Darn you're right, I've never even thought of that. finishLoad(), which I'm overriding to add the new implicit component, is called only once before the page gets cached. So basically, my dynamic component is only dynamic the first time template loads.
The reason I chose this method is that if you do it (that is, attach a component via addComponent()) at render time, say in pageBeginRender(), it hits AbstractComponent.checkActiveLock() sentinel and throws a "Component Home is active and its configuration state may not be changed", which is quite reasonable. I guess I'm still on the lookout for an option to delegate rendering to a component with a template. There must be a way of instantiating those just as simple as pages (i.e. with IRequestCycle.getPage(...)). Btw, DynamicBlock you mentioned, is this it: http://www.behindthesite.com/blog/C1931765677/E1630021481/? Does it work for 4.1 - seems a little old, September 2, 2004. Thanks, -P ---------------------------------------------- I don't know enough about tapestry internals to say if this is a good idea, but I've played around with DynamicBlock and your solution looks a lot simpler. At a guess, it looks like your approach is setting up your dynamic component when tapestry is loading the page template. If it's part of tapestry template cache, that means it would only pick the dynamic content the first time the page is loaded and reuse the same component on every subsequent call to the page - unless you're running in dev mode with page caching disabled. But as I said, that's a guess. If I'm wrong, I want to know how well does it handle things like RenderBody and passing parameters to your component? If it handles those concerns well, I'm tempted to wrap it up into a generic DynamicComponent. If I'm right, it probably jives with Howard's vision of static structure/dynamic behavior, but may not function in the way you intended. -Steve _______________________________________________________ Yahoo!
