I finally had a chance to read through the new documentation, and it is really helpful, but raised a couple of questions that, if answered, might allow me to start playing around with Tap 4.1 (if I could ever figure out how to build and use it, anyway). The new features look like a huge step forward, so I am anxious to start playing with it, so that any eventual conversion of our current projects will be smooth.
First, going back to a question I asked a week ago or so - I asked about updating a select list based on a value chosen in another list, and you suggested EventListener. I see now what your intent was. The one thing I don't understand from the documentation, however, is how I would update the other select box. I was hoping to find a parameter to the annotation which allows me to specify the set of ids to be updated, similar to an AjaxForm, but I don't see any such parameter. So if I have two select lists - select1 and select2, how do I set up an EventListener on select1.onChange (or whatever the event is actually called), update the model for select2, and cause select2 to be redrawn? I am sure it is possible, as this is exactly the kind of functionality ajax is for, but I'm not seeing it. Second, the client-side validation stuff looks very interesting, but it wasn't entirely clear how it is intended to be used. I assume that a profile is automatically generated by the various validators added to a tapestry form, so that behavour on existing forms won't change when moving to 4.1 from 4.0, except for how the validation messages manifest themselves. The form validation docs include a screenshot of Tapestry TimeTracker app built in tap 4.1. Where would I find the source for this app, or better yet, a running sample so I can check out tap 4.1 functionality without having to struggle through maven and such. Finally, while I'm sure the download documentation is sufficient for someone who knows their way around maven, would it be possible for you to provide instructions for those of us who just want to use maven to download the jar files before adding them to their old projects? I tried to deal with maven, but I couldn't get a number of things to work correctly, and I'm certainly not about to change to a new build system on my existing projects - at least not until we are under less tight schedule deadlines.
