Ok...an example In jsp
<c:forEach items="${someList}" var="myItem" varStatus="counter"> <c:if test="${!empty someVar}"> <somemarkup attr="$someVar}"/> </c:if> <someothermarkup/> <c:set var="someVar" value="${myItem.myProperty}"/> </c:forEach> So in the above example I have a variable available called "someVar" that is set to the value of the previous myItem's myProperty value. But with T5 and the var binding I get THIS iterations value. The SCOPE of the VAR binding is not wide enough for me. So is there an equivalent in Tapestry or do I have to create a component and call it like this <t:loop source="someList" value="myItem" index="counter"> <t:if test="someVar"> <somemarkup attr="${someVar.value}"/> </t:if> <someothermarkup/> <t:mypackage.set value="${myItem.myProperty}" t:id="someVar"/> </t:loop> And then have code like @Component(id="someVar") Private MySetComponentType someVar; And the MySetComponentType is just Public class MySetComponentType { @Parameter @Property Private String value; } But there just has to be a better way. Right?

It is fairly common to see and trivial in struts, jsps, > spring mvc etc, etc. You can do that in Tapestry, but you just do it in a different way. Remember that the page class properties are always available to the template. Please post a JSP example of what you're trying to accomplish so we'll can help you better. ;) -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo Independent Java consultant, developer, and instructor Consultor, desenvolvedor e instrutor em Java http://www.arsmachina.com.br/thiago --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
