Re: Extending existing component and .page file
Thanks. Yes, I'm trying to customize Contrib's TablePages component. I just need a different look and feel at the template level and I could get it to work by copying the TablePages.jwc contents. It will be nice to have this patch. It will be really nice if we could have an extra parameter along the lines of inherit="" or something of that sort in the .page that automatically takes care of this issue. thanks, Karthik On 1/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You'll - either have to use annotations if you're on Java 5.

Re: Extending existing component and .page file
What are you looking to do? What version of Tapestry are you using? If you're looking to automatically inject a HiveMind service into all of your pages/components, you can either use tapestry-autowire (tap 4.0) or upgrade to tap 4.1 which has tapestry-autowire built in. Using tapestry-autowire, it's as simple as declaring an abstract getter of the same type as one of your services in your HM registry (provided there is exactly one service point which supports that service interface): public abstract MyService getMyService(); You can declare that in your MyAbstractPage class (or whatever you want to call it) and all subclasses will inherit the property and it'll be injected automatically. Hope that helps.

Extending existing component and .page file
class X extends Y{} If component X extends an existing component Y by providing a new template X.html and adding additional property in X.jwc, are we required to copy the contents of Y.jwc into X.jwc? If I dont include it, i run into errors. May be am missing some parameter here. How can i get a .page to extend from another base .page? Also , if Class X is empty do I need to create one in the first place ( am fine with Y)? I just need .page inheritance in addition to Java component inheritance. thanks, Karthik
