Tapestry Palette

Drag & Drop Tapestry Component Editing

Tapestry Palette Preferences

The behavior of the palette, particularly the drag and drop editing of templates can be configured via the Tapestry Palette Preferences page. These preferences allow you to control how the palette generates the component refererences:

the following preference settings are available:

• Create Implicit References
  with this preference set the palette will create implicit Tapestry component references in the template during drag and drop editing.
• Create Anonymous Implicit Components
  with this preference set the palette will create anonymous implicit Tapestry component references in the template during drag and drop editing. Anonymous references have an jwcid with the fully qualified name of the component prefexed by a @ sign. The first preference must be checked before this preference can be set.
• Create Component id (jwcid) manually
  If you check this option you will be prompted to supply a jwcid value when you drop a component from the palette onto a template editor. With this option unchecked the palette will use an autogenerated jwcid, based upon the component name. This preference is disabled when the previous option is checked.
• Default OGNL Expression
  During drag and drop editing the palette must generate bindings for required parameters. This preference allows you to configure a default OGNL expression used in these bindings.
