hi thomas, tapestry 5 follows the "static structure, dynamic behaviour" philoshophy. essentially this means that you cant use a component that is not declared anywhere. in your case i'd create a block with the component inside and display this block if necessary.
please see the mailing list for more on "static structure, dynamic behaviour" there. you can take a look at the BeanEditor that dynamically creates a input field for every field in a POJO. From the outside it appears as if the components are configured dynamically but under the covers it is reassembling existing blocks as needed (type, ...) g, kris Von: Thomas Cucchietti <thomas.cucchie...@gmail.com> An: Tapestry users <users@tapestry.apache.org> Datum: 11.05.2010 14:05 Betreff: [T5]Inject a component not used in a page Hi everybody! I'm getting a silly problem while trying to get a component from the componentSource. For dynamic layout purposes, i'm trying to recover a component that is not used in any page but it seems impossible as the getComponent method of the componentSource requires a completeId in which a page is required. is there another way to get this component than creating a page that will be never be displayed? Thanks in advance! Thomas.
