It's been a while since I played around with tapestry, but I came to a
point where I wanted components to be dynamically generated.
Take this as example: You create a email-frontend, and want to display
the possible folders in a tree structure. The folder structure is a
priori different for each user, i.e. it is dynamic.
It is evident, that those folders are represented by a DirectLink, which
displays the respective messages.
I am sure that there is a possibility to do this today (I got it running
somehow, but don't ask me how). But the Tapestry spirit tells me, that
there should be a component (the tree structure), which manages to
generate the DirectLinks on the fly.
Does this make sense?
Cheers

Can you be more specific about how you want to "instantiating components directly". I am
just trying to understand the definition. Do you want to "draw" a page on the fly?
Taking components and re-arranging them on the page or on a new page? Or creating components that
don't exist at the start of the server but they do later?
thanks,
Mark

Subject: Re: instantiating components directly
This issue about dynamic component generation should be considered
seriously for the next major release, because is very necessary and
asked by the community, after all, if almost all are components it
should be possible (if ASP.NET and others can, why not tapestry?).
I'm newbie with T4, and that T4 cannot do it has been very annoying and
for some cases (specially when navigation is defined by state) I have to
choose the less simpler path, and the most simple is one of the claimed
policies in Tapestry, of course T4 isn`t a web panacea, but this is a
really community need.
Thanks.
