Currently both annotations claim ownership of the field. This prevents conflicts when managing read/write access. For instance, which annotation should provide the value for the field if both a persisted value and a parameter value are available?
I would recommend breaking it into two fields. Note that if your parameter is bound to a property of the containing component then the getter for that property will still be called. Something like this, but compiled and tested which I didn't do! @Parameter private String myParameter; @Persist private String myCachedParameter; @Inject private Request request; @SetupRender void storeCachedParameterValue() { if ( !request.isXHR() ) myCachedParameter = myParameter; } private String getMyParameter() { if ( request.isXHR() ) return myCachedParameter; return myParameter; } Josh On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 3:40 PM, Paul Stanton <p...@mapshed.com.au> wrote: > Hi all, > > Does anyone know why you can't use do the following: > > @Parameter > @Persist > private String myProperty; > > ? > > I want to initialise the value for my component via a parameter and then > have it available for ajax event handlers within the component... > > if I can't do the above, what's the recommended approach? > > thanks, p. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org > >
