An exerpt from a 2004 tapestry guide... -------- A component's parameters are bound to properties of the enclosing page. The component is allowed to read its parameter, to access the page property the parameter is bound to. A component may also update its parameter, to force a change to the bound page property. -----------
Does this imply that components do not have properties ? or should not ?... I know tapestry gives us enough rope to hang ourselves with Is there a politically correct semantic for pages vs components now... with tapestry5 or is the concept the same since older versions ? If anyone could elaborate on a general use model for components vs pages that would be helpful. I have found some page/component code cluttered up with so many properties and parameters not knowing which to use and when... whereby either of these have both pages and properties.... If anyone could elaborate on a general use model for components vs pages that would be helpful. Thanks Ken
