Thanks for your response. Let me be more specific and try to describe my question better. New to Tapestry so bear with...
I have a textbox and a button. The user types something and clicks Go. I want to, somehow, pass the information in the textbox to a service which looks at the string and sends another one back. My thinking was to use a javascript function to do this. Is there a way to do that? Or Is there a better way to accomplish this that I haven't been exposed to yet?

Here's an example, off the top of my head (with errors, etc.), for a chart-like service: HTML: <img src="${chartURL}"/> Java: @Inject private MyChartService _chartService; @Inject private ComponentResources _resources; public Link getChartURL() { Link link = _resources.createActionLink("chart", false); // Can add query parameters to link here. return link; } // Invoked in second request: public StreamResponse onChart() { // Do something with _chartService. // Return a StreamReponse wrapper around the gif/png/jpeg bytestream from the service return ...; } Notice how we build a "chart" event request link, then the handler method, onChart(), is invoked for us. For JavaScript/Ajax; we'll generate a Link and convert it to a string, include it in a block of generated JavaScript. Check out the PageRenderSupport interface: http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/apidocs/org/apache/tapest ry/PageRenderSupport.html The StreamResponse may send back text, markup or binary that is meaningful for the client-side JavaScript. T5's Ajax support will include easy support for responding to a request by sending a JSON response used to update portions of the page.
