the next thing to be fixed (As Howard has mentioned.). Also T5 should be as new-user-friendly as possible, which clearly could be improved? - Ville Norman Franke-2 wrote: I've been using T4/4.1 for several years and have been quite pleased with it.

To get started in T5 for a fresh new app, my first thought was to follow the tutorial at http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.1/ tutorial1/. Chapter 2 just plain didn't work for me. I think part of it is due to Maven generally being extremely fragile and working less than half of the time. However, even after working around that, you can't just import the project into Eclipse. At least not under Eclipse 3.4.2. No problem, I thought. Maven is annoying anyway. I'll just create a Dynamic Web project (like I do for T4.1) and download the T5.1 binary distribution. That's even worse. It comes with no README listing dependencies or anything useful, and includes tons of libraries that don't appear to be even needed. Tapestry failed to start up during initialization. Why have a binary distro that doesn't work? Back to Maven. After some googling, I found this article: http://tapestry.formos.com/wiki/display/T5IDEINT/Eclipse+(including+Maven) Shouldn't this be included in the tutorial? Sadly, the tutorial is extremely basic, but at least it works. (And is the only way I've found to actually create a new project in Eclipse to date.) Next, I tried Tapestry Jumpstart. After hours of configuration and random errors (using Tomcat), it worked. However, it's so fragile and klugy that I just can't see using it in production. I don't care about OpenEJB. I want just plain T5.1 and Hibernate. Plus running in a remote tomcat sessions eliminates many of the developer productivity benefits of T5 in the first place. One thing I liked about T4 was that I could deploy a WAR to a stock Tomcat install, and it would just work. That won't happen with Jumpstart. Plus. it if takes 3 hours to just get a working developer environment, why even bother? Next up, AppFuse. It's only T4, but there is a Tapestry 5 add-on. Sadly, AppFuse's T4 support is now broken due to a dependancy on tapestry-flash that appears to be missing and following the instructions on the AppFuse Tapestry 5 page doesn't work anymore either, resulting in tons of missing resources. So, since T5 doesn't appear to provide much in the way of authentication / security (a very basic requirement for almost all webapps), I started down the tapestry5-acegi approach. Of course, that doesn't work with T5.1. I managed to get it working and then upgraded to tapestry-spring-security 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT. Still didn't work without augmentation.

Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
Hi Joel, I understand your argument with Maven, most people at some point have 'felt the pain' but with or without maven the devil is in the details, getting started is not that hard really, but customizing Tapestry to your environment is very often the root cause or configuration constipation, a problem which extends from the world of Java where there are so many resources, libraries and tools that it can often be a pain to integrate and use all of them efficiently. Its widely acknowledged that Java has inherent flaws in versioning and dependancy management (if only I had a penny for every post I have seen relating back to classpath, and library versioning issues), and thats the problem Maven tries to solve. In a small operation you can get away with doing dependency management manually, but not for enterprise applications or any development of scale. regards, Peter - Original Message - From: Joel Halbert j...@su3analytics.com To: users@tapestry.apache.org Sent: Thursday, 18 June, 2009 11:37:34 GMT +02:00 Athens, Beirut, Bucharest, Istanbul Subject: Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?

Re: [T5.1] Locale - possible to revert to cookies?
Alright, for anyone who may need this, I did the following to re-enable the cookie-based locale in Tapestry 5.1.0.5: - provided a separate implementation of PersistentLocale service, copying Tapestry 5.0.18 code, since this interface hasn't changed - provided a separate implementation of LocalizationSetter service, but this interface has changed in 5.1, but I only needed to edit one of the methods in the original 5.1.0.5 code of the LocalizationSetterImpl (namely the setLocaleFromLocaleName method) - did the binding of the 2 services in my AppModule, and contributed alias to ensure that Tapestry picks up my implementations rather than the built-in ones using Automatic Dependency Resolution - turned off SymbolConstants.ENCODE_LOCALE_INTO_PATH setting in contributeApplicationDefaults - this will ensure that tapestry-generated URLs will not have the locale part embedded If anyone needs more detailed instructions on this, I can create a how-to. Rado immutability wrote: The new URL-based language switching is also causing issues with the way Tapestry-Acegi handles the redirect to the login page once a session expires. If a user switches to another language, let's say, Spanish, they'll end up on a page with es locale code embedded in the URL, e.g. /es/some/page. But if their session expires, Acegi will redirect them to the login page, ignoring the locale component of the URL, e.g. /index, and thus their language preference is lost. I guess it's not possible to revert to cookies easily in T5.1 now? Anyone has a workaround for the Tapestry-Acegi issue?

