I agree, no more setup or teardown :) > KidPage could provide additional methods similar to Kid, such as > load_template(), serialize, generate(), write(), with the difference > that there should be some caching behind and parameters should > automagically be set appropriately.

I think the servlet should get the template serialized and then write it to the page stream, maybe by a method writeTemplate, so I can rewrite this method to filter the output... I didn't think on many situations where I must catch the output, the only one is maybe the use of formencode (or another form validator). I had problems with formencode as to write the errors on the page I must use something like this: <input type="text" name="data"> <form:error name="data"> I thinking in a subclass of KidPage called KidFormPage (or something like this), this servlet should do exactly what KidPage does except it catches the page generated and validate the form, if there is some error, the designer will not refer to ir as <form:error ...>, I can create a servlet attribute called formError then the user should do: <input type="text" name="data"> <span py:content="formError.data">the error message</span> > Another idea: Maybe, instead of providing a KidPage class, we should > better provide a KidServlet mixin that adds this Kid Tempalte > functionality to ordinary Webware servlets? A mixin? I never worked with mixins, I can check it out... > Also, it should still be possible to have Kid templates without any > accompanying Webware class.

I have some code but it's uncommented, I in a middle of a project this week and it is taking all my time, I think next week I will restart to work with KidPage.
