Hi
I have a tapestry page which contains a custom component; and I always thought
that the element name given to for the component within the TML file was used
to work out which component to render. However, in my example below, it seems
that I can give this component any element name I like and it will still
discover what the correct Component to render is. I'm assuming this might be
because the embedded component has a t:id attribute which is declared in the
java class as a specific type of component.
Is this expected behaviour in Tapesetry? Is it right that I can use element
name I like so long as I have a t:id attribute?
Cheers

MyPage.java
...
import mypackage.components.DateOfBirth;
...
@Component
private DateOfBirth dob;
…
MyPage.tml
…
<t:dateofbirth t:id="dob" t:label="message:dob-label"
t:value="member.securityQuestion.dob" t:bubbleOffsetX="104"
t:optionalMessage="${message:over18-dob-message}"/>
…
But if I use this instead; the component is still found and rendered:
…
<t:wibblewobble t:id="dob" t:label="message:dob-label"
t:value="member.securityQuestion.dob" t:bubbleOffsetX="104"
t:optionalMessage="${message:over18-dob-message}"/>
