Conversely, generated code is easy to modify. The assumption with components or 'reuse' in general is that you have code you can drop in and have it 'just work'. Once you go beyond the simplest cases this gets difficult. Once you're including user interface code it's damned near impossible without some hideous thing with 29384739 options. plugins + generators aren't meant for JSF style 'drop in' components, and neither are rails' components. Given that component is such a loaded term in this industry, could you describe what's the requirement you have that you're trying to solve? Perhaps there's a simpler option available? -- Cheers Koz _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
