This is a new approach I'm taking to compose pages. I'm trying to convert an existing application to tapestry but one page turned out to be really big and hard to maintain. This page has many form fields. Some fields should always exists, and conditionally show other fields depending on a condition, let's say a "test type".
I used to do this in one page template, then conditionally showing the fields I want using the "t:if" component and a configured bean-editor inside. Then I decided to go more scalable so I decided to make a page for each "test" and inherit the page with the common fields. This will release me for the messy "t:if" "p:else" tags all over the center of the page. Now I'm facing an issue that my parent page has injected components (@InjectComponent) and when displaying the child page, it complains: Component tests/DNSTest does not contain embedded component 'gatewayField'. The "gatewayField" variable exists in the parent page as: @InjectComponent private TextField gatewayField ..and there are other fields. I tried adding @Property, and getters\setters my self, still didn't work. It only worked when I commented these fields and code referring to them. How can I resolve this ? And is this the best approach to dynamically construct a page ? Thank you all for your time :) -- *Regards,* *Muhammad Gelbana Java Developer*
