Hi Daniel,
Tapestry does not process objects created using new. You can however try to
use ObjectLocator service. For example:
public class MyPage {
@Inject private ObjectLocator locator;
.... inside some method ...
Timer timer = new Timer("MyTimer");
OurTimerTask timerTask = locator.autobuild(OurTimerTask.class);
timer.schedule(timerTask, 100,100);
}
Alternatively, you can implement a factory service that would just create
OurTimerTask instances and provide them with a reference to OurService.
