Hi, i'm new to tapestry and i need some help: I show a list of objects in a table to allow the user to select wich one to edit. To do so i followed the quickstart and i created a DirectLink and passed the object id along with it. The handler of the DirectLink gets the edit page (@InjectPage) and sets the id to edit in it (setPID). The edit page loads the object from the db in the pageBeginRender method using the PID property set in the other page. And this is ok.
My problem is that this edit page allows the user to edit only few properties of the object, not all. So, when i submit i have this situation: - the pageBeginRender is called but the PID property is null because no one set that up this time, so i instantiate a new object. I tried to save the PID property in a hidden field in the form but the setter is called only after pageBeginRenderer so i can't use it to "preload" the object. - the submit listener is called after all the properties from the form have been set, so, as far as i was not able to preload it, only few properties of the object are set (remember i'm doing a partial edit) and i can't load the object now otherwise i will lose the data coming from the form. Obviously i want to avoid to copy properties from the (partial filled) object coming from the form into the original object because i want to try to use all possible automatism provided by the framework and i want to stay indipendent from what i put in the form if possible. Is there a way to escape from this situation? I'm open to change the logic of the whole thing if necessary.
