Hi there,It's great to have a FAQ for Tapestry. I just had a look at it and immediately found an issue I just ran into.
The second FAQ is "Why do I get a ClassCastException ..."I have a service which takes some page-classes via the contribute method. In my code, I then want to compare the current page with the saved ones. The comparison of Class a and b is done by a.equals(b). This always returns false as one class is loaded by tapestry's classloader and therefor has another java.lang.Class but the same classname.
Is there any better possibility to compare those classes than to just compare their names which is a little bit annoying because there could be two classes with the same name but which aren't equal...
Thanks a lot Alex On 18.08.2010 02:33, Howard wrote:
I'm taking some time to work on the Tapestry documentation ... starting with the FAQ. It's great fun, though this could get to be quite large. I'm just spewing out content right now, over time we'll clean it up, reorganize it, and add further hyperlinks and annotations. In fact, as I'm working on the FAQ, I'm thinking this might be the best way to document open source projects in general. User's guides and reference documents are rarely read, everyone just Google's their question, so put those questions in their most findable format. Also, it's hard to write a consistent user guide start to finish ... but more reasonable to document one tidbit at a time. Also, I'm reminded of The Little Schemer, a book that teaches the entire Scheme language (a Lisp variant) via a series of questions of ever broadening scope. Feel free to suggest additional FAQ topics on the Tapestry Users mailing list. -- Posted By Howard to Tapestry Central at 8/17/2010 05:33:00 PM
