[t5.3.7] Tapestry archtype dependencies
Why tapestry archtype project, when generated using maven and imported into Eclipse, has much more dependencies than the ones separately downloadable from tapestry's portal ?

Which libraries are being added which you consider useless? Don't forget that dependencies may have dependencies themselves, so Maven (or any other tool that handles dependencies) has to deal with that too. In Eclipse, in the POM editor, there's a dependency graph you can check. Of mvn dependency:tree in command line (I'm not sure that's the exact command). And no, Maven doesn't add its own dependencies to the generated classpath of any projects, just the one your project declares in one way or another.

Re: Contribute multiple collections in the same service?
Thank you,
In my case, MapConfig contributions can be reduced to HazelcastConfigurer
contributions (and now I see I should have used the latter from the start)
so (to avoid many refactorings) I created another service that converts
MapConfig contributions to a HazelcastConfigurer.
public class MapConfigServiceImpl implements MapConfigService
{
private final CollectionMapConfig mapConfigs;
private final Logger logger;
public MapConfigServiceImpl(CollectionMapConfig mapConfigs, Logger
logger)
{
this.mapConfigs = mapConfigs;
this.logger = logger;
}
@Override
public HazelcastConfigurer getHazelcastConfigurer()
{
return new HazelcastConfigurer()
{
@Override
public void configure(Config config)
{
for (MapConfig mapConfig : mapConfigs)
{
logger.info(Configuring map: + mapConfig.getName());
config.addMapConfig(mapConfig);
}
}
};
}
}
And in the module:
@Contribute(HazelcastConfigService.class)
public static void contributeConfigurerForMapConfigs(
MapConfigService mapConfigService,
ConfigurationHazelcastConfigurer hzConfigurers)
{
hzConfigurers.add( mapConfigService.getHazelcastConfigurer() );
}

You don't need the MapConfigService, you can use a serviceId (or a marker

// serviceId = mapConfigHazelcastConfigurer
public HazelcastConfigurer buildMapConfigHazelcastConfigurer(final
CollectionMapConfig mapConfigs) {

Re: [t5] Is it possible to return a component's generated HTML ?
I think I need to understand how it's going to work before I go any further. Here's one approach 1. The browser makes a request to the other webapp 2. The other webapp makes request(s) to the tapestry app 3. The other webapp merges it's own html with the tapestry html to create a page 4. The page is returned to the user Here's another approach 1. The browser makes a request to the other webapp 2. The other webapp returns a page with some empty divs 3. Some javascript runs on page load 4. The browser makes requests to the tapestry app 5. The tapestry app returns responses to the browser 6. Some javascript in the browser updates the innerHTML of some div's In both approaches, you are going to be fighting an uphill battle if you want to handle javascript and eventlink / actionlinks in your tapestry components. If you simply want to render html fragments, without links or javascript we might be able to help.
Re: [t5] Is it possible to return a component's generated HTML ?
The entry point is: String rawAddress = renderer.render(new RenderEvent( internal/companyblocks, companyAddress, company)); You tell here that onCompanyAddress method (or method with @Event(companyAddress)) should be invoked on the internal/companyblocks page class and if that method returns a Block - it will be rendered to a string. company - is a parameter to that method that you may use to initialize rendering context for the block. You can also not return Block from the method by just addRenderer: ajaxResponseRenderer.addRender(addressBlockZone); And the addressBlockZone will be rendered to as string in this case. Resulting string will be serialized json object, so you can inspect its structure and take the content you want like: String htmlAddress = new JSONObject(rawAddress).getString(content); On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 8:14 PM, Muhammad Gelbana m.gelb...@gmail.comwrote: Honestly, I can't figure out anything from these 2 resources !

RE: Grid Component subsequent submit causes IndexOutofBoundsException

The collection was always being populated. It still is nicely. There seems to
be some confusion on persisted form properties and ajax with regard to what the
grid is doing under the hood.

Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2013 02:43:16 -0400
If I could get some assistance I would really appreciate.
I am using Dmitry's favored strategy of connecting pages using blocks.
Some facts... I persist my form select properties to they maintain state
across submit calls. Since I removed @Persist ... thats not happening (it wuold
be nice on how to persist form properties across submit calls)
But the real stuff thats making me worried... is
0. setupRender never gets called when i initially display the block (I am not
sure what to do here)
1. when I click GO for a submit.. my collection gets populated from the
database nicely... but somehow... setupRender gets called after my submit. ???
not sure what to think at this point. because I am under the impression that
setupRender gets called once. maybe its the arrangement of blocks and pages? I
dont know.
2. after setupRender completes executing... my form finishes rendering... but
the grid is empty and the collection somehow was emptied before the grid could
get its hands on it
and this is my collection
@Persist
@Property
private Collection collection;
and this is my grid routine
public GridDataSource getSource() {
if (collection != null)
return new CollectionGridDataSource(collection);
else
return new CollectionGridDataSource(Collections.emptyList());
}
any help understasnding whats happening to my grid would be greatly appreciated.
and what i can do to supplement a solution.
thank you

Re: [t5] Is it possible to return a component's generated HTML ?
If you only need to get HTML on the client and not on the server-side, then you may just use Tapestry's built-in logic for handling AJAX requests. On the server side create eventLink: Link link = resources.createEventLink(eventType, contextValues); return link.toAbsoluteURI(); Pass this link to client side during rendering and when needed do the AJAX calls using, say, jQuery.ajax. You may handle ajax request on the server side the same way I wrote in my example above -- return block from event handler or use ajaxResponseRenderer.addRender(). On the client-side response will be the same JSON and you may extract content from it. Note that in both cases it is possible to render multiple blocks by one request -- this is if you call ajaxResponseRenderer.addRender() multiple times.
