Hi All,
I read somewhere asp.net web forms are similar to tapestry and so today I
was exploring asp.net.
I see that asp.net allows you to attach a server side listener to a
textfield for eg for 'on change event' on the client side. Does tapestry
allow this? I mean can i configure a listener on a textfield?. I see that
asp.net web forms stores the inital state of the components while rendering
in a hidden field in rendered HTML. So when the user submits, it reads the
value that existed while rendering and compares it with the current value
during submit and based on that decides if the listener needs to be invoked.
It seems to be creating the page instance (as opposed to tapestry page
pooling) everytime the rendering / submit happens.
I also looked at @Persist("client") and i feel that this feature c'd help in
emulating a similar behaviour in tapestry?
I'm a tapestry beginner. So please bear with me if this post does'nt make
sense ( do correct me though :))
thanks,
karthik
