I did the same but as a component, since i use it in several pages.
The difficulty shows up when i need to use Ajax calls for a zone which is on the parent page and not on the component ...

Angelo,

Following are the very trimmed down versions of my template and page
class. It shows the delegate and blocks, and how the block to render is
determined. I didn't want to use a traditional page return for a few
reasons: 1) Displaying a simple result message doesn't really need a
full page. 2) This process will probably end up being ajax, which will
probably mean I'll need the blocks anyway (unless I use a different ajax
method).

So anyway, here it is:


Info.tml

<div xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";
    t:type="layouts/general">

    <t:delegate to="content" />

    <t:block id="infoRequest">
        <div t:type="form" t:id="infoRequest">
         <!-- ... form details ... -->
        </form>
    </t:block>

    <t:block id="messageSent">Thanks!</t:block>
</div>


Info.java

public class Info {
@Persist("flash")
    private Block content;
@Inject
    private Block messageSent;
@Inject
    private Block infoRequest;

    void onActivate() {
        if(content == null)
            content = infoRequest;
    }

    void onSuccessFromInfoRequest() {
       //Process form - update/save/create entity, send email, etc.

       //Set our content block to the messageSent block.
        content = messageSent;
    }
public Block getContent() {
        return content;
    }

}

hi cris,

sounds interesting, how about a sample code/template to let us understand
more? thanks.

Hello all,

I'm wondering how others handle a simple flow where a user fills out a
form, form is processed, and then a message is shown as a result ("ok"
or "failed"). I have a simple contact form and am handling this like so:

In my template I have 2 blocks: 1 is the form and the other is the
message (or a place holder). There is also a t:delegate that will render
the page property "content", which is just another block that will be
assigned the form or message block.

Now because I have 2 different possible "bodies" (the blocks), I have to
have some logic to make sure the correct one gets displayed. So my the
page's content property is annotated as @Persist("flash"), and at the
end of the form submission I set the content member to a message. It's
persisted, so that works. To get the initial content (the form) to
render, I check if the content property is null in onActivate, and if so
assign the form block.

It works nicely, and I was wondering how others were handling this
common use case and if something stinks about my method.

Thanks!

chris
