Perhaps this could be added to "core" since it's a common enough pattern? That way, you wouldn't have to worry about the requirement of making sure that you add the listener in. It would be there automatically. Or, you can do this manually in your own Component class and not rely upon the listener to call it. You just do it in onBeforeRender() and slap that meta tag on the component after you perform the initialization. Or, we make a new callback method on Component called onBeforeFirstRender() or something. I don't know. I'm just trying to help come up with ideas here. In our application, the IBeforeFirstRenderListener approach is working because I'm not creating re-usable components to be consumed outside my application. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
