This came up a ways back; people were looking for more flexibility in terms
of where to store the HTML template. No feature request was ever added,
however.
Currently, Tapestry is very rigid on this; it expects the HTML template(s)
to be in the same location as the specification file (the .jwc). .jwc's are
located on the classpath, i.e., inside WEB-INF/classes.
One option for you is to create your own implementation of ITemplateSource
(subclassing DefaultTemplateSource); this is the class that is responsible
for locating and loading templates. Your subclass can look for templates
first in the WEB-INF directory (i.e., as a context asset), then on the
classpath (as the default implementation does).
If there's enough interest I can extend the framework.
One option I like is to define an asset with a special name, perhaps
"_template" or "$template$", that points to the actual template. This would
allow template to be stored in the web application context (i.e., in the
WAR, but not in WEB-INF).
If you want to store .jwc files elsewhere, it similar, except that you need
to replace the DefaultSpecificationSource.
