hmm, how about using the tapx TemplateAPI and TemplateRenderer within a tapestry app?
I don't need to do anything fancy like Page rendering, and infact am just using a Page instance as useful hook for ajax methods. >From this method I just want to return some html rendered with tml, using tap's templating & expression language. I've used tapx TemplateRenderer before with success, for sending HTML emails. Was hoping to do something similar now, although having tried it I get the following error: TemplateAPI templateAPI = new TemplateAPI("mypackage.web", new File("/web/components")); TemplateRenderer renderer = templateAPI.createRenderer("Tiles", "en", "default"); RenderedStream renderedStream = renderer.render(); throws: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Location 'default' is not defined. Defined location names: (none). Any clues as to how to fix that error?