RE: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
Hi Steve, I wrote an overlay component using JQuery which does just
that... in fact you can choose whether the block is rendered initially
or as a result of an AJAX request if you want to delay the evaluation of
what is in the overlay.
You don't need any JSON magic, you just render the block from the
component in a hidden div and expose it from Javascript in your event
handler.
Most of the work for my component was supporting both modes, but it goes
something like the below. If you omit the body parameter, you must
provide an event handler in your page which returns the block to render
on the AJAX call.
IMHO it's pretty elegant... and shows how easy it is to do clever
AJAX/rendering tricks in T5. I can't imagine a framework making it much
easier than this ;-)
Reading the original post am not sure this answers it, but does meet
your objective I think.
Hope it helps,
Alfie.

Subject: Re: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
I also have an interest in this.
I would like a way of pre-rendering a Block on the server (as if it
was rendered by an Ajax request handler), storing the rendered block
as a JS variable in the page HTML and then injecting it into the DOM
client side when it suits me. I don't want to have to make a new trip
to the server to fetch the block via Ajax this is just a means of
allowing a developer of parameterising his use of my overlay component.
As far as I can tell this requires two things:
1) a way of invoking the Ajax renderer programmatically on the server.
2) a way of invoking the Tapestry.init() function on the client with
the pre-generated response which is stored in a javascript variable as
an argument (similar to the updateFromUrl() function but with a client
side variable instead). This will ensure that the content gets loaded
into the client properly.

Re: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
DH-14: Yes, I ended up using a block. For those like me that don't know what a block is, it's an XML-tagged section of your template, demarcated via block id=yourIdentifierHere/block tags. The block can be injected into page or component code using the @Inject annotation as an object of type Block, with a variable name in the form of _yourIdentifierHere. The variable name must match the ID used in the block tag - except for the leading underscore, which is stripped by Tapestry. This Block object can be returned from the event handler, and is rendered prior to being sent back, in JSON form, as the reply to the AJAX request. Surely some of you will ask Why was that not obvious at the outset, Renger?. I can only say that it took me some several re-readings of the documentation to identify the Block method as a potential solution, and a few more to figure out how it worked. There is, to my knowledge, no section of the documentation that sets out what Blocks are, how they work, and what use-cases they pertain to, with the exception of this excerpt from the AJAX section of the Tapestry reference: For an Ajax request, the return value from an event handler method is processed differently than for a traditional action request. In an normal request, the return value is the normally name of a page (to redirect to), or the Class of a page to redirect to, or an instance of a page to redirect to. For an Ajax request, a redirect is not sent: any response is rendered as part of the same request and sent back immediately. The possible return values are: * A Block or Component to render as the response. The response will be a JSON hash, with a content key whose value is the rendered markup. This is the basis for updates with the Zone component. * A JSONObject or JSONArray, which will be sent as the response. * A StreamResponse, which will be sent as the response. I say that merely to justify the bandwidth I took up to ask my question. I remain very appreciative of HLS' work, and I thank the responders for their attention. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-render-a-page-as-JSON-formatted-AJAX-response--tp24081692p24091906.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

So, since T5 doesn't appear to provide much in the way of authentication / security (a very basic requirement for almost all webapps), I started down the tapestry5-acegi approach. Of course, that doesn't work with T5.1. I managed to get it working and then upgraded to tapestry-spring-security 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT. Still didn't work without augmentation.

Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
Maven by itself is not that big of a deal. Almost any system using declarative builds and dependency management would have worked to improve Java builds.I've felt frustrated by Maven too. I've frequently complained about the quality of some of the plugins... but... In the shop I work in, historically every developer was a project manager, developer, and 'salesman'. This led to many projects, most using Ant to build. Each Ant build would perform fundamentally similar builds, but each project's build code was different. You couldn't efficiently work on another developers project without reading the Ant build first, and you certainly couldn't expect any certain goals to be defined. This boils down to a lack of developer discipline, which is what the Maven lifecycles enforce. Moving to maven made our builds consistent. It took a bunch of rogue coders and forced them to produce predictable builds; a HUGE improvement. That said, this isn't a consulting shop that creates stand alone applications. We must maintain anything we create, so creation efficiency is less of a priority than long term maintainability. If I were a consultant and a customer said 'screw the long term' I would whip off an Ant build. It can be faster to create. It also may secure my status as the sole consultant, if I make my build really wacky ;-D The real benefit of creating regular builds is that it gives you the ability to use continuous integration and artifact management. If you haven't set up all the infrastructure and tried it, it may seem unneeded. For our shop, it has improved things greatly. In the past, there had been several occasions where a developer left the company without checking in source code that was in production. The developer's code worked for long enough for their machine to be reformatted and given to someone else, then a bug surfaced. Oops... lost source code, with no developer. Using a continuous integration server with scheduled and automated deployments prevents any project from going live without being in source control. Problem gone. I do understand that not everyone has these sorts of problems. For those that do, maven/continuum/archiva are great.

@AfterRender in AJAX requests
Hi! I'm trying to execute some Javascript code to hook up some events to some TextFields in a page. Thus, I need their clientIds. When in an AJAX request, the TextFields are rendered again with other clientIds, so I need to generate the Javascript event hooking again.I created a method annotated with @AfterRender and use RenderSupport to generate the event hooking code.

Where did all the components come from?
An utter Tapestry newbie here, although I was at some recent training Howard gave. My question is, Given a page composed of components, is there an easy, visual way to analyze the structure in terms of custom components *from the browser *?. The problem I'm trying to address is the most efficient way to bring someone new (me, in this case G) up to speed on a project. A person can use some of the browser tools to examine the HTML, but that doesn't relate very well back to the raw files (components) they came from. I hacked together a script that inserts an img tag in all my local copies of the .tml files, with a title attribute of the file path that .tml came from. Now, when I'm viewing prior art I can hover over the icons I've inserted and see the full file path that the .tml came from. This allows me to figure out that component X contains component Y which in turn contains component Z in a *visual* way, which makes it *much* easier to understand the relationships between components, as well as know what the visual result of using a component is. Of course there's no way I'd consider checking this in, it's strictly for local usage. This is more proof-of-concept, but even in this crude form I'm finding it very helpful. Now when presented with another page to implement, I have a better chance of saying Look, page X does something similar, and uses components Y and Z. I wonder if those components are a good place to start?. Of course, this messes with the formatting of the page, things move around, etc, but that's not important for me now. My question for the list is Is anything similar already built into Tapestry but I just haven't found it yet?. Or are there any best practices others have used? Best Erick
Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
It does work, after some fiddling. On the wiki there were some good notes on getting control-space completion to work with Tapestry using the JSP editor. I was also quite used to working with WTP, but I did get it working. Follow this: http://tapestry.formos.com/wiki/display/T5IDEINT/Eclipse+(including+Maven) Then: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5JSPEditorEclipse (Which needs to be updated for the 5.1 XTD, btw.)

