don't know if it's what you are looking for but you can always
override renderComponent also in BaseComponent decorating the
component template with some additional html e.g.
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.apache.tapestry.BaseComponent#renderComponent(org.apache.tapestry.IMarkupWriter,
org.apache.tapestry.IRequestCycle)
*/
public void renderComponent(IMarkupWriter writer, IRequestCycle cycle)
{
if (showComponent) {
writer.begin("div");
renderIdAttribute(writer, cycle);
writer.appendAttribute("class", getMyCSSClass());
renderInformalParameters(writer, cycle);
super.renderComponent(writer, cycle);
} else {
writer.begin("span");
renderIdAttribute(writer, cycle);
}
writer.end();
}
in this example, if the component is inheriting from BaseComponent ,
super.renderComponent(writer, cycle) , wil render the template
part of the component within
some other directly java manipulated html.
But it's not 100% clear to me what you mean with "manipulation/usage
of templates within JAVA" as in tapestry templates are "manipulated"
within java, meaning that you can change a template output quite a lot
using existing or custom components and ognl parameters binding.
