I've been trying to get my dev environment setup to help out with doc
bugs. I'm almost there, but I've had to actually modify some Tapestry
code to get it to build against hivemind-1.1-b2 (is this not what we
are building against?).

I can't promise you a date; I think the code is largely stable and
very powerful (and fun) to develop with. There's a lot of minor nits
and bugs that are getting fixed. There's a LOT of missing
documentation that doesn't seem to be anyone's priority. I've been
trying to delegate out all the work that doesn't absolutely have to be
done by me.

Howard,
Great, how close is Tap 4 to being Production Ready? Is it stable
enough for us to switch? We are going GA on Novemeber 11. And
we have a month of QA before that. So, the question is, will Tap
4 be stable enough by then?
thanks,
Mark

I believe Tapestry 4's LinkSubmit will do it.

Howard,
What is the recommended solution that will submit the form on a
link and pass in an id?
thanks,

Use a DirectLink component, and pass the id of the invoice as a
listener parameter.

I just saw another spat of user problems related to use of the

aren't
possible with the action service.
I would very much like to deprecate the action service and the
ActionLink component. Who out there is using it and why?
I'm currently using the ActionLink component a lot in all my
projects together
with contrib:Table.
The typical use-case looks something like this:
Invoices.html
[...]
<td jwcid="viewLinkColumnValue">
<a jwcid="view" href="../viewers/InvoiceViewer.html">
<span key="list.viewinvoice">details</span>
</a>
</td>
[...]
Invoices.page
[...]
<component id="invoiceTable" type="contrib:Table">
<binding name="source" value="invoiceList" />
<binding name="columns"
value="literal:id,subject,total,viewLink,editLink" />
<binding name="row" value="currentInvoice" />
</component>
<component id="view" type="ActionLink">
<binding name="listener" value="listener:viewInvoice" />
</component>
[...]
Usually the ActionLink's listener then does something like this
(Invoice being a
persistent property of InvoiceViewer):
public IPage viewInvoice(IRequestCycle cycle) {
InvoiceViewer iv = (InvoiceViewer)cycle.getPage("viewers/
InvoiceViewer");
iv.setInvoice(getCurrentInvoice());
return iv;
}
This pattern comes from contrib:Table's documentation. At least,
should
ActionLink be removed, alternatives have to be documented well
before we're
doing it, especially in places like contrib:Table, where the
documentation makes
explicit use of this component.
Still, I don't know enough about Tapestry's internals to know if
it would be a
good decision, but in any way, if it happens, it should happen
now. As I've said
before, it's better to make porting to 4.0 a major pain and
support 3.0 a little
bit longer than making big changes between 4.0 and 4.1.
How would you solve the above problem without using ActionLink?
cheers,
Jonas