(Thanks to maven for not updating the packages when I switched to the snapshot, too. I had to delete the nu directory in my ~/.m2 directory. One more reason Maven blows. It just doesn't do what you want.) I'd love to see more people use Tapestry, but after attempting a new project, I'd feel embarrassed asking people to give Tapestry a look at this point. Heck, I'm thinking maybe sticking with T4.1 is the way to go, despite all the benefits of T5. But, I really do want to start in on T5 since I've loved using T4 for the last few years, and it does seem to be a step forward. I think its common to want to just get something working in order to get a feel for the framework. Doing so

Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
This is a funny thread. Maybe it'd be better to spend all this energy in learning the tools rather than complaining. Whatever the tool is, understand that the dependencies are yours to manage. The truth is that today's applications written in Java are so complex and comprised of so many little libraries that maintaining it all manually is painstakingly slow and error-prone. I take automatic transitive dependency management any day even though it sometimes means I need to resort to long list of excludes and at times explicitly *decide* and declare which version of a particular library I actually want to use in my application in case of conflicts. In return, I get an environment that is easy to maintain by myself only and other people in my group don't have to go through the same trouble of setting everything up one library at a time. My designers are happily running mvn jetty:run and editing the templates on-the-fly with their little Dreamweavers, BlueFishes and Notepads or whatever the heck they want to use without ever having to know that such a thing as compilation or dependency resolution is happening all automatically for them.

I'm focusing on documentation for the moment, so code enhancements are going to be deferred. Tapestry 3 had the Inspector a way of digging down through the structure of the page. I've floated the idea of a special development-mode-only query parameter that would display the structure of the page rather then render it normally. Another option was another query parameter to enable comments that would trace what components were responsible (i.e., a comment at the start and end of each component's render).

Re: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
Of course this cannot work for frameworks like Tapestry, since they are bound to license-restrictions regarding distribution. Tapestry's license is Apache version 2, so I don't think there's any problem regarding its distribution. I know, I actually meant the other way around :o) I don't have a problem, but Tapesty may get into trouble if it included everything in the SVN repository like I said, since 3rd party libraries might place more restrictions on redistribution (GPL license for example). Then again IANAL. regards, Onno
RE: [Tapestry Central] Why chose Tapestry?
Well we develop T5 in Eclipse as a Dynamic Web Project using ANT and IVY for builds and dependencies. (+SVN for version control) There was a fair amount of work to set it up along with the CI server etc, but it works pretty well for us and everything was new to us. Anyway it is definitely possible. We considered Maven briefly, but a combination of nightmare stories (2 on Howard's blog itself), completely confusing documentation, Howard's intent to move T5 away from Maven (what happened to that plan over the last year or so?) and impending deadline for project start meant that we dumped Maven for a simpler system. Was that the correct decision? I don't know - Ivy took a while to figure out but generally does what it's told and only that and the rest is done using Ant scripts. It may have been a bit more work, but at least we understand how it works inside out. We do have to get dependencies from public Maven repositories (which can be problematic) - we only do this once and put it into a company-wide shared Ivy repository.

Re: Where did all the components come from?
By the way Smalltalk Seaside framework has a special mode called Halos, when this mode is enabled all the components have an enclosed div with a toolbar, and you can inspect his state and the html that this component is generating, would be great to have something like that in tapestry :) here is the link http://www.seaside.st/about/examples/halos César. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

I really love this feature. Not only inspect the state and html - you are able to change the code on the fly! Seaside is so beautiful in so many ways, but most of that is because of the very dynamic nature of smalltalk. From a productivity point of view this can hardly be beaten by any other web framework I have seen so far. It's plain fun to work with. That said - we all have hard times to explain to people why we want to use tapestry instead of JSF or Struts...

T5 + Hibernate + Hibernate Tools
We have an existing database schema that's rather large. I've used Hibernate Tools to generate the .java entity files, complete with @Entity annotations so Hibernate picks them up automatically. That works very well. Next, I want to use BeanEditForm to edit the tables. I can't really add @Id, @NonVisual, or @Validate to the classes, since they'll be overwritten every time I re-generate the classes when I add or modify a table. What's the best way to do this? Is there some way to do this in a .properties file? Some fancy dynamic class augmentation scheme? I have over 100 tables, so something with minimal maintenance would be best.

