Tapestry31 + Spring Integration Project Documentation

Still under development, when needed, please refer tapestry-wiki or email me at enefem at gmx dot net.

Installation

1. Download the package from sourceforge
2. Copy and paste tapestry-spring into your project classpath.

Configuration

You have to set listener in your web.xml that will intercept your spring beans configuration file, something like this:

<context-param>
	<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
	<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
	<listener-class>
		org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
	</listener-class>
</listener>

Then of course, you need the bean configuration itself. Below one is only example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" 
	"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
	<bean id="person" class="id.co.nincec.dymension.page.Person">
	<property name="name">
		<value>Nanda Firdausi</value>
	</property>
	</bean>
</beans>

Usage

Now time to see whether our bean can be accessed from Tapestry page. First, let we create the page specification (Home.page).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        
<!DOCTYPE page-specification PUBLIC
	"-//Apache Software Foundation//Tapestry Specification 3.1//EN"
	"http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/dtd/Tapestry_3_1.dtd">
        
<page-specification class="org.apache.tapestry.html.BasePage">
	<inject property="inuyasha"
		object="spring:person" />
</page-specification>

See, how easy to take Spring's bean managed into Tapestry page!! And so natural!!

The page template is trivial, one super-simple-example is like this (Home.html).

<span jwcid="@Insert" value="ognl:inuyasha" /> 

And we finish!!!
