So I've embedded an img tag as follows: <img src="image/Get/1"/>
The url "image/Get/1" invokes page "image/Get" with an activation context of "1". The *.java onActivate handler loads the image from Hibernate. The corresponding *.tml page only has one component on it of which takes a @Parameter of type Image ... which the page successfully gives it. <t:Layout xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd";> <t:ImageStream image="value"/> </t:Layout> And hopefully, the ImageStream component attempts to render itself --- does this sound correct so far? My problem is - how does the component render binary data? IE: component render methods can take 0 or 1 argument, a MarkupWriter ... which doesn't have a binary output method. And if I try to be slick and change the render method signature to Object beginRender() I predictably get the error: "The return value from a render phase event method was not compatible the expected return type of java.lang.Boolean. You should change the method to return the correct type." So I think I'm back to the same question, "is there a way I can return binary information as part of a page or component's rendering lifecycle?" i.e.: in response to a GET. I can definitely do it onAction, onSuccess, etc since those methods can return Object ... streams, pages, etc. But what about BEFORE the user takes such action ... in the rendering cycle or as a simple response to a GET. Those render lifecycle methods seem to return boolean. Does that question make sense?
