Hi Andre, Is it just the contrib:TablePages component you want to override? That is fairly simple:
contrib:Table is an empty wrapper component for contrib:TablePages, contrib:TableColumns, contrib:TableRows and contrib:TableValues. So make your own Table component that does the same, but includes your own TablePages component. If you don't want to duplicate the backing java code for TablePages then just create the .page and .html files, and set the backing class to be the TablePages class from the contrib library. As for feature requests see the JIRA http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10573 But I don't necessarily think that the ability to override any component jibes with a component-oriented framework necessarily. Component-oriented frameworks typically emphasise customisation by encapsulation rather than extension. regards, Scott On Sat 18 March 2006 22:49, André wrote: > Hi Scott, > and thanks a lot, if that really was true, that sounded like a huge > limitation to me - only being able to override within the default > namespace.
