Tapestry In Action (Part Two)

In Tapestry, components are not an add-on; in fact, anything but! Tapestry components are integral to the entire framework ? if something dynamic is going on in a page, there's a component involved.

When building Tapestry applications, a constant problem solving approach is to create new components. Tapestry makes creating components very, very easy. In this session, we'll see how to create simple output-only components, and how to create components with their own templates. We'll also see how to create components that can have interactions with the user independent of the containing page. Tapestry is designed so that the components just drop in and work, and we'll touch on some advanced services included in Tapestry, such as JavaScript generation.