Re: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
Hi Alfie
It looks like we are doing very similar things. I have chosen to implement
Tapestry versions on the YUi components to I am creating ca component which
will drop out a YUI overlay.
I have done exactly the same as you in that my component accepts a block as
a parameter with the intention of using the block as the overlay body.
Working within the restrictions of the YUI Overlay API I have two options
for rendering.
a) Use Tapestry to render the block into a hidden div in the HTML ()
equivalent to your and then pass the contents of the DIV to YUI at the
appropriate time for rendering as an overlay.
b)

Hi Steve, I wrote an overlay component using JQuery which does just
that... in fact you can choose whether the block is rendered initially

You don't need any JSON magic, you just render the block from the
component in a hidden div and expose it from Javascript in your event
handler.
Most of the work for my component was supporting both modes, but it goes
something like the below. If you omit the body parameter, you must
provide an event handler in your page which returns the block to render
on the AJAX call.
IMHO it's pretty elegant... and shows how easy it is to do clever
AJAX/rendering tricks in T5. I can't imagine a framework making it much
easier than this ;-)
Reading the original post am not sure this answers it, but does meet
your objective I think.

Re: Page event after activation?
Each class can have as many onActivate() methods as you want. But I would
have a single onActivate(EventContext context) method and let the
subclasses override it. Or define a method like process(EventContext
context) and call it from a final onActivate(EventContext) method.
If I overwrite the onActivate() method and put my code there, this code that
needs to be executed on every page gets overwritten as well (and I have to
duplicate it on every page).
One solution would be to create an initialize() method that needs to be called
by every page at the end of their onActivate(). But I hoped for a cleaner
solution :-)
Example:
I hoped for an automatic way to call the initialize() method. In onActivate it
doesnt make sense because maybe MyPage2 wont use the username as activation
context but something else. And if any page overwrites the activation context
I am getting problems as well.
BasePage.java:
-
abstract class BasePage() {
@Property private String statusmessage;
initialize() {
this.statusmessage = getUser().getStatusMessage();
}
abstract User getUser();
}
}
--
class MyPage() extends BasePage {
private User user;

