Davor Hrg commented on TAP5-1281:
---------------------------------

the example you mentioned
       <t:loop source="dbService.products.categories" value="category">
                ${category.name}
        </t:loop> 

would look like this with the new prefix:
       <t:loop source="dbService:products.categories" value="category">
                ${category.name}
        </t:loop> 

dot would change between dbService.products to colon dbService:products
...there are other issues to overcome if you choose to try this path....

... all is fine if you are trying to push the envelope with tapestry ...
but this proposal smells to me just like bad application design...

Having everything in a single class is BAD (with capital letters).
You are gaining nothing with it, and will have a huge complicated class.



> Simplifications for lightweight Tapestry5 projects

>                 Key: TAP5-1281
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1281
>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: tapestry-core
>    Affects Versions: 5.0.15
>            Reporter: Tobias Marx
>            Priority: Minor
>
> In order to simplify Tapestry5 even further i would like to suggest the 
> following:
> - auto-creation of "empty" page and component classes if they don't exist at 
> runtime (to reduce number of lines of code, especially for small projects & 
> demos)
> - being able to reference a "global" service by default from within the 
> templates where all database queries / persistence queries can be placed
> This way, you could create quite complex web applications with only a few 
> files:
> - a layout templates
> -  x template files for all pages (instead of 2*x)
> -  y template files for all components (instead of 2*y)
> - one "global" service as an additional file that contains all 
> hibernate/persistance queries
> This would cater of all users that want to create lightweight websites with 
> only as many lines of code/files as really needed. 
> A lot of website can be implemented just by querying data  and displaying 
> them in a template (loop)
> The idea:
> - reduce the lines of code for small / medium projects
> - create even more convincing Tapestry demos (vs. RoR/PHP)
> - increase acceptance by more users checking Tapestry out for the first time
