You saw my earlier email, though, right? With reference to that page 

http://blog.shadowbox.com/index.php?p=40 

I'm trying to follow that example to put together an Ant task where I
can automagically have the Engine reset for all templates, etc. And
someone earlier mentioned putting the "inspector" on each page. So I
thought I was on the right track. 

Either way, I tried it and it didn't work. No changes to the template
would show up. The url I used this time was...

http://localhost:8080/tapestryTesting/app?service=reset/ToDo3

As far as the second problem goes, we are trying to do something like
an include, yes. I think we may have tried Border and it wasn't enough
for what we needed.

I'm not in despair, it's just so steep. I like the tapestry idea. I
like the idea of more pure objects in development. That's partly why
I've latched on personally to Ruby on Rails and I'm learning that. But
I'm waiting for that "aha moment" with Tapestry. Right now it's just
hard slogging. What I'm trying to do right now (setup an environment
where one could rapidly change .page and .html files) is very simple in
Struts/JSP land. Copy the JSP files over and they recompile. Problem
solved. Why is this so hard with Tapestry? Why is there little to no
documentation on how to do it?

These are the things that are getting frustrating, you know?

Preston,

regarding your first problem (resetting the app), the text after the
"reset/" is the name of the page you want to reset. So please replace
contrib:Inspector with any of your pages...

About your second problem, what do you mean by including a file
processed by tapestry? Do you mean something like jsp:include?
Tapestry is all about components, so take a look at the most simple
Border components included in several tutorials (as well as Tapestry
in Action).

And don't despair, my friend... With Tapestry there's always an Aha!
moment that will speed things up, and maybe you're very close to it...
