I am thinking about that if Tapestry could have a
consistent component packaging mechanism, which will
ease the development, the usage and tools such as
spindle. Here's what I thought.
1. components should be packaged into a jar file, or,
may be we can name it as tapestry archive(tar) :-)
2. components should have an entry in META-INF, just
as hivemind.xml, it will list all libabry files this
archive contains.
3. component archives can be put into
WEB-INF/components directory, this can be default or
be configured in tapestry.application file, or as
servlet parameter. I prefer the latter, since most the
time my tapestry.application file contains only the
library reference. I think tools like spindle can easy
find all components there.
4. tapestry servlet should have a context class loader
including these archives which can be referenced by
all pages it serves.