user = repository.findByUsername(username);
}
User getUser() {

Re: How to render a page as JSON-formatted AJAX response?
Oops, please ignore previous email...premature post. Hi Alfie Awesome to hear from you, thanks for your reply. In case you are busy, the short response is, you are on the right track about what I am looking for but I need to go one step further. If you have a few spare minutes and are curious then read on, I am pretty sure you will have some ideas to offer. It looks like we are doing very similar things although I have chosen to implement Tapestry versions of certain YUI components (instead of JQuery). Liek you I am creating a component which will drop out a YUI overlay. - (Please don't be tempted to stray into the JS library choice conversation just yet) I have done exactly the same as you in that my component accepts a block as a parameter with the intention of using the block as the overlay body. I have also added a second option and that is to provide a Link as a parameter instead. The link is used to fetch the contents of the overlay via AJAx when the overlay is shown. Working with these parameters and with the YUI Overlay object I have two options for rendering. a) Use Tapestry to render the block into a hidden div in the HTML (equivalent to your body is supplied mode). When the overlay is shown, pass the contents of the DIV to YUI which puts it into the overlay contents. This works well for simple content but is not able to support tapestry components which require the Tapestry.init() function to run on them such as a zone update(discussed later). b) Alternatively the component will fetch the block of the Overlay via Tapestry AJAX using the link provided as a parameter. It does the fetch after the overlay is shown. I have custom code which creates a zone on the fly and gets the ZoneManager to update it. A temporary loading image is shown while it loads. This method can support any sort of content as the Tapestry ZoneManager invokes the init() for any new content just fetched from the server. This method requires a trip to the server to render the overlay :( Neither of these solutions is ideal and both of them are in fact workarounds for the main issue, which is the following: When YUI creates an overlay, it recreates the overlay DOM elements from scratch in a place of its own choosing in the document (at the very top I think). In order to establish Tapestry onclick(and other) behaviours for all the content of the overlay you need to run the Tapestry init() function for that new portion of the DOM. The only way that I can see that this is possible in the version of Tapestry I have (5.0.18) is to hook into the Tapestry.js partial page rendering functions (Zonemanager). These call the init() function appropriately once they have fetched the response from the server. They appear to use metadata coded into the AJAX response (in JSON format I think) in order to know what to do with the content in the response. Ideally, what I would like to do is render the block passed in to my component as a complete Tapestry Ajax response but in string form I will then embed this in my page (probably as a js var) so that I can pass them into the Tapestry.js partial page rendering functions when the overlay is shown. From there on Tapestry.js will behave as if the content had just come from the server. My Show overlay sequence will look as follows: 1) Block is passed in to component. 2) Component renders block in correct format (lets call it AJAX Response Format) and stores it as a text string in the rendered page (probably by using renderSupport.addScript(). 3) User page is rendered and then they click the button to open the dialog 4) Dialog is rendered and a new Zone is created on the fly 4) AJAX Response Format text string (declared as a variable in the document) is passed into the ZoneManager and tapestry updates the new Zone with the content from the block. Hey presto, perfectly initialised Tapestry overlay all done client side with no trip to the server. I have found the AjaxPartialResponseRenderer in the Tapestry codebase and I had hoped that this would help me but for the life of me I cannot work out how or when to call it or even where it fits in to the Tapestry request pipeline. Frankly I just don't know enough about Tapestry. If you or anyone has any ideas on how I can achieve this I would appreciate it. Despite my earlier comments, I will entertain feedback about different Javascript libraries and I am more than happy to accept ideas out of the left field.

Hi, Thiago Not sure about how special your case is, but I can confirm that @AfterRender is invoked in my ajax request. Maybe share more about the code and let us help you kind man.

I'm trying to execute some Javascript code to hook up some events to some TextFields in a page. Thus, I need their clientIds. When in an AJAX request, the TextFields are rendered again with other clientIds, so I need to generate the Javascript event hooking again.I created a method annotated with @AfterRender and use RenderSupport to generate the event hooking code. In a full page request, my method is called and everything is fine. But, in an AJAX request, my @AfterRender method is not invoked and my @BeginRender is invoked (it returns void). I cannot use @BeginRender in this case because the fields client ids are only defined during rendering. What am I missing? -- Thiago - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
Re: [Announce] Tapestry Testify project
definately a good addition, I tested only services now, I gave up the PageTester, it's not practical to use it, and yet to learn that Integrated test, I have been looking for a way to test pages and components, will give your Testify, hope it will not be like PageTester:) Paul Field-3 wrote: I'd like to announce that the Tapestry Testify project is now available as a Snapshot release at Tapestry 360: https://tapestry.formos.com/nightly/tapestry-testify/ Tapestry Testify is an extension to Tapestry that allows you to write page and component tests very easily and have them run very efficiently. ** Features ** Integration with JUnit3 , JUnit4 and TestNG Per-test scope - define services that are re-created for each test Inject services into tests with the @Inject annotation Inject objects from the test into components with the @ForComponent annotation Very efficient - allows a single PageTester to be used by all tests Fedback is very welcome! - Paul --- Paul Field http://creakingcogs.blogspot.com/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-Announce--Tapestry-Testify-project-tp24102834p24105144.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
Loop elements in forms, onvalidate called multiple times?
I am building a form with variable number of rolls by using a loop. The problem is that upon submit, it appears that onValidate is called n times, where n is the number of rows. The loop pulls its values from, and writes into list of n elements. Am I doing something wrong?
